9/8/14

This week we were able to so some incredible progress in our area. We decided to skip dinner and just work last Monday. We weren't quite sure what to do because our plans fell through but just then we received a referral from Oregon for a family who lived in our area so we visited them. The mom wasn't home but we talked to the 14 and 8 year old daughters who were super receptive and made a return appointment for Saturday. We decided we were going to work on our member present lessons so we invited a lady in our ward who showed up with her friend. They were so excited to teach that they took 10 to 15 minutes each to share their conversion story and testimony. Marichuy ended up getting bits and pieces of tithing, baptisms for the dead, priesthood, and the plan of salvation with her lesson as well as a very detailed explanation of our beliefs about the Virgin Mary but through all of the chaos of words the spirit was super strong and both her daughter and her accepted to make a return appointment for next week.
We also met the coolest Chinese man walking down the street with a purple pumpkin Halloween bucket. I had to explain what Halloween was and he said "...so kids come knock on my door and I have to give them candy?" I thought about how silly it sounded but I am still super excited because tons of people will be out and we'll be passing mormon.org cards haha!
Ran our of time today but I love you all lots,
I would really appreciate if you could all share with me your conversion story, even if you are a life long member of the church, please share how you came to gain your own testimony. 
My sister will put my mailing address on facebook and on the blog.
Lots of love,
