The last two weeks have really just been grinding out Facebook finding and preach my gospel lessons. We've had a lot of success recently and I don't know who I can thank for it. Let's go with God. We are teaching 4 different people through messenger text lessons which still is kinda odd but it's working. As long as they respond back in a hasty manner, it works out. Believe it or not, we've gotten all 4 of those people to download Book of Mormon apps and are now reading and praying about it. What a crazy world.
This is probably going to be a shorter email since, although we've been pretty dang busy teaching, not a whole lot of interesting stuff has happened recently. That'll definitely change with Christmas events within the next two weeks. One of those being I'm performing in a talent show and playing piano with another Elder. I don't know why I sign up for things, I don't play piano all that well. But hey, they said we need enough people to perform otherwise they'll have to do something else. I guess a couple of things that were interesting is teaching this guy named J in person. The last time we were over, we were following up to see if he had prayed to know if the Book of Mormon is true. Well, he did and he had an interesting answer. He (BTW, this guy is 12) said that he heard the thought that said "yes", but then a follow up thought of "why would you believe that?" We had a really good conversation on how typically the first thought you get in these situations is from the Holy Ghost and the proceeding thoughts are the adversary trying to get you to doubt the first thought you just got. J understood completely and accepted his original thought as the answer. He know has a little testimony of the truth and it can only go up from here.
Another dope thing that happened would be us finally getting in contact with someone named M. She has a very busy life and didn't really have a lot of time for us to begin with. Well, we had a lesson with her at about the beginning of November and it was super duper solid, but contact got cutoff. That is, until two days ago. I just randomly hit her up on Facebook messenger and said "Hey, do you remember me?" She said "Of course I remember you, you are a missionary. You teach people about God." I then proceeded to explain that we really want to talk with her about God again since last time was awesome. She was so down for that and managed to find a 30-45 minute for us to talk to her in her busy life. We were feeling pretty bold so we just started the discussion by saying "Monica, we want to tell you about Christ's restored church" and then taught the Restoration. She was very intrigued and really wanted to have a Book of Mormon so we whipped on down to her house and gave her a physical copy. She gave us some pecans in exchange for the book. Super nice lady.
Yeah, not a whole lot else to tell you guys. I have 3 picture this week and I'm sorry about that. Next email will be a banger, don't you worry.
Have a blessed week,
Elder Batman
