Off the topic of the weather and moving on to more important matters! It's been a good week. We've been on a few team-ups with some of the sisters and they are fantabulous. I continue to be amazed by their endurance and their love, and their amazing site skills. I feel like I learn more from them they I could ever hope they learn from me.
Here's a cool experience of a new man we are teaching named Mike. He is the boyfriend of a less active we work with and recently moved back in. He was taught by the sisters a while ago, but lost contact because he moved out. He has a strong testimony of everything, but struggles with certain things, which he is willing to work through. We brought up baptism to him and suggested a date and his jaw dropped to the floor and kept saying, "I'm speechless." We didn't have a clue as to why he was speechless, but then he confessed, "That day is my birthday!!" He was close to being moved to tears. Though a very simple thing, it was very heartwarming to see him get so excited. He really does want this for himself and has such a desire to change his life around.
Online has been pretty cool lately. Last year Sister Murdock got in contact with a man from Somalia (a.k.a where the pirates are) who was Christian and wanted to learn more. Unfortunately she went to Buffalo and lost contact with him. Then the other day she randomly thought of him and decided to email him and lo and behold, he still wanted to learn! We had a lesson over Skype. His name is Osman, and he's pretty dang cool. The Lord definitely provides miracles online.
The mission has also been approved to use Facebook, so I'll be back on Facebook soon! I'll write more about the guidelines and such in a status, but don't freak out when you may see my button occasionally be green on chat :)
