We still got some good stuff done though! I taught one of their friends
who is close to getting baptized who took us to a Chinese restaurant. We talked
about the covenants we make at Baptism and the renewing of them AR the
sacrament.
We were able to find a really cool family! We knocked some doors and
they answered and just immediately let us in. We sat down and got to know them
and then shared the Restoration with them. They were way cool! And they just
kept going and gathering all the family members to come and listen to us while
we were there haha.
So the exchange was in a bike area and I went biking for 2
hours in 3 degrees so that was the worst. And nobody was interested but I'm
praying for blessings from that haha.
Once I finally got back to my own area we
had a lesson with our 5 girls again. Two of them are reading The Book of Mormon
and praying like nothing I've ever seen. We're hopefully going to put them on
baptismal date this week! We changed the way they prayed because they were
praying to Saints, not God, and the 3 of them who did it said that it was such a
beautiful experience. They talked about feeling peace and love during the
prayer!
We knocked a friends door who opened up, did an out loud "ugh" and
slammed it so hard haha. It was way funny. And then on Sunday while translating,
the woman who was speaking was making it very difficult haha. She was talking so
fast, reading so many very long and complicated quotes from Apostles, and
reading scriptures and it was difficult. Elder Holgreen sent a message to our
district telling them to say a prayer for me hahaha and they did and all the
sudden I started translating insanely well and it way smooth. So prayer is real!
We also got to teach second hour and we put together an amazing lesson about The
importance of Gathering Israel and how we have to the members help. We shared
with them the guiding principles of Love, Share and Invite that the First
Presidency released to help us and broke all those down. We challenged them to
make an action plan to share the gospel this week and we are visiting all of
them to make sure they do it haha. I'm so excited for our area to improve with
their help!!
Well sorry yall nothing too crazy this week. Love ya!
Talk to ya
next week!
Love, Elder Ryan
