Dun du du,
another one bites the dust! That's just
how the weeks seem to go here! Haha, K
so this is real time action right here. Over at the help desk, not 15 feet away from
me, the two college students assigned there are chit chatting away about Mormons
and all the "well I've heard" and "well my friend said
this" "but didn't they this?" and so on. Classic! Did you know we can't drink caffeine? And the people who are Mormon but don't
follow our rules get shunned, like the Amish.
Haha don't worry, I'm strapped with mormon.org cards and lets just say
we'll make it rain! Clear up some of
this foolishness.
Back to
business. Great to hear about all y'alls
weeks! What a blessing you were able to
go to the open house (Gilbert Temple) and have it work out the way it did! That’s neat to hear about your decal side
business Aust! And Braden! Let me tell you what. You're having such awesome experiences right
now! The concert this weekend you get to
go to with the family will be a good one!
This week is
was really neat, we were able to see watch the Lord work in a man's life from
multiple different angles. Last Sunday
we went to a lunch appt and arrived a few min. early so we knocked a few doors
around the members home. We talked to a
man who has his PhD in Chemistry, Rob Thompson, if I remember right and teaches
at OU. He was great friends with the
members we were about to have lunch with. He told us he wasn't religious at all so we
had a good discussion on truth and what it is, and the importance prayer plays
in finding out truth. We asked if we
could come by another time to share our message but he said he no. We told the member family, the Drayton's about
our experience, and they mentioned they felt prompted for a while now to give
his wife a B.o.M. But wait, it doesn't
end there! We were at dinner a few days
later with another family, the Manors. Br. Manor in the middle of dinner said
"Elders, I have a missionary story I have to share with you!" He is working on his PhD at OU, and was at
school early one morning. He was in his
office and prayed "Heavenly Father, I know you're there, but to help
further assure my knowledge, give me a missionary moment today, and I promise I'll
share the gospel." He then
proceeded with his day. In the afternoon
he was chit chattin with one of his professors and his professor brought up how
the other day the "guys in suits" came to his door, and proceeded to
hop on the band wagon and talk about all the 'different' things they believe
in. Little did he know Br. Manor was a Mormon!
So Br. Manor said, "Well guess
what? I belong to that church" and began to teach! Haha it was awesome. Even better, his professor began to ask him
all the questions he always wondered about the Mormon church. Guess who his
professor was? Rob Thompson. We couldn't
believe it! Isn't that so awesome! God works, and he is so aware of our lives!!! I don't know what Rob Thompson is up to now,
or when he'll accept the gospel, but he's ever so closer because of the small
and simple means which the Lord worked, through his servants! I know that this is His work! What a blessing that we get to be engaged in
it, ALL OF OUR LIVES!! Thanks for you prayers and support.
Love,
Elder
