An Episode from THE DISTRICT

 

This week on the district (missionary joke) was great. The best week of my mission so far. We had an awesome Leadership training with the mission president last week in Truro which put the whole mission on track to work their butts off and its working magic. Our investigators we started teaching a week and a half ago (I mentioned them in last weeks email) are progressing like crazy. Matthew,(26) stopped smoking Electric cigarettes a few days ago, he has born his testimony at least four times to us and to his friends/family. Yesterday we had a lesson with them where he invited one of his brothers to come over with his family, we started teaching them and today we will be teaching both matthew and his brothers family at the same time. But that's not all. He called his other brother during the lesson and said "just talk to him" and I spoke with his other brother on the phone. SO a possibility of three investigator families all together to hear one lesson tonight at 6:30!!! Its going to be great:)

Matthew testified yesterday about prayer to his sister in law, she asked how to know if its true and he said, "Ashley, you just pray and ask, you only have to do it once." It was awesome. Another lesson earlier this week we had at the church and he told us how different he feels while he is here. Later that same lesson he told us he knows the Book of Mormon is true! BUT THATS NOT ALL! A lesson a few days before that he really surprised us.. just out of the blue he said, "That Joseph Smith guy, he is an idiot. He let himself die for the church. There is no way that guy isn't in the celestial kingdom! Gosh he is so great!" And he just went off for 5 minutes (exaggerated). It was awesome. The first part of the Joseph Smith one surprised us a bit.. but after man oh man. He also accepted the invitation to be baptized. But we have to get him married first:) which isn't a problem he has been with her (Megan) for 7 years and they have 3 kids. They want to get married as well, just a matter of planning:)
