Hola mi familia y amigos,
Week three in Mint Canyon has been a blast!!!
Sister Smullin and I had a special fast for our area, and within minutes we started to see all of the blessing and tender mercies come poring in.
Allison, our amazing investigator, came to church this week and stayed for all three hours! Then she sent us a text after church and asked if she could please come back next week! She said that we have good morals and she wants to raise her baby in the church's atmosphere!!! She has been faithfully reading the Book of Mormon and she is loving the missionary discussions! It is so cool to see her excitement in learning more and wanting to be better!
Victor is another really cool story. Sister Smullin and Sister Johnson were knocking in our area, on exchanges, and they ran into Victor. Victor was so not interested in the church, but they managed to share a scripture with him just before he slammed the door in their faces..... later on in the week we were doing some work in that area and he stopped us in the middle of the street, gave us his address, and begged us to come over because he needed to feel God in his life. We stopped by and he wasn't home, but we ended up sharing a little bit with his roommate and giving him our number.
Sunday we get a call from Victor, and he is just heart broken that he missed us and that he missed church! He wants to feel peace in his life and because he had a Mormon friend in high school, he knows that talking to us is the way for him to finally be able to feel that peace. We meet with him and gave him a Book of Mormon, which he is so excited to read!! We have another appointment this week with him and he has promised to come to church!!
We also found a young boy named Isaiah while we were knocking doors this week! We introduced the Book of Mormon to him and promised him that if he just opened up the book and read the first thing that he saw, that it would relate to him and help him to feel Gods' love. He opened it, read the first thing he saw, and LOVED IT!!!!! He loves Jesus Christ and happily took a Book of Mormon! HE WANTS to learn more!! We have another appointment with him this week and he is so excited!
It is so amazing how powerful the Book of Mormon is and how much the Spirit of God can bring into our hearts and our lives!!!
Love, Sister Howard
