This week went fairly well. We didn't get to teach
that many lessons but we were able to do some service and meet a few new
people. We had a lesson with a pm/la family and their two young girls.
One is 4 and the other is 6 years old. They have not had any upbringing
in any church or anything relating to God. We taught them how Christ
takes away our sins. we used the analogy of cleaning our rooms. We asked
'do you always clean your rooms exactly how mom wants it?' we then
explained that we can do all that we are able to do and then mom will
help us clean it up and finish it the way she wants it. The girls were
so cute during the lesson! After the prayer we told them that they could
open their eyes and after a few minutes told them that they can unfold
their arms. haha so great!
We are also going to start teaching a la family with a 13 year old boy that is not a member. The dad is a very funny guy! when we call he sounds like he is bored until he finds out that it is the missionaries calling. After he learns who we are he says, 'This is the missionaries??!!" in a loud voice.
We had a party for the 24th of July this last Saturday. We have invited literally everyone we have talked to and nobody came!!! It was still a very fun event! we had Dutch oven chicken and vegetables. Elder Sanders and I were in charge of a few dutch ovens and got to help cook. It was 109 outside and plus the head of cooking the food, it was almost enough to make my tag melt. (I thought it actually might). But the party was not a complete failure, missionary wise. A returning less active, Ryan, brought one of his roommates and we invited her to come to the next lesson we have with him. She said she believes in God and I said, 'Well then we will talk about God.'
We had a lesson with an investigator this week who is our closest to being baptized. However, she does not have a social security number and does not want to quit her job, seeing that it will be even harder to find one without a green card. And She needs to quit her job to be able to come to church! So we will see! We told her to fast and pray about it and she has a lot of faith so I'm sure she will be able to find something.
