This past week has been a blur. To start, Elder Law and I went out to try to really make contact with everyone we hadn't really met with, and we did it. We knocked on a lot of doors and figured out their stories, who has moved, who remains, and their interest level. It has been a crazy but good time really, going and working hard out here in the Newport area. Through it all we have had several miracles.
Some of those came in the form of learning about future people we will teach, from part member households, including a girl being taught by the Elders in Las Vegas and a man who is awesome at many different kinds of musical instruments. Others came from referrals we received from other missionaries, but the biggest one came from a referral from Utah.
A couple of weeks ago we set up a lesson with her and it finally happened this week. As we went over we found that she was more than prepared to learn, with a huge notebook ready. She loved what she has heard and says it all sounds true. In the past week we have taught her the Restoration and Plan of Salvation, seen that she has read through 1st Nephi, is praying, and attended all three hours of church! On Sunday during our second lesson we put her on date for January 13th. I may be transferred out by that date, but early signs show that she will make it. It is a true blessing to meet those the Lord has prepared.
The work is progressing, and to all those at home, go out and light the world! The best way to come to know Christ is by following His example and serving others. Thank you for all of the support!
