Week 48; October 6, 2014 - Flowers and Testimonies Bloom
Hey, I hope everyone had a
great week! This has been a really good week for us. We had another awesome
floor hockey game for P-day!

Tuesday was really cool
too. The temple needed new flowers planted, so we brought the whole zone
out to plant over 7000 flowers at the temple. We we're all super tired by the
end of the day, but the temple looked amazing.

That night we went to
see Andreas and that went really well. He's making a lot of progress and he’s remembering
how much his testimony means to him. He was praying for answers last week and he
felt that God was still there for him and would help him work out his questions
if he was patient. He accepted that he needs to work to find those answers, but
he knows that God will help him. He invited us to come and teach his three
daughters tomorrow and wants them to have more of the the Gospel influencing
their lives. We're really excited to go back and teach the family and we are
looking forward to working with them more.

We we're also trying to
track down investigators from the sister's old area this week. The first guy we
contacted looked at us through the peep hole in his door and just chuckled a
little bit. So, we tracted around the building a little more without much
luck. When we got outside I decided to contact an older man using a
walker. He smiled and said he was actually a member of the church. He hadn't
had any contact with the church or the missionaries for quite a while, but he
gladly invited us in. It was really cool to see a message reminding him, “Don't
forget to read the scriptures,” written on a sticky note on his door. He then
showed us that he kept a copy of The Book of Mormon in his walker bag and he takes
it with him everywhere he goes. We shared a gospel message with him and he
expressed how thankful he was that God had helped us cross paths that day. I am
really thankful we were directed to a random part of town to a random name on a
list, after we thought nothing would come of it, we were able to visit someone
that really needed to see us.
The week ended great. We
got to watch General Conference for much of the weekend. It was wonderful to be
uplifted by messages from a latter-day Prophet and Apostles (See link below).
Oh, by the way, I want
to wish my Dad a happy 50th birthday! Thank you for being the best Dad
ever!
Have a great week
everyone… I Love you guys!
