9 Days

Friends and Family,

I'm moving right along into my last week!
Time has just flown by.

This last week we were able to meet with a lot of good people, found some new and lost new as well. you win some you lose some I guess.

We got a referral from some YSA sisters nearby and we set up an appointment with the lady. Met up with her in a park, shared the restoration and the Book of Mormon with her and everything went super good! She seemed to be taken back and excited to come to church. She also was eager to read from and pray about the Book of Mormon. We left the appointment and 2 days later we messaged her asking how she was doing and how she felt about the message, she replied later that day and basically just said, "I didn't get what I asked for, I'm not interested anymore." Unfortunately instant gratification in a our world today is so obtainable, the whispering of the spirit are pushed aside by those who wont listen. Curious question, are we too focused on the here, now and getting what we want that we aren't receptive to what God wants for us?

The rest of the week went well and we were able to meet with some of our investigators.

We had a really great experience with one who at the beginning of our lesson was talking to us about shrooms help us receive revelation and promptly suggested that we try some. Ha. We then promptly went into the Word of Wisdom and shut him down which he understood. but we also were able to teach all of the restoration and he told us, "If I ever actually become a Mormon, it will be solely grounded in what you taught me the first time we met that I can receive my answers directly from God."
What a guy.

Exciting times are coming.
see you all soon!
