Hola everybody,
This past week we had a ton of
success!! We have 4 new people investigating the church and they are all
very receptive. At the same time we are both extremely tired haha but
that´s how life works!
So a few weeks ago we knocked on
one door that supposedly had a less active family there that we wanted to
visit. However they had apparently moved and someone else’s family lived
there now. So we asked her if she wanted to listen and she said yes but
another day. So we´ve been returning for weeks and she´s never been
there, always at work. However one day we went (after telling her father we´d
be there on that day again) and she answered. We asked if she had been
told that we were going to return and she said something along the lines of
"no, but I knew you´d come eventually" but not in a bad way, more
like she had been waiting for us to come. So we talked to her and she
seems really interested. And the fact that she hadn´t forgotten was new
for me.
In one week we have gone from
having 3 people to teach to having around 7 and we are working hard to help
them all. I love the people that we teach, they are all so happy to have
the Gospel in their lives!
I´d like to share with you all my
testimony that I know that through honest, sincere, and loving prayer our
Father in Heaven will answer our questions and help us. It may not be how
we expect, or how we want, but we can always turn to our Heavenly Father for
help. That is what happened this week. It was fitting that it was
the week of Thanksgiving because believe me, we certainly gave thanks to God
for ALL his help that he gave us.
On a slightly different note, today
we went to a place in our mission that sells good quality stuff really cheap and
if you buy a lot of them you get them cheaper. It was so cool!! My
companion and I both bought watches and matching ties because we both needed a
watch and ties were about $1 a piece!! We had a lot of fun. Then
ate at Taco Bell again haha.
I love you all and bid you
farewell.
Con amor,
Elder Forsgren
