We
picked up 4 incredible new investigators this week! They're all college
students and all so excited to learn about the gospel! Two of them were
found because of the "What Makes You Happy?" project. Miracles!
One
of them is named Austin and he is just the COOLEST. He is SO open to
the truth. He has explored religions his entire life. He told us all the
aspects he's picked out of world religions that he's liked and with
which he's resonated. Guess what. ALL those aspects are found in one
place in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! He loved the
history of the Restoration and wants to get baptized. He is HILARIOUS.
We asked him to pray about the things we'd discussed and said, "If you
came to know for yourself that these things are true, would you be
baptized?" and he replied, "Yeah I would! I would slam DUNK myself!" It
was so funny! He's the best. He came to General Conference and loved it.
So prepared!!
Another
new friend of ours we started meeting with this week is Cody! He is WAY
cool. He has braids/dreads and is super classy. He's the most
spiritual, down-to-earth college student ever! He has a twin brother and
they just go out into nature and play guitar and have discussions about
God. We taught Cody about Joseph Smith's first vision and he said, "Oh,
I totally believe that happened. I believe he could have absolutely
seen God." He is incredible!
We also had
dinner at a sorority house this week! We go there often (PHI MU!)
because there are a couple investigators and a less-active member in
that sorority. One thing I have learned is that sororities are just like
the movies. It's hilarious. All the girls are super nice to us, though!
For dessert, we ate ice cream out of the carton with spoons. YES. It
was awesome.
GENERAL CONFERENCE WAS THIS WEEK! HOW AWESOME WAS THAT?!?!? SO AWESOME.
I
loved how everyone was encouraged to read Preach My Gospel, so to help
with that, I'm posting a link to the online version of PMG here! It's so
good! A+, much recommended, everyone read pls.
I love you all and miss you! Have a lovely week!
