Following the p day at the end of last Tuesday, the week really flew by with a bunch of random events that occurred, that made the week feel a bit different. To start, on Tuesday night we watched the Restoration movie at the church. Unfortunately none of our investigators came, but we did get to show it to a couple of recent converts which was fun. On Wednesday morning we had a special service at the veteran affairs in Roseburg. It was a 2k race where we pushed old vets in wheelchairs for the two miles. It was fun to listen to their stories of serving in various wars like World War Two and the Korean War. Other things that happened service wise included helping an old couple recovering from back surgery wash their car and plant various plants in their garden.
We also had some good lessons as well. We met with an investigator named Bradly and discussed the first half of the Plan of Salvation with him. Every time we meet with him we can see the Spirit working on him, and more and more clicking with him. We also got to meet Philip again and have a great lesson about prayer, and see both Bradly and Philip come to church. Beyond that we met with many various people and got to set up some good lessons for this week. We also hope to meet with Mario again in the near future as well and officially put him on date for baptism.
Transfers are coming in two weeks and I get the feeling I will leave Winston. If I do or not though, I can say I feel like I really was able to invite people to come to Christ through the Gospel. It is amazing to get to be apart of this great work and to really serve people in the best way possible through sharing that Gospel. There are very solid people we are teaching now, and more are on the way. It has been a great time out here.
Thanks for all of the support!
