Hard work always pays off

Great week in the promised land of st dié. we have worked really hard this week and have actually seen a whole lot of success. it's crazy how like when you work you find success. we were porting and we probably knocked on 100 doors in a single night. everyone was either gone or just didn't want to talk to us at all. i was getting fed up. i saw a lady walking in the street and i started talking to her and she totally called her husband and we set up a rdv right there. so we went and they invited a friend as well. these people are evangelical so they looked at the book of mormon as if it were a snake. after some explanation everyone there said they'd take a book of mormon and read it. we have another rdv with them this wednesday so i hope things are going to go well.

another one of our stellar amis is anne. she is so nice and she just loves all things spiritual. this week we saw her and taught her the plan of salvation which was really good. at the end of the rdv she told us she couldn't come to church because she was having people over and she needed to be a good host. we told her we understood and we went on with our week. saturday morning she called me and told me how much she really wanted to go to church but it was too far for her to walk and she needed to walk her dog so it would be hard to do both. thanks to the wonderful branch members we were able to get her a ride and she came to church and loved it once again. 

this week we have to go all over the place so it will be a crazy week once again. hopefully i'm still alive to write another blog entry.

loves
