Holy cow! This week has been crazy! We have been so blessed to find so many people this week who are ready and willing to hear more about the Gospel. The coming week will be full of return appointments and member present lessons - I'm so excited! The amazing thing is that it's nothing Sister Berati and I have done. It's simply the Lord showing us where we need to go and who we need to talk to.
This week our Bishop suggested that we stop by the cutest little cafe you could imagine next to the train station. It's called the Chocolate Teapot and we went there to follow up on these ladies that members had contacted and become friends with. The members moved back to the U.S. but suggested to the Bishop that we stop by to see if they'd be interested to learn more. It was a busy day in the cafe, but we left a mormon.org card for her and she was so excited to have it. We'll be stopping by again soon to hopefully leave a Book of Mormon to her and the owner. After leaving, less than 15 minutes later we knocked on a woman's door who wasn't interested and she told us the person next door probably wasn't either. Despite her suggestion, we knocked on her neighbor's door anyway. A sweet lady from Africa opened the door, took a copy of the Book of Mormon and we set up a time to meet with her again on Wednesday! It was a miracle!
I also was reminded how much I love church this week. Two investigators that live near our home both came to church for the first time, stayed all three hours and asked if they could come again next week. We were so happy! Usually we have to try and drag people to church! There is such a great Spirit there and we know that's really what makes it so special for the people that come for the first time. They can feel the difference and the love the ward and their Heavenly Father has for them.
Scripture of the Week: "Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of Him to declare His word among His people that they might have everlasting life." -3 Nephi 5:13
