What a cool week!!!
We started to teach a family that we had found last week. We taught them the Book of Mormon first and then taught them the restoration the next day. Then they had to go out of town so we haven't had much contact with them. We are going to go by them tonight and see how they are doing and if they still want to get taught.
We had a pretty cool story this week. So in one of the areas we work in a lot there is a trouble maker. He just got out of juvi and has been back up to no good. I was pretty sure he was a less active member as well. We didn't have a chance to talk to him but whenever he would see us he would just say some pretty bad things to us and we would walk away. Well, one day I was pretty tried of it and just walked up to him and started talking to him. He is 17 and already dropped out of highschool. He is baciaclly only a freshman. But we started talking and asked him if he wanted to change. He said he didn't know if he could. He was just in too deep but we promised him that we could help him if he really wanted to change. He said okay and we left it at that. We haven't been able to talk to him again but we are going to try. It was cool to see how much he changed. He went from swearing at us and saying gross things to treating us like a friend. That night I was reading my patriarchal blessing and I had a very strong prompting that I'm going to be helping kids like him for the rest of my life. He is a member of one of the gangs down here and I think a lot of what I'm supposed to do in the future is going to be involved with that. It was pretty cool to receive that revelation! I've learned so many things on the mission!
We found another pretty cool girl. She is about 25. We knocked on her door and started talking to her. She told us that she is pregnant. We asked her what kind of life she wants for her baby and she said the best! She told us that we could come back and teach her some more. I'm excited to help her. I can tell she is going to be a good investigator!!
This was a pretty good week! We learned a lot and had a lot of fun!!! I love you all have a good week!!
