I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day! Because I know that I did! It was so great to be able to talk to my family! Especially since everyone is so spread out throughout the world right now it made it even better that were able to reunite once again. You guys are the best!
Well, once again, Bob came to church! But also once again, he missed Sacrament. It's been pretty frustrating with Bob. We've been doing all that we can for him and he's still not able to make it on time. And he's so ready! He has such a strong testimony of this gospel and of the Book of Mormon. So we're just really praying that he will be able to use that strong testimony to enable him to act. Otherwise we'll have to drop him--which would be so hard! So please keep him in your prayers.
We witnessed a truly amazing miracle this week with one of out investigators. About a month ago we met this one guy named Steve. We were out with a member and our appointment fell through. So the member just took us around to people he knew! We went to this one house and he remembered going there with the missionaries to meet a guy named Isaac. Instead Steve answered the door and told us that Isaac didn't live there anymore. So we just taught Steve instead! It was a pretty short lesson, just a little info about the Book of Mormon. So we gave him a copy and invited him to read it. Since that encounter, we hadn't seem him until this last Wednesday. When we pulled up to his house, he we sitting out on his front porch and he was so happy to see us. He told us that he is now in the book of Jacob and he absolutely loves it. And he even watched The Testaments! We had another lesson with him on Saturday about the Restoration and the Prophet Joseph Smith. The Spirit was so strong during that lesson and the Spirit definitely hit Steve very hard. He told us that he knew it was true. We've invited him to be baptized twice now, he definitely wants to, but he doesn't want to set a date. It's been such an amazing miracle to see what has come of something small and simple and giving a Book of Mormon and inviting them to read it. Steve is so incredible. And we just can't wait to see where it goes!
We had another lesson with the Huntley's this last week. We had a pretty amazing lesson with them about the Book of Mormon. We still didn't see Brett at church but we did hear some good news from Sister Huntley. She told us that Brett was in a pretty awful mood that day. And he was telling her that she should tell us not to come over. But she didn't! So we still went over and had a great lesson with him and his family. He has now committed to read in and pray about the Book of Mormon. And afterwards Brett was in a great mood! So we were happy to hear that the Spirit was able to be present in his home and soften his heart.
We also had an incredible lesson with our new investigator Coby. Out of everyone that I've ever taught on my mission, he has to be the most solid one ever. He's already going on scout camps, paying tithing, and talking about getting the priesthood! He's such cool kid.
You guys are the best! It's crazy how quickly time is going passed. But it definitely motivates me to just keep working harder! Thank you all for your love care and support.
Love you all!
Elder Scott
