Last Monday after we got home from the hour drive to Mishawaka we all decided we wanted to grill some chicken on the new grill Elder Barbosa bought. And so that is what we did:) The chicken was all good and tasty... except a few minutes later as we were enjoying the chicken we get a knock at the door. It was the neighbors telling us the dumpster was smoking! Apparently on of the four missionaries who were there, me, Elder Stallings, Barbosa, and Ahlstrom, had thrown the hot coals we used into the dumpster not thinking anything of it hahahah! I wont name names of who did it but lets just say 5 fire trucks and 2 cop cars later the fire was out. What an adventure! It wasn't as bad as it sounds mom:)
In the zone meeting we had this week President wanted us to stress how important it is to get back to the basics! It is all about Preach My Gospel and the scriptures. In one of Elder Bednars talks that I listened to he said, "The difference between the skilled and the unskilled are the fundamentals." The principle is simple and true for anything in life. Even prophets of old understood this! Alma 37:6.
This weekend we had some great miracles. One of which is that our investigators attended church with us! Yesterday after church we decided to stop by a lady we helped move a few weeks back. As all 4 of us knocked on the door I realized it was the wrong apartment! Elder Ahlstrom and I luckily slipped away before the door opened. We kept walking on and found the lady we moved walking her dogs. We had a great talk and she told us she has a very nice neighbor that she thinks we could meet. We went and knocked on his door and when he opened up he immediately let us in. Omar is the coolest guy ever! He has had a hard life and was so prepared. While we were sitting on his couch talking we hear another knock at the door. It was Elder Stallings and Barbosa, they were tracting hah! He invited them in as well and we had a big gospel discussion for an hour. The work is speeding up around here!
Maggie is still working towards her baptism in a few weeks. She has read the Book of Mormon 2 times in the last 3 weeks! She soaks everything up like a sponge.
We found a man named Akeem the other day. His wife was a bit standoff-ish but as we got talking both of them opened up. Apparently she had some misconceptions about the church and after we cleared them up they were very friendly. They just had their 3th baby boy and their goal is to have their own basketball team ha. Their sons are going to be big!
The other day while we were tracting we could hear thunder storms above us and knew it was about to rain haaard. We prayed that it wouldn't rain on us and we kept going. Sure enough the second we sat down in our car, it came dooown!! The rain storms here are so cool, but not when you get stuck in them!
Oh and btw, "There will be no hard feelings in heaven"
God speed :)
