This week went by so fast! We are busy and it makes the time fly. It has been an awesome week in the service of the Lord!
We started out the week on exchanges with the AP's, they are so great! They both came down and worked in our area. I was with Elder Smith and he is such a funny guy. It is cool because before he was AP, he was a district leader in my zone in Pueblo, so I have gotten to go on 3 exchanges with him now! He served in this area a few months ago so he was able to show me a lot of people that they used to work with that had slipped through the cracks. It was a good day and I learned a lot.
That evening we started exchanges with the La Jara Elders. Elder Pope came up here to my area and we had a great exchange. Elder Pope was also in Pueblo when I was there and was being trained. It was so cool to see how much he had changed. He was a bit quiet and not too confident before but now he is so much different and a good teacher! We had a fun day and it was cool because we were walking around and started talking to this guy when it started raining pretty hard. He offered us a ride back to our car at our apartments and we gladly accepted. On the ride we continued to talk to him and he seemed pretty interested and he lives almost all of the commandments already! But after we had finished talking to him and he drove away we ran into Nick! He is awesome and was pretty interested in the gospel. He accepted a Book of Mormon and we are going to meet with him soon, the Lord's timing is perfect!
We also had a lesson with a guy named Johnny. He used to date a recently returned missionary and she introduced us to him. We read through Alma 32 and talked about the Book of Mormon with him and the spirit was so strong there. the Book of Mormon speaks for itself and will convince any honest seeker of truth that this is the Church of Jesus Christ.
Last really great thing that happened was being able to teach Lynn. So a guy in our ward was watching a conference talk at a restaurant and the waitress asked who it was and he said it was "an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ" and he asked if she wanted to set up an appointment with him and the missionaries so she could learn more and she did! So Lynn is a wonderful lady who has felt like something was missing in her life for a while and was so receptive. It was a fun lesson and we have another one this week.
It was too bad this week though because we had 3 investigators that were really awesome and promising and they all wanted to stop meeting with us this week! That was a bummer but I am sure they will come around someday.
Anyways it was a fun week and I love being a missionary! This is definitely true!
Love,
Elder Morgan
