Awesome Week !

This last week was awesome!! Elder S and I had a good time on the streets enjoying the warm weather ( about 30 degrees F) and talking to people about the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. One interesting thing about this last Zone Leader Council was how effective the First Vision is on the street and the amount of people that stopped to talk and listen knowing that we don't have a sales pitch for them.

I have shared the first vision with people on the street before, but for some reason it seem to work better as we were on splits with the assistants to the president this last Friday. Maybe it was better due to the fact that it has become easier to just straight up be real with everyone you meet and talk to. You may get rejection but you will not be playing games to figure out the purpose of the conversation. While me and Elder B were on splits we talked to the first man we came in contact with and he was intently listening and even stated that he had never been baptized, but wants to be baptized. We invited him to be baptized and to meet with us to talk more about our church. It was a cool experience and I was taken back after he said those words.

This past week we found three new investigators and two of them live together and are super interested in why their family members joined the church and the change that took place afterwards. One man's sister lived in Vladivostok and met the missionaries and got baptized there and then got married to a member from the Philippines and now live in Texas! CRAZY!! Now we are teaching her brother and his girlfriend. They are super cool! We are excited to see some awesome miracles. The investigator who has been meeting with missionaries for about a year has made some progress and says he will be baptized and have the date picked this next meeting and our other investigator is doing well too!

Everything was going well after the assistants left, until we got on a bus down to the Church located in the center of the city. I remembered putting my wallet in my front pocket of my coat after paying for the ride and after doing so went to pay for a Super Snickers at the gas station. I reached into my coat and realized I don't have my wallet!! NICE!! We fixed the problem quickly and reflected on the safety topic that we reviewed at Zone Leader Council about theft and robbery. Вот, Как раз! Смотрите что случилось. 

Zone Leader Council was great and we are doing well in our mission and fulfilling our purpose! This week is Zone Conference and it will be in Ufa! (a very long train ride). I will upload pictures next time with those on it!
