Week 90--Murray, UT

This week was good. I went on exchange with some elders this week. We found a lot of potential investigators on exchanges and a few investigators. 

We knocked on this one door when I was on exchanges with Elder Leaaetoa.  He is a Tongan elder who goes home this transfer so I’m just trying to keep him going. Anyways, the only information we had was it was a new move-in. We initiated small conversation with the lady and we started talking for like 2 minutes. Elder Leaaetoa pipes up and tells this story just out of the blue. It wasn’t related to the conversation at all. He starts and 10 minutes later he is still telling the story. The lady's sister came out and said, “Hey, I need you to do something for me”, in an effort to get her away from the conversation. Surprisingly, she told her sister that she wanted him to finish the story. He speaks for another 5 min. The story was about this guy who originally rejected the missionaries but eventually accepted them. It got very spiritual toward the end of the story when the guy in the story reconciles with God. I felt the spirit and I knew that she did. They said that we could come back and teach their family. I walked away from the door humbled.

Another story that was pretty funny happened. Ask me about a drunk guy named Caleb when I get home. I know that I will remember.

Another cool story. An Armenian guy named Hyke moved here a few years ago. He told us about an experience that he had where he has recently been praying for more direction in his life. He said he’s prayed twice and after his prayer each time he walked outside to take a smoke. Both times, he saw missionaries passing by. He took that as a sign. He agreed to meet with us. The other guy that I was on exchanges with at the time served in this area last year. He said he remembered talking to that guy and he was the furthest thing from interested. 

Love ya’ll bye

P.S. As far as the career goes, I have been informed through the spirit that I will be a small pastry baker.
