Dear Blog,
It has been great this week. Apparently the area I am in has been rough the last year because slacking missionaries have been in it for a long time but since I have been here my companion says the area is really picking up because we work together so well. He is from Queensland in Australia. He also said he has met Steve Erwin a couple times and apparently Steve Erwin is a heap more popular in America than Australia.
We have been getting a few new investigators and most people we work with are less actives. We went to the store the other day and a lady was sitting outside the store smoking and stopped us. She said she was baptised about 11 years ago and hadn't really wanted anything to do with the church. She invited us to come over and talk to her though. We stopped by the other day and she told us about how 3 weeks prior to seeing us at the grocery store, she had gotten on a train and a met a woman on the train who professed to be an angel.
The woman on the train told her that she didn't want her to keep committing suicide and doing many other bad things that she was doing because there were people waiting for her on the other side who weren't ready for her to come yet. The lady also told us that everyone else on the train seemed to be oblivious to the woman as if she was the only one who could see her. She also told us that the woman on the train told her that she needed to get back to church. It seemed a little far fetched for us to believe, but I guess god works in mysterious ways so whatever the case, she is letting us talk to her about church and we are going to do our best to get her reactivated.
I am having heaps of experiences here!
