Dear family and friends,

This week went by kinda slow. We didn't get to teach a whole lot or meet with a lot of people. A couple good things that did happen:

There is no ward mission leader in the branch, so the missionaries here have been kind of flying solo for the past little while, and when I first arrived the missionaries hadn't been doing a lot of work with members. But last Sunday I was talking to one of the members about it and he said something basically to the effect of "what? There's no ward mission leader? Don't worry, I'll set up appointments with the members for you." and basically appointed himself as our assistant. The next day he called and said "I set up four appointments with members with you this week." It was way funny and way cool. So now we're working a lot with the members and having them help us with our teaching skills which is really helpful.

We visited a former investigator that had some really really good potential but got dropped a couple months ago because he wasn't returning phone calls, so I suggested that we just go out and visit him. We did and he still had a lot of interest and questions so we've started teaching him again. He's a way good guy who loves his family and just wants to know about the purpose of life.

We went housing Saturday night and accidentally housed into one of our investigators haha. He's the one closest to baptism right now and we hadn't been able to meet him this week so it was kind of a miracle that we got to talk to him. We knocked on the door and did our housing approach and then he said "wait hold on a second. I know you guys." and came to the door and we had a good talk about the Book of Mormon. Pretty funny and definitely revelation. We had been praying to be able to meet him, but he wasn't returning our texts. We didn't know where this guy lived, so we couldn't drop buy and visit. That night we decided an area to house in and decided to house the first apartment we found. He was the only one home in the entire building. God's got our back. It was way way cool. 

Hope everyone has a good week. Love you all.
