Hey to everyone!
This week was significantly better!
Although, this week we had way more fun and goofed around often, which in turn meant we worked harder. On Wednesday we had the chance to set up a table at KSU and we set it up with copies of the Book of Mormon and some pamphlets and stuff. It was really fun once people started coming up to us. At first I was way stressed but then really cool experiences happened. This guy came behind the table and asked me what mission we were on and I told him and then I asked "are you a member?" To which he responded: "Meh, I was but I haven't been in a really long time." He was so chill and nonchalant about it, it was kinda cool and surprising. Well we were talking and eventually I asked him to come to church on Sunday and he said he would. We also invited him to play frisbee on Thursday. The YSA kids play frisbee with a bunch of nonmembers and the missionaries can come in pday clothes and play while contacting and doing a spiritual thought after. So he came and the people in the branch fellowshipped him really well. I'm really proud of the people in the branch, they are just so cool. So this guy came to church on Sunday and I think he got emotional during sacrament and the first talk (which was about repentance and it was actually a really good talk) and I tried not to look so as to give him privacy, but I know he felt the spirit. I asked him afterward what he thought and he said it was good and it was worth it, "I'll definitely keep coming." BAH! So happy and so proud!
Another guy came up to sister Madsen and sister Beck and told them he had a Book of Mormon, but he wanted to know more. So on Thursday he met up with us and we taught him the frist lesson. First off, a little bit about this guy, he goes to KSU and is majoring in History Ed. He wants to be a teacher that teaches tolerance and love, and so he's been to MANY churches and learned about them so that he can get a real understanding of different religions and their culture and beliefs. He's quite a cool individual. So we taught him and he said he's never been to a church that legitamitely emphasizes learning and understanding in order to get a testimony. He loves that we encourage him to ask God if what we were telling him is true. And he thought that the whole story of Joseph Smith made historical and spiritual sense. He said, "yeah, I mean why would God stop talking to his children jsut because it's modern?" Exactly! And the whole part about Christ appearing to the people in the Americas made sense to him too. He's an awesome investigator.
It's been a really good week and we had a lot of good experiences. I hope this week is good too. Oh and on Wednesday morning we did the Bishop's storehouse and after everyone had gone through the ladies told us to take whatever produce we wanted. Seriously, the Lord blessed us. I had like nothing when we left and I came home with a huge bag of grapes, broccoli, cauliflower, plums, apples, oranges and carrots. It was so nice to have food this week! Also, we found out our complex has a gym. Also, another great blessing to find that out.
