Glad you got the pics and i hope you enjoy them! Just a short one today! hope you will forgive me!
We have been getting so much rain here! sometimes we are so wet at lunch we come take our clothes off and put them in front of the fan to dry and talking off my pants feels like im taking off a swimming suit! Ive never seen rain some so fast and hard before. In like 5 days they got over 6 inches....and they saw these are just scattered showers! i cant wait for an actual storm!
Today i want to tell you about a new investigator we have!...His name is Ray. This guy is something else! he is 60 years old and addicted to Heroin for more than 20 of those years, im not sure how long it really is but from what i stand its at least 20. We knocked on his door one day and he just told us to go away. about a month later we were contacting a lady in street near his house and he walked by and as he walked by he said "hey guys you got a minute i want to talk" So we went and talked with im for a little and this visit he just told us how he wanted to change and knew we could help him. We left him with a restoration pamphlet and set up a next visit. we went back for the next visit and he said we would have to reschedule because his nephew came over, and he also said how he answered all the questions i the back of the pamphlet but need a book of Mormon to answer some of them.... no one ever answers them! but so we went back the third time. He asked for another book of mormon....he said he was sharing it with his nephew and ended up giving it away!...then in the middle of our lesson he stopped because a man he knew was walking by and he ran to the street and invited him to come listen. The man said no but when he came back he said "sorry i just want everyone to hear this message cuz i know everyone needs to be saved!" all really cool experiences but the coolest was when he was telling us about his addiction and how his heavenly father is disappointed in him and he broke down. It was a pretty dang touching moment! i know this message can help him change. Heroin addict who has been the rehab so many times already. Wants to change. Sounds like a perfect investigator to me!
Im loving the work and loving finding people like that who need this message so much! The work is awesome! Thats so sweet kelly gave a book of mormon away too! tell everyone hello and that i love them! Ill give a bonus point to the first person who gives a book of mormon away to a non member AND commits them to read it!
Trivia wise dad got the answer!!---keep track of your own score cuz i lost count. haha
this week question:
this week in my personal study i read about an animal in the book of mormon that was kinda like my hair, and flying when it shouldnt be. And you would never find them in Hawaii!
Best of luck!
Love you all!
con amor y respeto!
