Amazing experience!

On Tuesday we had zone conference in which they stressed on working with members (Active, less active, part member). They helped us understand how to ask for referrals from active members as well as working with PM/LA. I also held district meeting on Friday were we talked about Zone Conference and did role plays. This week one of the zone leaders came down and worked in our area but with the Spanish people. We went to lunch with them to a place called Chuys which is a super good Tex-mex place. We also had the chance to help a family move. We had to load there big moving truck which took a couple hours but it was fun. We also got chick-Fi-la!

We had an amazing experience last night were we went to try and contact this LA/PM family the Godwins who I have been by so many times. We luckily caught sisters Godwin outside her apartment talking with her neighbor Sarah. Sarah is now a single mother who has been going through some very difficult challenges over the last month. We were able to give her a Book of Mormon as well as a plan of salvation pamphlet. She was very excited to read and learn more. We were also able to set a return appointment were Sarah will go over to the Godwins and we can have a lesson there. It will be a great less active and investigator lesson.

We also were able to contact another LA/PM couple named the Obersts. He is in the army and fell away from the church around the age of 17. He is so cool and he knows that the church is true. He was talking a lot about how he loves the church history and then talked about how Joseph Smith had no education and could not have written the Book of Mormon without revelation from God. He doesn't come to church because he doesn't want to go without his wife and he also doesn't want his wife to feel pressured or forced into going. She has spoken with missionaries before but she felt like they moved to fast and that she wasn't ready at that time. I think she is ready now so hopefully we can continue to help that family progress and one day enter into the temple.

It was a great week and we ran into a couple interesting people one who did not like me because I'm white and he thinks Mormons are racist. He also said Jesus is black with dreads. Interesting man. We had a couple other lessons this week with less actives and
new investigators. Hopefully people will start to progress soon.
