Alright for Tonight

I had a great week this week. We had several more miracles.

The first was that the Allred Family was able to come to church again for the second week in a row. The dad was able to come this time as well. We were able to teach them yesterday with the Elders Quorum President. They are planning on having their 10 year old son baptized in November when they go back to Utah for Thanksgiving.

The Second was we were able to find a Less active family via a media referral. They are off of the Directory, but they just decided to return to church as a family. We taught them with Brother Smeaton. She had been going to the Mennonite church. They also have an exchange student from Thailand. She doesn't have any testimony of the Book of Mormon, but we read the introduction with her, and she has already started reading on her own, and told us so.

The Third is Brother Bundy. He is the Father of one of our recent converts. His Family hasn't come to church since December, but he told us earlier today that he just sold more than half of his bread route, so his work load will decrease from 80 Hours to around 30. He is planning to return to church. This is a great blessing.

The Fourth is I was able to have a good talk with Elder Stojka and understand more of who he is, and the struggle he has been having with his mission. He is progressing.

The District is also progressing nicely. Every Week nearly every key indicator category is increasing, and the missionaries are all growing tremendously. This week we focused on asking for referrals as a district, and our finding exploded as a result.

I went on an exchange with Elder Matienzo to Reedley. It is always fun to be on exchange. We visited a former that I had taught back in October. 

Last Monday while we were doing our shopping at Walmart and someone asked us if we could move their shed. We said, sure, what time? 

We were able to move it for them, and set up an appointment to teach them and their brother who has been struggling.

We were going to contact a potential investigator with Brother Smeaton, and a lady started to talk to us. I felt prompted to talk to her about family history, and it was very effective. We were able to teach her a little, and set up a time to meet with her again tomorrow.

Jonathan Meza was also able to come to church again. Sister Bolin has also been coming.
