Hey people! Wassup! It's been a great week! We found 3 insanely promising people!
First was John. He was a Book of Mormon and Bible referral so we delivered those to him and talked with him and he said he knew our ward mission leader! So we came back with our ward mission leader and had a great lesson! Our ward mission leader can talk forever so it was an interesting lesson and we covered way too much stuff for a first lesson. Basically we taught the whole plan of salvation and half of the restoration and half of the gospel of jesus christ with some commandments in there! It was so much! But John seemed to really love everything so it worked out. He wasn't able to come to church though so hopefully we can get him to come next week.
Second was Alvin. He was a referral from a member that went out with us one night. His name is brother Peterson and he is super smart with doctrine and everything so it's fun listening to him teach because he is just super straight forward about everything and just about any doubts or questions people have he resolves them! Anyway we go to Alvin's house and him and brother Peterson talked for a long time then we started teaching and brother Peterson talked basically the whole time and got him committed to reading the Book of Mormon and go to church and basically be baptized! We didn't set a date but he wants to he just needs to talk with his girlfriend who seems like she might get in the way for him so we'll have to help him with that.
Third was Larry who we ran into biking one day. He's a black Australian and has a sweet accent! We actually had our first lesson with him last night and just taught the restoration and he loved it but said that he can only know what we are saying is true if God let's him know and we said that's exactly what needs to happen because God knows all things so we invited him to read and pray to know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and he agreed. He made us so happy because he already knows what he has to do to progress right now and he is super sincere about it so we are super excited! He also said that he is going to do all he can do to get him and his wife to church next Sunday!
Palatka gets better and better each day! We are finally starting to get a good teaching poole going! So far most people down here love God and love everything we say to them they just aren't committed to do anything so we are really working hard on getting members to help us out with that so hopefully we can finally start getting people to church and to really start progressing.
I love you all a ton and appreciate all the prayers so much! Y'all are always in my prayers! Keep on keepin on!
Love,
