Hello AWESOME family!
What a week this has been. It was different from all of our
other weeks. It was a good week.
We did a lot of "finding," we had a lot of success. Most of
the new people we met with let us in, we taught the
Restoration, invited them to be baptized, and they accepted. One
day we had to go tracting in the morning, so we biked there,
lock our bicycles up and went to the first doo, to start
knocking. Before we could knock on the door, the lady came out
and we started talking with her. We really taught most of the
Restoration on her doorstep and she said we could come back and
teach her more. She said she is looking for a church to go to.
The best part is we didn't even "tract." :)
Another one we were tracting and this lady was busy and said
we could come back that evening. We intended to but Elder
Judkins got a flat tire so we had to change our plans. By the
way, duct tape is a great temporary fix for a punctured tire,
however it is very short term and hard to remove once placed,
for future reference. We stopped by to talk with the lady who
said we could come back a couple days later, she let us right in
and we taught her whole family. Her boyfriend was there, who was
prepared to meet with us. He was very opened minded, he
had studied with missionaries from another church, and work was
very stressful; all of his questions, that he asked, we told him
we were about to explain that in the next principle we would
teach. It was just like Alma who told the people that he was
just about to explain a certain doctrine, it was awesome.
We met with Bro Robert this week and he came to church as
well. He told us that he is ready to become a member of the
Church. We were very excited. Bro Robert is a very sincere and
loving man. The best way to describe him is a big teddy bear. He
loves to preach the word of God. He can go on and on. He has
also taken on what his wife has been calling us; He started
calling us "our sons." Sis Anderson told us she has been trying
to figure out for nine years how she would kidnap the
missionaries. I just thought how my Mom would come and find me.
Oh yea, I almost forgot; we received transfer calls. Elder
Judkins is leaving and I will be staying here. I will be here
for the next two transfers, just so you know. Transfer meeting
will be Wednesday, so I will let you know next week who my next
companion will be.
I love you all! May the Spirit be with you!
Elder Durrant
