So a crazy thing happened this morning! We went out of our apartment to load up our car for the day, and DAVIN LYMAN(Chandler's first companion) came up and gave us hugs and said hello! His parents were with him and it was just crazy. I wan't expecting it and it was awesome to see him again! Also pretty strange to see him in street clothes...
We had a really neat thing happen this week. Two weeks ago we were contacting on campus and this lady said hello Elders (which usually freaks us out). In a very short 45 second contact we learned that her name is Rachel Mallon, she had just started her freshman year, she was from Vegas, and she hadn't been to church since living at home. We got her number and then she had to run off. This past week we met with her and two other sisters from the ward and she connected super super well with one of them! They became fast friends and have a lot of the same backgrounds. Rachel came to church this Sunday with that new friend, and met just about everyone I the ward at the linger longer after church! She participated in the lessons, met the Bishop, and is now integrated into the ward! What also was good is that her name was on a list of less-actives that the Bishop wanted us to find Her phone number was wrong on the list and her address was incomplete. So there would've been no other way to find her except for the way we did The Lord truly provides a way!
We've seen other miracles this week too. We have an investigator who told us yesterday at church that he would like to be baptized this weekend. So we shall see how he does with the interview questions tonight. So that might be happening. His name is Robert.
But the work is moving along in this half of the YSA ward. We are seeing good things happen here. Reno is just a great place to be a missionary. I've been able to perform to baptismal interviews in a week, and Elder Wegelin has performed one. So the missionaries around us are doing great in their own areas!
We are on what the ward lovingly calls the "YSA diet". We don't get fed a ton here, but they just called two people to specifically be the dinner people for the missionaries. So we will see how that goes!
I love all y'all and each y'all!
Elder Miner
