Another great week has passed and gone! Mother's Day included!
So last week on Thursday we had another opportunity to play some basketball with an investigator, and some other potentials, but this time it was planned haha. His name is Joe, and he contacted us after our last tournament and said he was wanting to grow his testimony! So we talked to him for a little bit before we played, then got balling. He is a super mature guy, and is a very loyal husband and father. Hopefully he continues to have the desire to get baptized! We're stoked because we got another basketball tournament on Friday with him and a bunch more people!
Monday night we went and found another court with a bunch of guys!! We balled up!! There was one guy we had on our team who literally looked like a great value LeBron James!! He had the beard and all!! He was a very cocky man and didn't have the best mouth! It kinda sucked playing on his team but everyone else was sweet and should be coming on Friday!!
Sunday was real crazy. We already knew we were going to hit our standards for investigators at church, but a miracle happened as we were getting people into the chapel. A less active sister and her investigating husband and kids walked in the door. The one we also gave her baby a blessing a couple weeks before.Elder Green and I had our jaws dropped to the floor. So with Alycia and her family, then Rachelle and her family, we had a total of SIX investigators at church. That was crazy!! We even set up a time to go do service on Monday, we went and continued the gutting of his house! It was pretty nasty! The owners before built it terribly so basically we ripped everything out and we got to rip the floor out even because they are starting from the ground up!!
Sunday was also the day to call home, and that was awesome. A member of the ward let us use his basement and WiFi, so that was really nice. I got to see all my nieces and nephews, my siblings, and most important mom and dad haha. It was so comforting, even for the short time I had, it was definitely a motivation booster. The first time it was honestly a little hard but man it got a lot better and even after it just felt soo good!!
Yesterday we were finally able to get in and do some service for a less active, DANNY BOY!! He's awesome, we see him quite a bit and asks us questions about the ward all the time, but has a struggling testimony so we keep in close contact with him. But we helped him wack some weeds around his house, and took out some boxes to the recycling plant. After we did that he took us to get some ice cream at this place called Dairyland. We all got shakes, and I got a strawberry shake and to be honest it was good, but no where near as good as Taco Amigo!!
Today we had a zone activity clear down in Powell OH! We played a bunch of games in a wet yard and BBQed! It was pretty fun but made for a long pday!!
Well love you all! This week has been pretty awesome and the sprit has been strong I have received some great revelation! Life has been good and I hope yours is as well!
Love you much!
Love Elder Smoot!
