Well this week really ended off nicely but we'll start from the top. We had Zone Conference on Thursday. It was so nice to not have to plan anything and just be able to show up and enjoy all the trainings and such. There was a lot of talk about how this is the Lord's work and our efforts will be sanctified by Him. It helped me a lot to have that reminder and gained some more motivation back. Later that night we were tracting and we were up on the side of a hill with some real nice homes. So naturally almost everyone said no but one of the last doors we knock on this HUGE giant comes and opens the door. He had long braided hair and his arms were gigantic, you could easily say he was large in stature. We stumble through a door approach and he said he might be interested. So we got his phone number and then we asked for his name and his name is Lemuel! He has got to be a direct desendent from the one and only Book of Mormon villan. The cherry on t...
Well obviously the biggest highlight of the week was general conference. Pretty exciting stuff! Something else that went well was a little trip to froyoland with David. We swung by Saturday night and he was pulling out when we got to his house so he asked if we wanted to go with him to get some froyo. Absolutely! So we got in and he drove us up to the south part of Pomona (the ghetto). So we arrive and as we are walking to the shop we hear a gunshot in the gas station across the way a bit. No one even noticed, good times. Then we got back to his home and talked about goals and making plans to achieve those goals so now he's on date to be baptized on November 10th. He still needs to quit smoking so prayers for that. But all in all we're glad he's coming along. The next day he showed up at the church for both sessions of Sunday conference so yay! Sadly not too much to share this week. Hopefully everyone had a good conference weekend and y'all had some good tak...
So last night we were mobbin around the hood trying to catch some of our investigators and potential investigators at home so we could teach them repentance and while we were thinking about where to go while stopped at a stop sign I catch a glimpse of a pair of tail lights. It took me a second to register what vehicle it was so about half way through the intersection it clicks and I tell Elder Nordgren, "That's a FERRARI" and I crank the wheel to the right and speed off towards the direction that it was heading. "But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance." (1 Ne. 1:20) In other news, this week we had a lesson with our investigator Dave. We have two investigators named Dave so we call this one groovy Dave. His vocabulary is hilarious and consists of things like: "Well I'll be darned" "...
