Letter Home - Week 53

Dear loved ones,

This week has been a great week. We've been working with some less active members this week and it paid off. Hearts are softening and changing. We had two of them come to church this week. One was Sister Sharon Mitchell and the other was Sister Maturine with her son and one other person that I didn't know. Bro. James was sick last week and didn't come but this week he was feeling better and he was there. We are working with his children to help them. Hopefully we are making a difference in their lives. We are doing our best. We have also been working with Emon (Bro. and Sis. Smith's son) and he is doing great. He was determined to come to church but he got sick the day of and couldn't come. He will hopefully come next week. We watched the restoration video with him and the spirit was present there. He was watching intently and it was great. We also during another lesson went over the book of mormon with him. He can't really read but he has a smart phone so he can listen to the book of mormon. We helped him download it and simply invited him to make the good choice to listen to it and he faithfully did. He was happier the next time that we visited him and there was a noticeable difference in him. It was great to see. We visited Debbie a few times this week. She is a new investigator and she already began to read. We have only had a few short lesson with her so we don't know a lot about her but we feel the spirit there and that she has a sincere desire to be better and follow Heavenly Father. Yesterday we went for p-day with the med student here to their school to play some basketball with them. It was really great to play. It was a lot of fun. It was a nice court which is rare here and everyone could play pretty well (which can also be rare). It was a good time. We also went and played ping pong at the church. We played one on one, two on two, and even around the world with everyone. It reminded me of cross country came where we played around the world as well. Lots of fun. Today we had one of the most spiritual and powerful mtgs that I've had on my mission. It was a really great zone mtg. It was what everyone needed and something that I believe will help each of us to reach our full potential as missionaries. We talked a lot about obedience, humility, and love. We watched a few powerful videos and the discussion among everyone was great. Well I love you all so much!
