Easter Miracles

Well, this week was pretty darn awesome!

We taught 13 lessons and found 4 new investigators (That's more than they found all last transfer.)

On Wednesday at 7 we got a text from our zone leaders telling us we've got two more hours in the day and so they wanted to challenge us to find 1 new investigator.
So Sister Watko and I said, "ok, let's do it!"

We decided to go see a potential....she wasn't home.

We felt we should knock on her neighbors door before we drove away to another potential.

Robin answered the door.

We taught her a little bit about the Restoration and we're going back to see her this Wednesday.

BOOM! New investigator!

The Lord blessed us for our faith and diligence.

Well, we were so pumped that we said, "LET'S GO FIND ANOTHER!"
AND WE DID!

We went to see a potential named Anamika. 

She's a cute little Indian woman.

The first time we met her, her husband was there, but on Wednesday it was just her.

We taught her the Restoration.

She didn't understand it very well, but she invited us to come back the next day when her husband would be there.

BOOM! New investigator!
The Lord blessed us for our faith and diligence.

It was pretty cool!

Now, I know you're all wondering what happened at our return appointment with Anamika and her husband.

Well.... it was interesting.

We taught the Plan of Salvation.

Navin (the husband) was the only one listening.

Well, he was hearing, but not listening.

They have a Hindu background, but his beliefs are different.

He doesn't believe that we're real.
He believes in our spirits, but not our bodies, and he believes that we are all God, because God is knowledge and when we gain knowledge, we become God.

It was interesting, but it's his beliefs.

Now here's what got me...we asked if he loves his son.

HE DOESN'T LOVE HIS SON!!!!!
He says we can't get attached to things, because they aren't real and they're temporary.

He compared his son to a letter.

He was given a letter and has to take care of it and make sure it doesn't tear or get wet.....WHAT?!
I wanted to cry!
He doesn't love his son!
That poor boy!
Which also means he probably doesn't love his wife.

Crazy!
Mom, Dad!
THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, yah.

We dropped them.

Not because of his beliefs.

We just didn't feel like we should set up a return appointment.

This week we talked to a lot of people and only one of them wasn't nice (he wasn't rude, but he wasn't nice.)
It's because of Easter and it's warming up here.

People are always nicest right before the holidays.

So the one rudeish guy, haha, went like this:

*knock*

*door opens*

GUY: Hi, how are you?
US: Good.

GUY: We're not interested. Happy Easter.

*door closes*

That was it.

We just laughed and walked to the next door.

On Saturday, we helped a former sort some stuff in his garage and him and his mom surprised us and came to church!

We also have a family who is on and off active who's 10 year old boy wants to be baptized and we're going to start teaching him.

He came to church too!

Sister Watko met this guy before I got here, and we've been trying to see him again, but he's never home.

HE CAME TO CHURCH!!!
He scooted out before we could talk to him, but we left a note on his door and he texted us, so we've been in contact with him.

We also had 3 less actives at church, two of which I have really high hopes for :)

I'm so excited for what this week has in store for us!
We're seeing so many miracles and I'm so excited :)

This church is true!
I know it with all my heart.

I'm so grateful to be doing the Lord's work and I know it's true.

I know that my Savior lives and loves me, and I am so grateful for His loving, atoning sacrifice.

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Love,

Sister Heywood
