Funny: we met a family who was very nice and very interested.
Except the dad, he was very drunk. We were talking about the Plan of Salvation
and we asked them how they felt about what we had talked about. The rest of the
family seemed very accepting and really liked it. The dad told us that he
didn't like it because he doesn't believe there are any Walmart’s in heaven. It
was not really funny that a drunk guy said it but the funny part was that the
rest of the family started agreeing. They told us that Walmart is more of a
part of their culture and traditions than it is a store.
Spiritual: we had a flurry of miracles on Wednesday. It being the day after new year's we had heard that no one was going to be home or sober enough to really want to listen. We split and went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders so I was with Elder Longhurst and we decided to increase our faith and see the miracles. We prayed hard and worked even harder to find new people to teach and the Lord answered our prayers plentifully. We found 4 new people but what was a amazing was how we found them. Our schedule was barren and every time we didn't have anywhere to be we would say a prayer then try to feel where the spirit would have us go. Sometimes we would have a name pop into our minds and other times that person would call us and ask if we could come by. We ended up having a very busy day.
Where I am at: We have had an incredible week. The Lord is hastening His work down here and we are so happy to be a part of it. We met some really great people and are really hopeful to have a lot of baptisms in the next few months. We finally have a few weeks of straight missionary work ahead of us. It will be nice to work hard without very many distractions.
Love y'all
