Its been a rainy week! And we saw tons of miracles!

Service!!

We do set service every week at the food bank. We organize and put away food on shelfs. Its pretty fun. This week was a busy week for them. We always enjoy helping them out.

We also do service for the United Methodist church every saturday at their thrift store called Helping Hands. This week they had a big blow out sale, everything 75% off. They had a big BBQ and roasted hotdogs for anyone to come. It was so fun! We love going there because all of the workers are super nice. They love having us come.

MIRACLE!

So It was almost 9pm, its dark, its raining and we were riding back to our apartment on our bikes. Sister Cluff all of a sudden turns around and says, we are going back to try a less active. In my head I'm like, "are you serious?? we need to get home! im wet and cold and its getting dark!" but I just followed her as we biked back and pulled up to a sketchy looking house. The house had no lights on whatsoever. It looked abandoned and kinda scary. We went and knocked on the door. and no one answered. So we decided to knock on the other door on the side of the house that had couches in front of it, blocking the door. haha I was like "This is so dumb, obviously no one is here." But then,,,,dun dun dun,,The door opens and a man comes out of the house. He steps over the couches to get to us. He apologized for the couches that were in the way. We introduces ourselves. He said his name is Chad. He is super nice and told us that he is a member but he hasnt been to church since he was a teenager. He thought it was funny that we happened to show up because he had recently talked with the Bishop to set up a time for him to recieve a blessing. He told us that he has had a hard life and is currently "fighting demons". He said he would like to get back to church. He asked us when and where the church was at. We gave him the information. It was super cool! It was quite a miracle! He said to not come back until he fights the demons off. lol I am so grateful for Sister Cluff who was able to act on the promptings that she had recieved. It was an awesome experience.

For the lack of time I will put the rest of what happened this week in bullet points!

We had interviews with President Chesnut
On Friday, all of our set appointments canceled! but it was ok because we were able to meet and talk to a lot of different people!
Im at my 10 month mark!
a Less active older lady offered us a dog treat. We ate it and it was good.
We had numerous doors slam in our face this week! :( It was super sad but we just went on and tried to stay positive.
We had a super awesome lesson with a Less active in the Walker Branch
We met a potential investigator in Walker named Amber.
There was a huge "Wine Walk" going on near our apartment where everyone walks down the street drinking wine. there were tons of booths set up for people to taste the different kinds of wine. It was very interesting haha
