This week was a very Spirit filled week. Monday and Tuesday were pretty normal days here in Bandon with P day as well as a service filled Tuesday. On Wednesday we had Zone Conference and it was a very good one. President Orton is a spiritual powerhouse and we talked about many subjects ranging from companionship unity to receiving revelation. I think we all walked away feeling good about the meeting and being very spiritually filled. We also learned that a seventy will be visiting the mission next month, and as that comes closer I will let you all know about that!
Teaching wise, we had a couple good experiences this week. On Thursday we felt prompted to visit one of our other investigators who never seems to be home. As we came by though, we found his daughter, who let us straight in. She thought that we were Jehovah Witnesses at first, but after all of that confusion was gone, we got to explain who we were and got into a great discussion where another member of her family got involved. We got to teach a great Restoration lesson and really just help them understand our religion more. We hope to go back again this upcoming week.
We also got to teach David, the cranberry bog farmer, again. Since we last left he read over what we gave him twice and was very excited about what he was reading. He apparently told his family about us very favorably, and got engaged into a lesson that flew by but ended up being two hours. He is really growing in the Gospel and is just a super sincere person. We talked a lot about how faith and the Holy Ghost are linked which really helped him understand faith better. It was one of the best lessons in a long while.
Finally today I got to see the eclipse. The Woolley's invited us over and let us watch it with them, as well as another senior missionary couple name the Sivula's. It was fun to watch, as the sky darkened and the temperature dropped for a few minutes. I also got to run into my old companion Bushman from last transfer. He came through on a mission tour with his family and it was nice getting to catch up with him.
Thank you for all of the support!
