This week we got two of our investigators a baptismal date so that's been great! I was also able to teach another lesson in English to a man from Ghana. I really dislike teaching in English now haha it's actually kind of difficult to find the words. We also had the chance to teach a Muslim in Spanish! Which isn't something that happens every day but this lady spoke 7 languages fluently. She was from Saudi Arabia but her parents were from Spain. I don't know what the other languages were but we heard her speak at least 3 with a perfect native accent. So she was very interesting. We also talked a woman from Pakistan this week! So it's been full of diversity.
One of the highlights was talking to an American at his doorstep and he kept saying over and over again that our church told us to vote for Trump... We tried to correct him but he was persistent and I quote, "It's true It's true It's true It's true It's true It's true, I swear It's true!!" We then saw the same man today in the parking lot of Walmart and I said "Is that the "It's true" guy??" Sure enough he runs up to us and starts ranting about Trump and polygamists and said, It's true about another 6 times so we're really good friends with him now! haha
As a spiritual thought I would just like to share one of my favorite scriptures. It is found in the Gospel of John 14:18. "I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you." I love reading this chapter and pondering Christ's love for his Apostles as he spoke to them. I always feel that he has that same love for me, and therefore I have the same promise. We all have times that we feel "comfortless." But The Savior is always there for us just waiting to help us to overcome all the things in this life that are going to make us better. We simply need to kneel down and humbly ask for his help. I love you all. Please keep praying fervently and often. It's so important for all of us. :)
