11/02/2009 - Week 25

Well, lets start with a quick sumary of the events of this week. We knocked on a lot of houses. Taught one lesson to a inactive lady. On Halloween night we got to hand out Brother Bollingers candy. That was pretty good, but when the candy ran out we didn't make a lot of friends, lol. It was good though. People knocking on our door for a change.
We are working hard, and even though we can't see the blessings in our ward, the Lord has blessed us by allowing us to have a small part in the work around our area. We showed up to church on Sunday, and there was a man we didn't recognize, in his 40's, in the back row. He is originally from Iran and has lived in 10, or so, other countries (i think that is what he said) before coming here. He has been searching for God and attends every church he finds. He sits down for the meetings and just listens to his feelings. And this is how he ended up in our church. He proceeded attended all 3 meeting blocks with us and afterwards with a smile on his face he said "Finally, I have found it!" He lives in Orange 2nd ward so Elder McEwan and Perrish went on splits to teach him that evening. He is going to be baptised on the 14th. We are being blessed for our efforts, and the Lord trusted us with Shawn. Things are good and that pretty much covers it all, so you are now in the loop.
