Week 80--Surprise contacts

Hello, everyone! 

We were able to go on exchanges with one of the missionaries fresh out of the MTC, Elder Swenson. He's a pretty solid missionary, and so is his companion Elder Brookhart. We had some good things happen because of that.

One of those things was an older couple:

I decided we should go out into the boonies and find a person on the ward roster we don't know. I picked one and we headed out on about a 25 minute drive. When we got there I knocked on the door and one of the people inside waved me into their home. We came in and I assumed they were the members we were looking for, but apparently those people moved to Oregon. These people aren't members. We sat down and talked with them and had a really good time talking about the scriptures and the gospel. They said that we can come back any time, so we will come back and teach them about the restoration!


Serious faces 

Also, one of our investigators is doing quite well. President Loveland says there is always a baptism in the Area Book, in other words, there is always someone who can be taught who is ready for the gospel if you look through your records of people who used to meet with missionaries.

Anyways, like I said she is doing well and we started helping her to quit smoking, and she's excited to do that. She's also been reading the Book of Mormon. I'm so glad she's accepting these things into her life and that she's trying to become happier. 

Love Elder Rodgers
