So i think this week might have been like my favorite so far... seriously an amazing week. First of all, i went to court! haha rumor has it someone was nervous about that... haha but it was so awesome! It was myself, two other missionaries and a ton of scary looking people. haha I didnt have to testify or anything though so thats too bad. So anyway, my companion and I hav been working so hard and this week and have been blessed with lessons with amazing people. We taught more lessons this week than we every have! and they were awesome! We've been working hard to make like all our lessons to be members presents which has been great.
Ok, so I wanna tell y'all about this one lesson we had. So we had this cita with this couple, whos son is a member but doesnt live with them. We brought a member named Hermano Gonzalez who is AMAZING! such a great guy. Anyway so we went and when we showed up there were two other people there. And they said they wanted to listen too. So we were like great! more people! so we started teaching a little bit and talking to them and then two more people came in. They wanted to listen too. So we were like, GREAT! haha so we kind of started over and then more people came in ! by the end there were like 9 or 10 people! it was like a class! it was sooooo much fun. And we used a couple demonstrations that made it fun and interactive and at the end with the restoration and the Book of Mormon the spirit was sooooooo strong! it was seriously amazing. And Hermano gonzalez told them his story of finding the church that was over 20 years ago! ahhh it was amazing! And then at the end we ALL kneeled and prayed! and the Dad of the house asked if the Book of Mormon is true!!!!! ahhh it was such a fun lesson. One of the people who walked in named patricia was like amazed the whole time. And we only had a couple LDM's to give out so not everyone got one right away but she made sure she got one! she was like, I WANT THAT BOOK. haha it was so cool. And were going to teach all of them again this tuesday! im really excited. And hermano Gonzalez and his wife are going to come! im really looking forwrd to that.
Ok, another thing i want to tell you about. So we got a media refferral the other day(text message refferral) and we went to it. We met this family. There were kids everywhere and they love missionaries and they all said they were members. So they couldnt really talk cuz they had visitors so we came back the next day and sat down with them to try and figure out the situation. There was just one girl whos eleven and her parents.(the kids before were counsins) The girl is a member but the parents arent. shes 11. She found the church through her grandfather, took the lessons and wanted to get baptized. Her parents arent married and her older sister isnt a member but she is. It was AMAZING talking to this little girl and her telling us her conversion story. She's eleven years old and she KNOWS this church is true. It was so amazing and so humbling. I learned a lot from this girl.
We also got to teach this guy named Alberto who's amazing! he loved the first lesson and were teaching him agian this tuesday with a really cool member. Ahh its sooo cool. We've been kind of stuck because all of the people we've been teaching want to get baptized but cant because of legal reasons or lame stuff. but we've been praying and lookin for people who are ready to hear the gospel and have been so blessed to find these people. Seriously amazing people. O! also yesterday we took one of our investigators to another baptism and he loved it. It was so cool. And church was so fun and some awesome investigators came! so awesome!
ahhhh such a great week, we had other awesome lessons but this email is really long and im out of time. Anyway, i cant wait to hear about Candace and Alex's baby and i hope everything goes well. The church is sooo true and im loving it out here! help the missionaries out cuz they need you! love you sooo much and thank you for writing!
Love, Elder Foulger
