Week 51?

This week was kinda slow, but it was an awesome week non-the-less.  To start off with Elder Richey is amazing to serve around.  He is super positive, obedient and loves to work!  We started off the week working in South Lansing and literally, 5 people were home all day.  It was rough, to say the least.  We were also fasting as a zone for people to come to church so we had a good character-building day. 

We have been working with a part member family for the last 4 weeks or so and we were there again Sunday night for dinner.  And to start with they smoked us up some ribs and some really good Filipino food.  Their kids started asking about why we came on a mission and things related to missionary life.  It was awesome.  We were finally able to smoothly transition into a teaching opportunity.  We were able to bear testimony of the gospel and the Book of Mormon.  Next week when we go over we are planning to share the Plan of Salvation with them!

We were finally able to refer Denise to the missionaries in Flint.  The night we referred her we got a call from the Flint Elders.  We were able to expound a little more and I think Denise is in good hands!

We were able to pick up two new friends this week, Phyllis and Steve.  They have had us over for dinner the last 3 Saturdays in a row!  They invited a friend over by the name of Kevin and he had seen the movie 17 Miracles.  We got talking about that and eventually they started wondering why they went through what they went through.  We took the gap and shared a short Restoration with them!
