Hey guys, it seems like you all had a great week, especially Shannon
getting a new house and stuff. This last week went really well and we
saw a lot of success! We were able to break out of some little
unproductive habits and see the blessings of doing so. This last week we
found 9 new investigators because we were able to follow the spirit in
what to do and where to go. We were blessed in the receiving of a
referral from one of Hermana Walsh's converts in Pasadena for a man
named Ulises and his wife, Andrea. On Sunday, when we were going to a
different lesson, we both had the feeling of stopping by this couple's
house and the Ulises was outside and was really excited to see us! It
turn out that the he had gone to our church in Mexico about 2 or 3 times
when he was about 12 or 13 years old. His friend from work (Hermana
Walah's convert) had been talking with him and invited him to have the
missionaries over and he really wanted that! He invited us right in and
we were able to speak with him and his wife, sharing the message of the
Restoration and it answered many of their questions, including why there
are so many churches out in the world. They accepted a baptismal
invitation for the 18th of July and they seem truly willing to do what
is necessary to come to know the truth.
What made Sunday even better was the fact that as we were walking the
long way back to the car, we saw a guy that Elder Knudsen and I
contacted one of our last days together and we were able to talk to him
and his mother. They invited us inside and we shared with them the
message of the Restoration as well, but we sadly weren't able to commit
them to a baptismal date. We did make an attempt, and they were
willing to let us come back and explain a little more about the restored
authority and the Book of Mormon. When we got out of the lesson, we had
no idea why the Lord suddenly decided to bless us with 4 new
investigators in about an hour or hour and a half. On Saturday and
Sunday, we found 7 of our 9 new investigators, and then we were blessed
with 3 more on Monday.
The district is doing really well and both of our areas saw a ton of
miracles leading us to more prepared people and progress with the ones
we have found already.
I love you guys,
Elder Stanley Scott Dye
