Yard work & Magic

Hey Y'all!

This week was really good. This last Sunday was long as heck but as a testimony to having charity above all, let me relay it to you. We got to Sunday meetings and had a ton goin on, when it came time for the second ward sacrament meeting, we didn't realize it but afterwards there was a family with two investigators in it there. They came up to us after and asked when we could come over for dinner. The dad is a member returning to activity since he was 14 when he left the church and his wife and kid aren't members. The missionaries in the past rubbed them the wrong way really bad they said, how it was like someone selling pest control but instead it was membership at the price of getting taught lessons. But unbeknownst to us when Elder Black gave his testimony two weeks before and how candid he was with who he his and giving true testimony rather than a thankamony or talking the talk without walking the walk, and how I testified of love and charity and the effect it's had in my life and how it should be the growth formula of our nature, they went and met with the bishop after and asked for our names and numbers. They then this Sunday set up a time for us to go eat dinner and just, I was humbled. We met the wife earlier that week when we stopped by and got to play with their cute dog and get to know them. It's gonna be awesome getting to know them. Then in the next ward a youth brought a friend to church who moved in with their family. He has taken extreme interest in how his family is from the gospel and asked us to teach him about how he can be a part of it. So that's been crazy, literally just the lord showing his hand, making our efforts light up. It was awesome. 

So that was the big highlight. We also helped a family with yard work to ease the burden placed on them from moving out soon. It was way fun and I got to do some magic tricks with their kids, it was enjoyable. 

We also had some awesome sushi with Elder Owens and Busch one day, sushi is the best we went again today and that was a treat. 

We also saw a dog that made tears come to my eyes and you'll see why.

Oh and we also built a puzzle and the last piece literally didn't come with the puzzle. I think someone working at the puzzle place fricken trolled us.

Love you!
