Flirt to Convert...

my companion does it well... =) I will explain along the way.

But first! Thanks mom for looking up the stuff about the byu thing. i´ll ask president if I can talk to him about the endorsment. Thats also pretty crazy how Katie is already getting so close to being married. Sent my Congratulations to her. i´ll probably end up sending a letter to her or something like that too. =) 

So this week was rather interesting. we were able to get some stuff done during the week that made a difference in the lives of some people. first off, one random day me and elder max were conversing in the street. in english. (shame on me) and while we were talking there was a random 24 year old girl in the street named Aline who started talking with us too... in english. it took us both off guard because she spoke english very well. we had a short conversation with her and we were able to mark a time that we could go to her house and talk to her a little bit about the church. 

When we made it there. she was very welcoming. when we entered it was easy to see that either her or her family was very involved in the catholic church. there were saints and crosses all over the house. so after about an hour of chatting with her. (remember the subject line?) we finally start to teach. so we taught her the restoration and she was actually very atent. she believed in the idea of the restoration. she always felt as if somethings were missing and she had noticed that there were ten billion churches talking about christ. after we taught we invited her to church. and she went. =)

after a lovely conversation on the way to the chaple... (subject line) she arrived at the chapel and always stayed close to my companion. she loved everything about the church and my companion made sure we were following up well with her. we walked her ALL the way back to her house (something we have yet to do with any other investigator.) and already have marked with her a family home evening that we will be making snicker doodles with a couple other members. a cute little american treat that they dont have here. =) 

isnt my companion cute... =) its amazing what a cute face can do. its by far some of the best following up i´ve seen for investigators. and heck if it leads to her getting to know the church i´m alright with this sudden burst of work. haha! i´ll just have to keep a close eye them. ;)

anyway that was the biggest news for the week. sounds like things are going well back home. i´ll talk to you all next week.  buh bye now!
