This week was pretty similar to the previous week, but several miracles did happen from it. First, it snowed! It didn't last long whatsoever, but it was nice to see snow to go along with the cold that had hit the Eugene area, making it officially look like winter. I heard stories of how it hit the coast as well and the city of Newport panicked and shut everything down for the day. I have come to the conclusion that Oregonians don't know what to do around snow, haha.
Moving on to the important side of things, we had several lessons with a couple of our main investigators. With one of them we managed to bring a priest. It was a neat lesson where the priest was able to bear a powerful testimony about fasting and really enjoyed his experience. I think we might have just convinced him to go on a mission in a year or two.
On Tuesday we had a great lesson with the part member family at the church. In the end they committed to try to find ways to come to church. Previous to this they have had work on Sunday's, and while it might take some time to pan out, they took a few large steps in their faith.
One last story came from Sunday. We were out tracting but got a bunch of nasty denials. Ultimately it didn't feel like the right thing for us to do, so we started to head in another direction to regroup. As we went we heard someone cry out and were able to help an older woman who had fallen on the ground and was unable to move. She left fairly quickly, but it felt like that we were definitely directed to help her out at that time and it was cool to be an answer to someone's prayer.
The work is progressing and thanks for the support!
