Whats up guys!

I hope this week was a great one. It was a great week over here. We had some amazing things happen. It was a little crazy due to some crazy storms that hit our area. It rained so much, we worked soaking wet a lot, haha. One night when we were working, a huge storm hit and it started pouring rain with lightning and thunder and all of that. Luckily, we were pretty close to the apartment but as we were walking back...huggee lightning bolt came and struck down like 30 feet from us haha. It was insane. But we got back safe so need to worry! Haha I would share that.

But we have some great investigators right now that are really progressing. We had something really cool happen with a family we have been teaching called the Gurayi Family. We have been teaching the wife and one of the daughters for a long time now but haven't really been able to talk to the dad very much, because he always leaves or is in the house when we come. Anyways, we have been teaching them a lot but they havent been progressing very much in the gospel. It's hard cause every week we talk to them and hang out with them and have become really great friends but every time we talk about the gospel they try to change the subject. This week we had the plan to teach them one more time and if they weren't really interested or showing signs of progressing we weren't going to pass by anymore. It was pretty sad to make plans like that because we have gotten super close with this family and have come to love them so much. But, this week we went by and for the first time the whole family was there. We told them about how we are here as missionaries to help them follow Jesus Christ and receive all the blessings and happiness He has in store for us. I think for the first time, they all just kept silent and listened to what we had to say. I could feel the Spirit working in them. The dad finally participated in the lesson and said he wants to ask God and come to church to know if our message is true. It was such a powerful lesson. I really do love this work. We have seen so many miracles it's incredible. It really is the Lord's work. I hope you all have a great week! Love you guys!
