This week was characterized by lessons, storms, and tracting. On Tuesday we had a lesson with one of the part member families we have been teaching for a while. We watched President Nelson’s Sunday morning talk on revelation and discussed it afterwards. It was a great lesson that led to talking about how they want to be sealed and how he is close to deciding to be baptized. It has been a long time coming, but it has been awesome watching the Spirit slowly work on their family. Now we just need to get them to church!
In the end, we actually managed to get a lesson set up for every day of the week which is a huge improvement for this area. We are doing our best to help people overcome challenges such as Sabbath day worship and the Word of Wisdom. They are progressing line upon line, but seeing the small improvements over time has been a blessing.
The weather this week has been crazy. Every other day has been a rain storm, and the other day is a nice sunny day. On Saturday we even got a nice and strong 40-50 mph winds that made the rain fall sideways on us and knock over a few trees in the morning before we went on out. It was a crazy time where we got absolutely drenched. Reminds me of the Newport weather!
One final miracle I will mention happened on Sunday. All week we had been trouble finding a new investigator. As we went for one last tracting session we were both really hoping for a miracle. The first few doors we knocked were not interested, but by the time we knocked our way around the street one last door opened right up to us and let us come in and share our message. We were unable to get him to commit to a return appointment, but it was a tender mercy for sure. The Lord does bless us, but it is always in his way and time. Thanks for all of the support!
