Dear All,
So this last week was another slow week. Haven't heard from Tarry at all and Michael isn't making any progression. All of our other investigators aren't progressing either. I'm still doing my best not to get discouraged though. I actually had a good spirit lifting experience yesterday night. Yesterday was super slow, no one was home and we only got a lesson in with Michael, which is almost always the same thing every time. But last night, right before the day was about to the end, we went and tried someone named Jeremy, who is a preacher at the Harvest Christian church. He is super nice and super chill too! My companion found him before I got here and we haven't really been able to talk with him since I've been here. He said he read the cover of the Book of Mormon and had some questions. I'm glad we were there to answer them because he was afraid that we believed Joseph Smith to be like Jesus Christ. We explained to him that wasn't even close to the case and we talked a little more. He expressed to us that he feels that the "church" (I think he was referring to church in general) doesn't push living a holy life enough. He said that most preachers preach one thing about God, that He is either super Loving, or he is super judging. We had a good conversation on commandments and how there is a balance between the love and hatred toward sin of God. I feel that he is a lot of potential! He wants to follow God and Jesus Christ to the best of his ability and he recognized God in almost everything that happens in his life, which is amazing! It really made me thing of our members, and how there are times when we forget to recognize Him in our lives.
Well, I hope everyone is doing awesome! I'm loving the mission and enjoying the work. I love you all and hope to hear from you. Keep up the good work and don't forget who you are and where everything in your life is from.
With tender love and care,
