Hello friends!!!
First a companion spotlight: Sister Romney is awesome and this week she was able to invite one of her friends back home to meet with the missionaries. She's the best!!
Ah this week was just SO AMAZING. So Monday night after pday had ended, we met with this guy that who had been referred by his cousins in different states. He asked if we could meet with us in his friend's house. When we went, we invited his friend to join us, along with another friend that was there. THEY BOTH JOINED and all 3 kept asking questions and were so interested. Back to the man who had originally been referred. He is one of the most prepared people I've ever met. God really just gives us the best miracles. He is so awesome and I just love him with all my heart!!! Just him hearing about the gospel and telling us that he wants to change his life makes me so happy. The other day we were on the phone and he even told us that he also feels like he's so prepared to hear the gospel. It has been so amazing. We are meeting with him again on Wednesday!! We could so use everyone's prayers for this person!!!
That night, we were walking back to our apartment after the lesson. One of our neighbors were up on their balcony. When we got back to our door, Sister Romney was like, "darn it, I got a prompting to say hi, but I didn't." So we went back. Sister Romney said hi and he didn't say anything (haha he actually just walked back inside) but we were like, okay we followed through anyways. Well, we didn't want to be awkward and just turn around, so we kept walking a little more and were going to make a loop. Then get this. Sister Romney (guys she's so awesome) waved hi to this random guy. We were like, "hey how are you doing?" We introduced ourselves and told him we were the missionaries. Turns out he was doing food delivery in our complex. We got his number and he was like, "well I don't believe in organized religion, but yeah I'm down to talk with you guys. " so we set up a phone lesson and it was SO AWESOME!! In that lesson, we just shared simple truths, and every time he would be like, "actually that makes so much sense. I completely agree with that." At the end, he told us, "I don't believe in organized religion, but if I did, it would be this one." We're going to talk again(: could really use everyone's prayers for this guy too!!
THEN. (The miracles don't stop there). We had called a guy who had gone to the family history center before. He's only been taught 1 lesson. We talked about family history and right in the middle he was like, sorry I have to go. So we didn't set up a time to meet. Then he texted us one night and asked to meet up!!!?!??! That is miracle right there friends.
Lastly, there has been a family who one member of their family members isn't a member of our church. We brought them brownies this week and the said we could come back and spend time with their family (don't worry, we can meet at parks, chapels, and homes of friends if they invite us in) next week which will be tomorrow!!!
I thought I was excited about missionary work before but now I am literally just ahhh no words can describe it. The work is just so alive here. There are so many prepared people here. Every day is filled with new exciting things!!!
Hope all of you are doing good. Remember to open up your scriptures (specifically the Book of Mormon) every single day!! It is God's word and testifies of Christ!!
Also embarrassing but hilarious. Not sure about everyone else, but everyone still wears masks in LA area. Mask tan lines are real. I was literally in the sun for maybe 30 min *sigh* just being super real with everyone me and Sister Romney though it was so funny hahaha
Love you all byeeee
