Week Two (Week 2 In The Field)

This week has been our most successful week so far! We visited a bunch of less actives as usual, and then invited them to the Halloween party. A couple of them accepted our invite so hopefully they will be fellowshipped and want to come back to church. 

One of the less actives we went to go visit moved out, and an older black man answered the door. We told him who we are and told him about the message we had to share and asked if he was interested. He said he was and he invited us into his home! We shared an hour long message with him about the restoration and how we now have the priesthood authority as well as prophets and apostles here on this earth today. His name is Curtis Windham. 

We gave him a book of Mormon and committed him to read and pray about it. He said he would like to, however he lost his glasses and is pretty much blind without them. :/ So we asked him if we could come back tomorrow and read with him a couple chapters, and he said we could.  By the way, he lost his leg from diabetes, and he also has to have both kidneys transplanted. So I guess you could say he's going through a rough time in his life. Anyways, we went back the next day and read 1st and 2nd Nephi with him. He really enjoyed what we read with him, and afterwards we committed him to pray about it that night and ask if what we taught him is true. 

Our next appointment with him will be Thursday, so we will follow up with him then and hopefully he did what we asked him to do. :) He also told us he would come to church as well so he is really progressing! 

Anyways, this week went by so fast, probably because of all the set appointments we had as well as the success. I am absolutely loving it here.  Everybody in the ward here is super nice and feed us every dinner. I'm still getting along with my companion very well and learning a lot from him. My testimony of this church has grown exponentially, and every day I get a firm confirmation of its truthfulness. :) 

I hope everybody back home is doing well and not missing me to much ;) I hit my month mark in 4 days, so only 23 more months to go. I'm sure it will go by fast! 

Love you all and have a good rest of the week! :)


***ADDED BY DARREN - Elder Greer was very happy about getting to drive a new car in his first area, so much so that he sent these pictures to us.  Thought we'd share :)
