Check this out,
So a while ago, we had the idea to hold a "Bring Your Friend
to Church" day.
We went into the Primary and I told the story of Derek
Funkes and how Jace helped him be introduced to the church and now he's not
only baptized, but on a mission! We challenged them to think of friends that
they can invite to church and we would bring them and their friends candy if
they come. Yesterday was that day, and we were amazed at how much of a success
it was! Our goal is to teach families, and every kid is part of a family, so we
thought if we can get more kids to church, we can teach more families! It
worked like a charm. We're hoping to add a few of them as investigators in the
next couple weeks.
In other news, this weekend we had a
"Mini-Missionary" with us! He stayed with us from Friday night till
Sunday night. Basically just spent the weekend as a missionary. He's 13 years
old, he lives in the Tongan Stake of San Mateo, and he's awesome! He helped us
tract, taught a couple lessons with us, studied and worked like a missionary
and was even willing to eat ramen and macaroni for like 3 days straight. He
liked it a lot.
^^as a "Thank-You" his mom gave us these homemade
Tongan Leis when we met her Sunday night. She had tears in her eyes and was
super grateful for us. It was all very heart warming. I felt really close to
the kid! I got his address and phone number, and I'd be happy to keep in touch
with them. :) Heres some pics.
Other than that, it was a pretty standard week. Things are
going great. We're preparing a lady for baptism in the next few weeks. If
everything goes well, she'll be baptized on May 29th. *Sonia
Love you all!
