What an interesting week! We had so many miracles at the beginning of the week and found so many people but on Fridayand Saturday all of them dropped us. It was pretty down-heartening but we kept the faith knowing that if we believe we will achieve! We went out for many hours this past weekend and just harvested since we didn't have anyone to visit. It was really hot and humid but we made an if-then statement earlier in the week that if we didn't complain then we would find a family of 4. So we started saying things like "I love how hot it is right now!" and "I love to sweat a lot!" It helped us keep our spirits high and not let us get negative.
And we had transfer calls last night. My whole apartment is staying! We had stake conference, so a new zone was created and ward and area boundaries were changed, so it's going to be a crazy transfer. I'm staying with Elder D'Addabbo, still greenie-breaking him, must not have done it right the first time;)
I'll write about one miracle that occurred. It was Tuesday night and we had been knocking for many hours and we needed 1 more blessing to reach our goal. We knocked almost an entire apartment complex with no success, then we got to the bottom floor. We knocked and knocked but no one answered. We had been praying silently that we would be able to get one more blessing, but we finished the building and had to get biking home. On the way to the bikes we saw a guy walking through the parking lot, so we go talk with him and tell him that we are representative of Jesus Christ and that we were sent to say a prayer with him. He accepted even though he only had 1 minute. so we said the prayer and invited him to be baptized, he didn't accept but the Lord provided a way for us to achieve our goal by placing that man in our paths. It all starts with faith, that is how miracles are created!
Also my comp got sick, he was throwing up all Tuesday night, so we didn't get much sleep. Wednesday happened to be our busiest day, and we didn't think that we would be able to go out and work since my comp felt like crap so I was getting ready to cancel appts and move things around. But my comp is a trooper! he said "we can't stay inside, lets just go get me a Monster (energy drink) and get to work!" I tried to argue since first off he was still pretty sick, and secondly a monster probably isn't the best thing to drink when youre sick. But he wouldn't hear it, he's pretty stubborn, so we went and got him a monster and he worked the entire day! It was pretty impressive.
That's about all that happened this week. We will keep pushing hard this week and see a lot of success as we have faith! also austin I hope you get feeling better! It's no fun to be sick!
I love you guys!
