大家好！Hello friends!
It's been an incredible week!
No friends came to church this week. Nor did we have any lessons with members. Nor did we really find any new friends. That does not diminish the truth that “God is so good,” as many are wont to say on “successful” weeks. My companion, Elder Neff, reminded me of another profound fact, that the most important things in life aren't quantifiable. The influence of character isn't something that can be measured.
So in that spirit, here are some cool people we met this week:
- Sharzi is a Persian lady I met on an exchange who asked for scriptures in Farsi. We found a Book of Mormon in Persian to give to her and bookmarked 3 Nephi 11. She texted us the most profound response ever after reading it!
- Jordan said he and his brother would be interested in coming to church! It's absolutely bonkers to me that somebody would say that after waking up from a nap, two strangers with acne, talking about strange stuff. Incredible.
- My companion got to baptize someone he taught last transfer!!! She had a very big grin on her face all day.
- A kid on a bike looked at us and exclaimed, “That's my house! What are you guys up to?” His mom answered the door, and when we asked if she wanted to learn about Jesus she said, “Ari wants to learn about Jesus, right Ari?” “Yeah!” said the kid on the bike. A few minutes later he was shushing his friend and waiting patiently for an astounded Elder Baer to give him a Book of Mormon.
- Bumped into Oscar at a big park. He was an inactive member who used to be part of the Mandarin ward! Huge miracle.
There's an epic talk called “Choose You This Day” by Dale G. Renlund that you should definitely give a read! Think about some choice that you've been making that you would like to change.
Stay cool everyone! Love you all!
