Its been a rainy/Snowy week!
Hello Family!
The work here in Reno is picking up! It was quite a busy week! We found 3 NEW PEOPLE!! John, Donna, and Teresa!!! We are excited to teach them! We've met with each of them and got a return appointments to go back!!
JOHN
We met John a couple of weeks ago. He had met missionaries in the past so we went by to see if he was still interested. He is 89 and is the youngest of 12 children. He is the only one alive in his family. He said he stares at the wall every day so he really enjoys our company! We've met with him twice now. We have now taught the whole Plan of salvation! His religious background is Greek Orthodox which is interesting. It was cool because the member who we brought with us to our lesson grew up Greek Orthodox. We didnt even know! so that was cool. Yesterday we went by to read in the Book of Mormon to him because he can't read. We also sang him "I am a Child of God". He very much enjoyed it!!!
DONNA!
We met with Donna again. She is in her 70s and is originally from Chicago. She claims to be Catholic but doesn't practice! Her husband is a member of the church but he stopped going when he was young. We went by and testified of God's love for all of his children. They enjoyed the message and invited us back next week.
TERESA!
We met Teresa this week! She is super nice and really into energy and frequency. Its very interesting. We talked with her for a while about God. She is looking for a church but hasn't found it yet! We scheduled to come back in February!! Her husband is a pilot and his plane was hijacked during 9/11 back in 2001.
JENNIFER
We met Jennifer while tracting! She told us to come back again and so we did! She is an active duty medic in the Army National Guard. She loves what she does and is also a mother of 2 little kids. Her husband is also in the army but is currently working away from home. Jennifer was raised in a broken home and lived with a family who are members of the church for some time. She has been to church a couple times in her youth and mentioned that she misses it. She is looking for a church to raise her kids in. a church where the people are like family. I told her there was no coincedence that we happened to knock on her door. She was very open to what we had to say. We shared with her some scriptures in the Book of Mormon and she invited us to come back again. She will be traveling for the next couple months but told us to keep in contact over phone!
Knocked on door
Man opens and says, "Don't yall know there is a serial killer on the loose?" "You don't look like seriel killers, but you can come back in a few weeks"
haha he was really nice and we are excited to go back in a few weeks! Not sure whats up with the whole seriel killer part of it.
We almost hit this dog as he was laying out in the middle of the rode. We stopped to see if he was okay. He was fine, he just was chillling out on the street.
