Our New Family!

This week we found new investigators and a new family!!  We found a FAMILY! 

 

We got a referral from the Elders.  It was an old teaching record in their area book.  They said we could go by on it if we wanted.  We decided that we would.  When we knocked on the door a man came out.  We explained that we were from the church, but he just looked at us.  We switched to English but he still had no idea what we wanted.  We played charades in the hallway for awhile using our name tags and the Book of Mormon to help us.  He knocked on his neighbors' doors but no one was home.  He then pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and gave it to Sister Nilson.

She explained our situation to the mysterious person on the other end of the phone.  We set up another appointment to come back later and exchanged numbers.  

We came back a couple of days later and were not sure what to expect.  We went inside the apartment and found a whole family just sitting ready for us ot teach them.  There was a young couple and their daughter and then the grandparents and some of their other children.  They are such sweet people.  We explained what we do as missionaries and they said they were interested.  We met later at our church and showed them around.  We are meeting again with them tonight and are so excited!

We had a good week!

I hope you all did too!

Love,

Sister Brown
