09/21/2009 - Week 19

Thanks for your prayers! We had some good success this week. We were teaching a brief lesson on the restoration at a dinner appointment and commited each of them to pray and look for opportunities to share the gospel with one person. One of the girls, who we thought was a member of the family, was actually a nonmember friend, who was living with them. We invited her to hear our lessons, she accepted. We will be teaching her today! We also, taught the first lesson to a gay rights activist, we didn't know it at the time. Lets just say, we got to the end of the lesson, and he let us know how horrible he thought our church was. We also got to start teaching a 21 year old, less active guy. He is working to gain his testimony. Things are good! Thanks again! I love the warm weather, most of the time. Somedays, it is kinda hot to be biking, but what ever. Elder Queen likes to keep our apartment a refrigerator, so i enjoy the warm outside. I think I am a little like you, Mom; you would love it out here!
