Finding with a dog = great contact!!

Hi everyone!

 

I had a really awesome week! We had an interesting experience we were contacting a referral that we got and all of the sudden this dog comes up to us. So we looked around to try and figure out who he belongs to. We decided to use finding its owner as an icebreaker while we were knocking on doors. We had no luck finding anyone or the dogs owner. We were just going to leave the dog when all of the sudden this lady comes up to us and told us that the dog wasn't going to leave us alone. She told us that when she lived in Mexico her job was to find homes for lost pets. So she helped us find a place to put the dog and then we got talking with her and she said for us to come back the next day! So we did and we thought she was single but when we called her husband answered. He said they could still do the appointment. We taught them an amazing restoration lesson and the spirit was so strong! We invited them to be baptized and they said yes! Oh and get this they said they would come to church on Sunday but all Latinos say yes just to not look bad. But we confirmed with them Saturday night and Sunday and then they came to church! It was awesome!! 

 

So with the Relief Society activity we had last week our area didn't get any referrals but there were a lot for some of the other areas and so that's OK. 

 

I didn't teach the English class this week because we taught the family. We may have to drop our sister investigator because she still cancels all the time and hasn't been to church. The brother that we are working with came to church with us. Things are looking good for his baptism November 24th! We are going to baptize monthly now I am so excited! :-) 

 

On Thanksgiving we will be playing soccer and eating a TON of food! It will be good though and I always look forward to spending time with members and making good contacts when we play soccer!  

 

Also this week we had to speak on Sunday. Every second Sunday they want the missionaries to give a talk. Well nobody was assigned so they said OK now it's time for the missionaries to speak and nobody went up. Then they said missionaries? So I got up with Elder Nielsen and said some words. I had no idea what to say so I really had to be guided by the spirit. Hopefully it was good! Haha anyways I hope you all have a great week!
