I got to play basketball with three guys outside of a taco truck on a
hoop with no backboard!! So, explanation: outside out apartments, these guys
often get together and play some ball. They are high school age and are
awesome. So, we asked them if we could play with them one afternoon and they
let us and it was AWESOME! It was so much fun and we got to be pretty good friends
with them! Also, we won the game! Whoo!
Missionaries got game! Whoo! We are DEFINITELY gonna play with them again and
start teaching and sharing messages with them!
Also, we had a straight up miracle come upon us!!! So..... we were
finishing up some planning and we had a lesson that night with a wonderful
woman that I actually had not taught yet. So..... we
were deciding whether or not to invite her to be baptized and what we should
teach. We weren't completely sure but we decided that we would bring up baptism
and kinda get a feel for where she was and work from there BUT we decided we
would teach about the Restoration of the Gospel. :) So, we got a ride up to
their house from her husband and got in there, started a great conversation
with her and then she was off to the races. She told US that she was ready to
take the discussions, learn more and take the NEXT STEP. Our mouths almost
dropped open with amazement. She said the words, "I've test driven and now
I'm ready to buy." WOW! So, we taught the Restoration, committed her to
read the Book of Mormon with her and we are going to try and set a baptismal
date with her this next week. The crazy thing is she is going to have her baby
in like 10 days! She is having a c-section! It will be their second so they
are very excited! Overall, it was such an incredible experience and wow......
what a miracle! Also, we had Zone Training and Interviews with our Mission
President and his wife this past week! It was so gosh darn fun! I have
learned a lot this past week about trusting in the Lord and the importance of
doing the small things that much BETTER. I know that I will never succeed as a
missionary without Heavenly Father's help. :)
