This past week has been a pretty good week. We have stayed pretty busy. Sunday was a great day. There is this older gentle man who is a non member that is friends with a member family in the ward. A couple months ago we had dinner with the members and this gentle man. We weren't able to have a lesson or teach anything but we started a good friend ship. The past couple weeks the members have been out of town but he has been coming to church by him self. Pretty incredible right? Well we have talked with him each Sunday but we haven't wanted to be to pushy about the gospel with him so we really haven't brought it up. He is a world traveler and has been to lots of cool places and while we were talking with him a couple weeks ago he talked about pictures that he has from a trip to Tahiti that he took. My companion being from there wanted to see the pictures but didn't want to invite ourselves over to see them. But after finding out that he was getting transferred we decided that we needed to ask him. We talked to him on Sunday about meeting with him before Elder T left and he said that he had to check his calendar and he would let us know. Yesterday he called us and let us know that his schedule was to full for Monday so he wasn't going to be able to meet up with us but he said that he wanted to meet up towards the end of the week even tho Elder T will be gone. He is great and hopefully we will start teaching him sometime this week. It is incredible how Heavenly Father is preparing His children.
On Friday Elder T was driving and we were heading to visit some members that live in an apartment complex in our area, and as we were driving there Elder T took a couple wrong turns and we ended up the wrong apartment complex. ( I wasn't giving him directions, because I wanted to see how well he knew the area.) In the complex that we ended up at there are a couple people that we have talked to on the street and they said that we could come back. There was one lady in particular that we talked that was really friendly and genuinely interested. It was about 7:45 when we were there and we here kind of hesitant to go visit her but we decided to anyway. We knocked on her door and right when she opened it she invited us in, but because of the rules we weren't able to go in. We talked on the door step for about 10 min and we set up a time to come back with another guy so we can go in. At the end of our conversation we asked if there was anything that we could do for her and she asked us if we could say a prayer so we did. We will be going back tomorrow afternoon and hopefully we will be able to teach her.
Yesterday morning Elder T and I got up really early and we went to a really good doughnut shop
That everyone loves and we bought just over a dozen doughnuts and we delivered them to each companionship in the zone as going away gift for all the missionaries getting transferred. It was really awesome. Everyone was shocked when we showed up at their door. It was really awesome. Everyone loved them. It is always great to be able to show the missionaries how grateful we are for them and their hard work. We have great missionaries in our zone!
I Love You! Have a great week!
Love, Elder RINDLISBACHER
