This week was a pretty exciting one. We worked pretty hard at getting to know more of the members. On Tuesday we spent some time with a couple of older sisters in the ward that are best friends. One of them gave us a ton of fabric and the other offered to teach us to sew, so we really lucked out.
The highlight of the week was when I snuggled an eight-day-old Akita mix puppy on my lap for about half an hour while we taught the Restoration to a Bible referral and her boyfriend. It was a little hard to stay focused, but oh my goodness. The puppies were so cute and fat and soft! We got to meet the momma, too (once we had put the puppies back). Also the lesson was great. We were able to clear up some misconceptions (the boyfriend thought we were a "nice cult") and teach the doctrine. We are excited to come back and see how the puppies (er... investigators) are progressing.
On Sunday we had a church open house tour. Unfortunately, not many people came... If something like that ever happens in your own area, remember, inviting people never hurt anyone! It's the members that really have the best contact with people. A person is probably more willing to accept an invitation from a friend or even acquaintance than they are from a well-dressed pair of strangers :D
It was a good week of missionary work! We are very excited to keep working with our investigators and help them toward baptism.
Love y'all! Hope to hear from you!
Love,
Sister Reay
