Our investigators are doing well! Hopefully, Peter (Commited to be baptized on the 26th of April) will make his date. He won't keep his commitments and its really frustrating but we had a really good lesson with him yesterday. We taught Tisha and Naomi (Mom and Daughter) on Thursday night with Sister Banks (an amazing member) and invited them to be baptized! It was amazing. Naomi (The daughter) said she had already been baptized catholic and Tisha explained to her that we werent asking her to be baptized right away, and that they had time to think about it. They both are going to be baptized I know it.
Yesterday afternoon, we were in Angwin and we felt prompted to go visit a former investigator. We knocked on his door and started talking with him, and then ended up teaching a doorstep lesson to him!!! He asked us to come back on Thursday. It was so amazing. The spirit was so strong!
Yesterday night, we had an amazing Power Hour with some members, Brother and Sister Edward.(Power Hour is when we ask a member family to keep us in their thoughts and prayers for the hour and we go and teach or contact and AMAZING miracles happen when we do it!) We went contacting and found some super awesome people. We talked to this older couple who are Jewish. They had a ton of questions and asked a lot about temples. They weren't really interested but they had a bunch of questions. Sister Decker and I answered all of their questions and It was a really awesome experience. We talked to them for about 20 minutes. Then, about 3 minutes later we contacted this man and woman sitting on a bench. The woman was so interested in the Book of Mormon and we gave her a run down on the whole story. It was so cool. We talked to another woman about family history and she asked about the family search website and she asked how much it cost to use it. When we told her it was free, her eyes lit up! It was amazing. When we returned and reported, the Ellis' were so excited to hear about it. It was all around an amazing power hour.
Our members are amazing. They feed us almost every night. They are so loving and so helpful. They are really getting into the spirit of missionary work, which is so good because this branch really needs it. I love the people here. The members are so helpful and loving and make me feel right at home. Me and Sister Decker got our first 20-3-1 on Friday! (20 contacts. 3 lessons. 1 Baptismal invite) It was the greatest feeling ever knowing that we finally got it. We definitely have been working harder for it every day.
The missionary work is the best. I love it so so much and I love how hard it is. I can feel myself becoming stronger everyday. Its the best. I really love how much support I have. Im grateful for all of you guys and love you so so much! Be member missionaries, because even though your ward may not seem to be in need of more members, it is! Feed the missionaries because they need it! I such faith that if members strive to be missionaries they will be so so blessed! The branch here wouldn't grow at all if it weren't for the members. so become member missionaries because it is so so so important. You da best. Love you so so much!
