Good morning y'all!!
This week started with an amazing lesson with Jeremy. He
reached out to us a couple weeks back but then he switched phones and we could
never get a hold of him. But we finally get his number from a sister in the
ward that knows him and head over to his place this week. It was one of the
best lessons I've ever been a part of. Not because of anything we said or did,
we said nothing super special and powerful but we all felt something super
special and powerful. It was Jeremy's humility and desire for change that
allowed the Spirit to be there so strongly. He held a Book of Mormon in his
hands as we testified of eternal families and he whispered through tears,
"this is was I need, this is what I need". I love Jeremy!
Then we topped off the whole thing when Elder Richards and I
stopped by the only(and brand new) Whataburger in Alexandria and all of Central
Louisiana for that matter. That Honey Buttter Chicken Strip Sandwich on Texas
Toast hit the spot.
On Saturday we did a booth with the sisters at the mall. We
had Bibles, Book of Mormons, Jesus pictures, pamphlets etc. We stood and sat
there for 4 hours talking to people about Jesus, we gave away so much stuff(all
with our number on it hehe). The best part wasn't even the booth it was the two
people we met on the way to the bathroom. I just needed to go and we were
stopped by two different guys that want to meet with us! We love Fred and
Michael!
Then that night Elder Richards' dad, the wonderful Gary
Richards wanted to sponsor us and pay for our meal. So we go to Buffalo Wild
Wings. Miracles happen when you carry a Book of Mormon in hand fellas. We walk
in there and our waitress was like "I was fixin to grab the drink menu but
then I saw y'alls Book of Mormon, right this way boys" then we chat about
the gospel for a good but with her. Then later another guy comes up and thanks
us, he served a mission long ago and said he has tons of respect for us. He
didn't give his name because he didn't want nothing to do with the Church no
more, but came and expressed his love and respect for missionaries. We go ask
for the check a while later and turns out that this man paid for all our wings!
We love that guy! I just pray for him and hope that we and the Spirit reminded
him of what his mission was like.
That's all folks! Have a blessed week!
