I hope you all are doing great. I had really amazing week. The lord
really blessed us so much. We were quite successful at our finding and
tracting this past week. We found this really solid investigator named
William and he has been taught by the missionaries
before. He stopped meeting with missionaries because he was going to
really hard times. He had a lots of death in his families and after that
he just kind of lost his faith. As we knocked on his door he
immediately invited as in. We had really powerful lesson
with him about atonement of Christ and the Book of Mormon. He was really
happy that we showed up and he told us how he have been thinking about
God lately and wanted have his faith back.
Yesterday after church we found this former investigator named
Nikki. She is so awesome and was really glad that we stopped by her. As
soon as we gave her our contact information and left she texted us and
thanked us for stopping by. She was being taught
by the missionaries before back in May and they dropped her for some
reason. On her teaching record it says that she was not interested but
she told us that the missionaries just kind of stopped coming by her. We
also found this potential investigator named
Sydney. She is from Cameroon and she is so solid. Told us to come by
anytime she is home cause she loves talking about God. We have
appointment with her this Friday and I'm excited for that.
On Thursday we had opportunity to go to the priesthood restoration
site In northern Pennsylvania as a mission. We all got up at 3 o'clock
in the morning and met in Dover to get on the bus there. The travel
there took us about 4 and half hours. It was really
beautiful drive there thou, the trees were so beautiful and colorful. We
spent about 4 hours at the site, and it was such a remarkable
experience. We had the opportunity to go into Joseph and Emma's house
where part of the Book of Mormon translation took. We
also went into the Hales home. You can see so much difference between
Joseph's house and the Hales. You can see that the Hales were well off
just by looking at how nice their home is. We also went down to the
river and saw that same river where Joseph and Oliver
baptized each other. It was really spiritual experience for me. The
spirit was so strong there, it gave me an additional witness that Joseph
Smith was truly a prophet of God. I am so grateful for the restoration
of the gospel of Jesus Christ through prophet
Joseph Smith and for the priesthood that has been restored back to the
earth through him. If it wasn't for this gospel I won't be the person I
am today.
I hope someday you all will have an opportunity to go visit that
priesthood restoration site. It's truly is wonderful place to be. Love
you all and hope that everything will go well for you in life.
Love Elder Haws!!
