Wow its been such an amazing week here! We have seen so much success this week!
I don't know where to start here but i'll just do it anyway ha ha!! First off me and Elder Lor are like brothers.... its so fun working with him. He is going to BYU so I'm glad I will see him allot after my mission! We both really love basketball so we are thinking of challenging some African Americans at a local court and tell them that if we win we get to teach them! but I will let you all know how that goes.... when we decide to do it because we just don't have enough time as it is. :) We are so busy here we just killed it this week....we have gotten allot of new investigators and we also SET 2 DATES for May 18th there names are Brian he is 15 and his little sister she is 13 her name is Precious! they are so awesome!! They came to church yesterday... so yesterday we were expecting about 3 of our investigators to church and 7 came so it was so good!
One of the coolest stories that happened this week I want to share with you all. So at the start of my mission when I was in frogtown we were teaching a man (name withheld) and he just disappeared one day and we later found out he went to prison. He just recently got out and is living in a half and half house or something like that! So we started teaching him again! It is so scary walking in there! There are so many ex-convicts and he is like telling us what everyone has done. It was scary but they all love us for some reason.... it's mostly African Americans and Hmong people in there and they are like "hey bible boys how yo doing?" It's funny! We also found out that one of his friends is a less active member and he is in the same place so he sits in the lessons with us and I don't know what it is.... but I love teaching people that just got out of prison they are so sincere and humble. We were teaching them the gospel of Jesus Christ and they had really awesome questions like one was "since we all are sinners and the Holy Ghost can't dwell within a dirty temple or body how can the spirit dwell then? and so we taught about repentance and all that...... it was so spiritual, they were pretty much bearing their testimony to us and the less active said this....he said " I was active in the church and when I was a teen I fell away... started doing things that I wasn't supposed to be doing and I got into gangs and stuff, but now I need to change. I have nothing left for me in my life except for Jesus and I know Jesus can change me". We are so excited for these two guys they didn't come to church because they have to get permission from their case workers before they can come and they had to get permission from their case worker to even talk to us so its pretty strict.
