Finding GOLD!

Hey everyone!! Hope the week has been good to all of you. This week was really good for us! My birthday week, so we had to make it good. We did a ton of finding, and we found 14 new people to teach! The mission has been really pressing for at least 1 new potential a day, and we were able to double that this week. We saw so many miracles. I'll talk about a few of the people who are golden!!

So we tracted some of the apartment complexes in our area, and knocked into this family that just moved here from Rwanda. They all speak decent English, but mostly french. There's the mom, 2 sons, and 2 daughters, and they're all 9 and older, so baptism age! The 2 sons, the mom, and the oldest daughter were all soaking in the message of the restoration. Like this is what they've been looking for. So, we have had 2 brief lessons with them and hope to have more this week! Such an amazing family! God is definitely preparing his children for the gospel.

Something else that I almost forgot to mention, Honorine (the mom) asked us why people call us Mormons. After explaining it to her, and expressed how the church's real name is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" she said something along the lines of "how dare they try to give you a nickname and take Christ's name out of it." we were so amazed by that! Even someone not of our faith, and hasn't really heard of the church, can see that it's all about him, and sometimes we lose sight of that.

I also got to go on an exchange this week with Elder Bean! He came to my area with me and it was a good day. Can't remember what happened but whatever!

With 28 wards, it means lots of christmas parties. So we have have been going to as many as possible to try and meet new people and talk to the non members that come. It was fun!!

That's really all I have this week. I love you all, have a great week!!
