Hey everyone! Another great week here in Loomis. We had a couple of
pretty great experiences this week. We were able to set a baptismal date
for the second week in May, with an 18 year old girl who is planning on
attending BYU-I with one of her friends that is a member. She is great
and things are moving forward with her.
The other experience is a great one. One of those ones you hear every
time you go to a welcome home for a missionary. Last night we had an
open house for the Stake at our church building. Our responsibility was
to set out proselyting literature and to welcome people in. Especially
the non-members of course. But we had an extra set of missionaries, due
to the Spanish elders coming for a Puerto Rican family that didn't come.
So Elder Livingston and I went out to talk to some people that were
walking on the street near the church. They ran away, but we opted to
knock on some of the doors near by and invite them to come. No one was
interested. It was time to start, so we were headed on our way back and
outside of the church there were two young men standing and talking,
wearing jeans and a t-shirt. We asked them if they were there for the
open house, they said yes, but felt that they were underdressed. We
invited them to come back in, although underdressed, saying that the
singing part that they were they for to support their friend was about
to start. After a bit more talking they agreed and we walked in, sat in
the back, and enjoyed the performance.
After the performance we talked
to them briefly, and they agreed to hear the lessons. They don't live in
our area, but they are looking forward to meeting the missionaries in
Rocklin. Miracles are everywhere in missionary work!
Things are going great. I can't complain. I love you all and have a great week!
