Guess what everyone? 

Turns out that every week is a good week. 

A came back this week!! For 2 days. He's gone again. But we did get to see him and he's been reading the Book of Mormon and he met good LDS people while he was on his trip (I prayed hard for this). We went and saw him on Sunday night with a couple in the ward,she  is a returned missionary and her husband is a convert whom she taught on her mission. Turns out, A and Brother H have the same religious background (grew up religious and involved before becoming agnostic/atheistic). It was so awesome to see them connect. We taught the Restoration. Great lesson -  lots of questions so it is exciting to see him understand and have those questions answered. Also, he has way more faith than he realized and gives himself credit for. It is rewarding to help him to recognize that. He even said he will pray one time this week! His heart is softening. 

On Sunday night we had parked our car and were walking to go and see someone (it was like 8pm and dark at this point) and we crossed paths with a girl who was just kind of walking home by herself and was pretty nervous about a dog up ahead. We had previously met this St Bernard and knew he was fine and volunteered to walk this girl home. Sweet girl. Lots of ambition and drive, ready to graduate high school in the spring. We shared some of our message with her as we walked mile or so to her home and she said we can go back Friday to share more. I love experiences like that. When it's obvious why we are in a place at a specific time. And so we get to serve God's children. 

Not much else happened this week - we tracted -it rained - Sister S learned that Moroni who wrote the book Moroni is different than Captain Moroni - we had some other good lessons with some new investigators. 

-Sister Gore

He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him. Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation.

Behold, doth he cry unto any, saying: Depart from me? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; but he saith: Come unto me all ye ends of the earth, buy milk and honey, without money and without price.

2 Nephi 26: 24-25
