We've had another really long week of knocking on tons and
tons of doors haha. It was good though. Thats basically just what we've been
doing a lot lately. We are trying to find new people to teach. We found tons
but most weren't interested so we stopped visiting them.
Oliva, who is getting baptized soon (shes 62) told us her
family (her kids especially) have told her basically that they don't want
anything to do for her if she joins our church, to the extent that her youngest
son was like. my birthday is tomorrow and youre not invited to the party. and
he literally lives right next door. So that was really sad and very dramatic of
her family. She wants to change and be better and they are content with wasting
away their lives. She told us She met some missionaries in our church several
years ago in california and she always has known she needed to get baptized in
our church since then so that was super cool. She told us she is going to get
baptized anyways and that its sad they will do that but she knows its the right
thing. We also read Matthew 19:29 with her which comforted her some. Shes
awesome. It was really inspiring to hear how strong her faith is and her
courage.
Then there is Melo, that guy we started teaching alst week
he is also super solid. He asked us to get baptized and will be getting
baptized on Nov. 12th. I dont think i've ever met someone that wasnt a member
that really realized just how important our message is. Its pretty cool to see.
Every time we teach him he is like WOWWWW is that right am i understanding this
correctly? when he started reading the BOM and we told him its a story of his
ancestors (he's from mexico and is a native down there) he told us hes always
heard stories about what were in the Book Of Mormon and how he knew it as true. so that was
pretty sweet lol. he also has been sharing what hes learned with his friends
and calling his family in mexico to read the Book of Mormon with them.
'Also we had a nice suprise this past week. Some missionaries
here in Elko texted me calling me by my first name and said that Tyler Cody,
someone ive been friends with basically my whole life, had ran into them (hes
here selling alarm systems) and they said what mission they were in and he
asked if they knew elder quinton and they were like. yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hes here
in Elko. So that was cool.
