I cannot say enough how much I love this gospel and the Chance I have to share it with people that I love instantly. This last week was so cool. We worked so hard and were being really diligent and trying our best, yet everything seemed to be going wrong. Its a real downer when you work so hard all day and you go to write down what you have done in the day and nothing that is counted really looks good. So Sunday we were worn out, and I was quite honestly ready to quit, but I signed up for this and its going to last a lot longer so I had to revamp myself. I had been praying so hard that someone would show up. Someone who was ready to hear the gospel who would appreciate this amazing things that we are sharing. So here is when the miracles come in :) :) :) I literally yelled and screamed when We got the phone call(s).
First after church we were sitting there just thinking about how we could get the work to move forward in one of the wards we cover I was praying, and my companion had just finished. Then the phone rings. The bishop was calling to let us know that Chea, who had been going to church for the past month asked him how to become a member of the church. It was what we had worked for all week long!! Chea is amazing, His aunt came with us to the Lesson and she just kept saying This is not the same guy he was a year ago. Its amazing to see that God prepares his people, then as missionaries we just come in and show them the tools that will continue to enrich their lives. So we went and Taught him and he is planning to get Baptized the first week of August! I love that he is so prepared, he loves and respects this gospel!
So as we were driving up to Chea's, its about a half hour drive. We got another phone call that another guy in a different ward wanted to take the lessons. We have been secretly working on him through his sister for months, well the missionaries. And he is finally ready. I think the biggest thing I have to realize while I am here is that change takes time. And these people will change when the Lord knows and shows them how. We are literally just here to guide them. It is so amazing to see their love for the gospel grow as we show them how to develop that.
So anyways this place is amazing. I serve in Central point and Gold hill. Gold Hill is a very small town, houses every 1/2 mile or so. And Central point is just a small town. Its so beautiful here!!
The funniest thing that happened this week. So me and my companion got in a fight, first fight. It was awkward we fought, prayed went to the investigators door, who didn't answer and then got back in the car. It was silent because our music is getting copied right now... So awkward. Then this car turns the corner, don't worry all windows up except the windshield. He didn't have a windshield and he looked at us looking at him like "what is wrong with you" I am sorry sir I was a little taken back by the missing windshield. We both tried to hold our laughing in but it didn't work, and our problems were solved.
So today we went up to crater Lake, It was way fun. We just got word that we will be headed up to Eugene on Wednesday so that 3 hour drive should be interesting. Then I will be going on exchanges with the Merlin sisters that night so I wont be in Central point till Friday. Its kinda fun getting out of this area.
So in a week and a half I have the responsibility to take over this area. My companion goes home. It is a little stressful so all the prayers in the world would be welcome!!
I am going to attach some pictures now. I love you all!!
Peace and Blessings
