This week has been wonderful and weird at the same time. Definitely a memorable week--for many reasons.
Tuesday we has a wonderful zone conference and learned about the Restoration and the importance of the Book of Mormon in conversion. We learned some great things.
Wednesday we has a great time on exchanges with our sister training leaders in a neighboring city--while I was with Sister Fisher we found a family to teach. That's a story in itself!
Thursday after our morning study, I was walking past our bedroom, when I noticed a dark spot on one wall. I walked over to investigate. It was a bug. A bedbug. After flushing said bug to a watery grave, Sister Driesel and I turned our apartment upside down. We snagged someprometherin (anti-bug spray) and de-bugged the apartment. We're pretty sure that bug was our only one (it probably came in with us from our exchanges in the other sisters' area). Anyway, it gave us quite a scare. Eeek. *shudder*
On the very same day we received a media referral. His name is Giovanni and he's 15. He first heard about the church when someone on TV was mocking the Latter-day Saints, and he said to himself, "That's not right". He's noticed people around him seem to only bash other religions. He later came across a Mormon channel video, and the Church Facebook page. He liked it. In fact, after reading some on Mormon.org and lds.org, he said to his mom, "I'm thinking about becoming Mormon, would that be okay?" His mom said she was fine with that, since she allows her children to make their own religious choices. "Freedom of religion" she said. We visited with Giovanni for 20 minutes or so yesterday afternoon, and set up an appointment to come back. Finding Giovanni was such a tender mercy, he is just SO ready for the gospel. I am excited (beyond words) to teach him. I know that Heavenly Father is preparing people to accept the gospel! I love this work. I love this area. I'm so happy!
:) I love you all! Stay safe and happy!
