But this week was super cool! We were able to go on splits with three members from each ward this week! Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. We were able to go out and try to visit less-actives! It was super sweet!! We saw some really good experiences, and the members were able to report on those in Priesthood, and that has inspired the rest of the ward to give us more trust. We really got a glowing review and the member was really excited, and we had two members ask to go on splits with us! While visiting a part-member family with a member on splits, we met the non-member husband first. His name is Gary. He opened the door, saw two white shirts and said "what are you selling?". So happily, I said "SALVATION". He said "Not interested" And started to shut the door! So I quickly asked for his wife and he went and got her. Now this situation is really funny, because from their front door, you can see the church.... It is about 30 feet away....... So she appologized for not going. We told her how we weren't here to specifically get her back to church, but to come and practice teaching with her. She lit up and said "I would really love that!". We got to talk about setting it up, and it was really neat. We had just about finished talking and I asked if we could help in anyway, she said she could ask her husband. So she got him to come on out and we talked with him for about 20 minutes. We ended up getting a short synopsis of his life, offered help multiple times, and invited him to participate in our lessons. Once we explained the practicing, he really opened up to us about his religious beliefs. It was super cool! He agreed to take part in the lessons as well!!
So we are seeing things move forward here. Beyond the splits, we were able to meet with so many less-actives on top of that. We are getting more and more appointments every week. It's kinda strange though, every appointment with investigators canceled this week? And they all ended up being either sick, or out of town for church? So really odd with that. But Fallon is a good place. People are still worried about it flooding here. We were able to go to a dairy today and feed some cows! I really love this place and I love this gospel.
We got to give the message of the Restoration at another missionaries baptism, and it was so cool to be able to testify of the truth it. That we have a living prophet. That God loves us today just as much as he loved the people 2000 years ago. That The Savior has helped us to overcome the grave and sin. In that environment, just after a baptism was performed, the spirit was so strong. I love this work with all my heart.
Happy Fathers Day!
