Dear Family!
Well unfortunately, I do not have a ton of time to email today because of a few technical difficulties that happened with the internet here at the chapel!.. We finally got it all figured out, but there were a ton of missionaries that needed to email still, so we just played basketball while we waited for everyone to get done. So I am going to have to try to speed through this week as fast as I can!
We have had one of the most miracle filled weeks of my entire mission! I can't even explain the miracles and blessings that we saw this week. We found another 5 new investigators, and added two more dates to our indicators! We have been so blessed to be able to really increase our number of investigators. We literallyhave had no time to find, but the times that we have taken to find, the Lord has just blessed us like crazy! We have a date with a young man named Peter who is Chinese and had absolutely no christian background when we met him! He has since prayed and told us that he knows that God is real, and that he is listening to his prayers! It has been such a blessing to be able to see his progression! His date is going to be on August 31st! A young lady named Deniella is our other investigator, and she has a date for the 14th of September. She has been investigating the church for the past three months. She hadn't been making much progress, but we had a life changing lesson with her the other day, that changed each and every single one of our lives! It was completely impossible to deny the spirit that was in that room! We challenged her on the spot and she accepted. It reminded me a lot of Marlin Jefferson's lesson that first time with Elder Roberts. Elder Fajardoand I have a really good relationship, and because of that have been really blessed with people to teach, and with having people progress in the Gospel!
I have got to get going this week, but I promise I will make time next week to write more! We have zone conference tomorrow and so we are really excited for that! This past week we were able to go to the temple as a companionship since Elder had a recent convert that received his endowments and went through the Temple! It was amazing to see the changes in the temple and the changes that they have done to the inside of this temple! I loved it so much and we were both just so blessed to be able to be apart of it! I know with all of my heart that the church is true, and that Christ is the head of it! I loved the head stone for Grandpa because of the bottom! What a moment in time that we will always remember! I know that Families are forever, and that is just such a great memory to know that we will all see him again when this life is over! I love you all so much, and just wanted to remind you all that we need to keep reading our Book of Mormons, because that is going to be the thing that gets us all through the hard times! Love you all so much and thanks for the Emails!
Love,
Elder Shelley
