I am currently having a blast in Mint Canyon! We just had another week full of miracles! We decided to go stop by some of the less-active members of our ward this week just to see how they were doing, and to see if there was any way that we could help them out.
We noticed that one of the addresses was in the apartment complex that we live in! We stopped by and when the lady opened the door she was overjoyed to see us and promptly invited us inside! We shared a video with her about faith and she invited us to please come back and share a message with her son and his non-member girlfriend! Every morning when we go to exercise, we see her walking her dog and she happily waves to us! She has not been to church in a while and doesn't want ward members over, but she is very open to meeting with us!
We stopped by another family who's dad is not a member. They were glad to see us and invited us in to share a short message with them! Later they gave us a ton of food to take home and thanked us for reminding them how important it is to have the spirit in their home and to go to church!
We stopped by a former investigator named Lori. She was so happy to see us and she still reads the Book of Mormon! We had a beautiful discussion with her about faith and the Book of Mormon and how God answer questions and she wants to have lessons again!
During knock out we found an amazing lady named Allison. She invited us back for another discussion and she has accepted to be baptized in March!!! She cannot wait to go to church!! We have a church tour planned with her this week!
We were trying to find a former investigator's house, but we soon found out that the address had been written wrong in our area book. We knew we needed to be on that street, but we just could not figure out why. We keep walking down the street looking for an address that might be similar to our formers when I noticed a young man sitting in a stair well. We started talking to him (Eddy) and he told us that he was looking for a church! We shared a little bit about what we believe and got a return appointment with him!
I just love being a missionary! It is so cool to be able to see the gospel change peoples' lives! I just know that there is so much power in the Book of Mormon and that following the promptings of the spirit is so vital!
I love you all!!
Love, Sister Howard
