This week was a fairly normal week all things considered, but there were some good experiences. We were able to teach our investigator Guillian twice this past week. We got to teach him the Plan of Salvation in the first lesson and go over prophets again in the second lesson. Through out the lesson the Spirit kept on making things click, for example the mom told us that she already believed and knew about the pre-mortal world even though she had completely forgotten it a long time ago. Then during the prophets lesson Guillian surprised us by basically teaching us the entire Plan of Salvation lesson showing he remembered a lot more than we thought he would. These kind of experiences are what a mission is all about, the chance to share the Gospel to others.
On Friday the ward had a trunk or treat/dinner event that we got to attend. That was Elder Huang's first real experience with Halloween and it was fun seeing him embrace a bit of American culture. We also had several potential investigators attend which was awesome as well. Saturday the zone leaders came on down again and we went on out to contact people who lived in the middle of nowhere, then Sunday we had to give talks. I was asked to give a short five minute talk while my companion gave a full talk. In the end they went well, but the real surprise was seeing the Jefferies, my next door neighbor, show up and congratulate us. That was really fun and really proved to me how small the world really is.
In the end that was the week. In the coming week or two there are some very solid potential investigators we will get to teach, as well as good things coming our way. Until then, thank you for all of the support and happy Halloween!!!
