Devon - week 58

We had another lesson with Veronica and taught the gospel of Jesus Christ.  We set a date for Veronica baptism on the 15th of Aug.  She is super awesome. She has not been to church yet so we challenged her to come even though she has work on Sunday. She said she would ask to get some Sundays off and told us that she wants to be more committed to the church.  Most of the time we ask people to church they give us some excuse why they can't come.  It was quite astonishing when you don't get a similar response to a question that you ask most people especially the church Question.  I was so happy to hear that she had a desire to do what is right and feel the spirit all the time.  The only thing that is a hindrance is that she needs two Sundays off to go to church and the funny sad thing is that her main fellow-shipper that works with her, works on some Sundays. 

Side note they changed all of the bishopric last week.  So there will probably a lot of changes in the ward these next weeks. I am excited for leadership exchanges coming up this week!! 

Really cool week.  We were trying to go and contact Monica a referral from Bishop for the 5th time and as we were about to cross the street a man yelled out to us a said "Hey Missionaries." That’s is always a foreshadow to a good conversation.  We went over and to our surprise he (David Page) told us his life story/conversion story. Then he went on a rampage of how great missionaries are and the good they do across the world.  We basically stood there hearing his testimony about the Book of Mormon and other Scriptures. It was a really cool experience.  We invited him to come to church especially a fast and testimony meeting so that he can share his testimony there.   

We also cover a Married student ward but the work is really slow but I am excited to announce that we contacted a Less Active and they invited us to come back!!!  That has not happened since I have been here in this area and we got a ward missionary Leader in that ward.
