This past week was good! I have really enjoyed getting to know Elder
Quinton and we already are best friends and he is such a great
companion. He is an amazing missionary. We are getting along so well
and we play basketball pretty much every morning (I finally have a
companion that loves basketball as much as me). We were able to have a
miracle with our friend Adel and have some other people with great
potential. The work is somewhat slow moving but it will pick up.
We were able to see our friend Adel who at first had turned us away at
the door but then he randomly let us in the 3rd time. At first he was
just boasting about his church and so we tried to get out of there but
he asked us to tell him what we have to say. So we started going
through the Restoration and when we talked about the apostasy
something clicked in his mind and he was intrigued. Then we told about
Joseph Smith and then during the first vision he started crying
because the Spirit touched his heart. And then when we spoke about the
Priesthood being restored and there being an unbroken chain, he
completely understood it and he knew it was true. He committed to be
baptised and was excited about it. He is a really fun, loving person
and we connected well with him. The only concern is that he is older
and his health isn't very good but he believes in it and he knows
Heavenly Father is speaking to him about this. Amazing miracle!
We haven't been able to contact Keith and Janine which is unfortunate
but they will come around! We are trying to work with three African
families who are such nice people but their schedules can be hard to
work with being either taxi drivers or working nights.
I love being a missionary so much. Life truly is exciting and being a
district leader is so fun. Thank you all for the birthday wishes. Hope
you have an amazing week!
