Grab A Hankie


Lance told us this story last week. WOW! That's my "little boy". I'm so proud of him!

"We were studying on Tuesday and I get a call from our landlord saying that there is a man that is looking for us. So we invite the man over (he has tattos and looks kind of hardened) and he tells me that he has been in every church possible but none of them are true. So we teach him the restoration. After the lesson I ask him to pray to God to know if this is true. Quietly he says, "No, I don’t need to." I get this weird look on my face and he tells me about this dream he had. He met a man dressed in all white that he didn’t know. He was talking to the man about God and said he couldn’t find the right church. The man showed him a picture of my face and said this man will teach you the truth and help you and your family get baptized in God’s true church. Then he woke up. He had been looking for me for a couple of days then finally tracked us down. It was crazy cool. We have been teaching him a lot this week".

This was my first week in Crabwood. We found a couple of sweet families that I'm hoping will stay cool. I love Crabwood but my heart is in Skeldon. I will want to come back here for sure some other time to serve. We found a sweet family named Persaud that will get baptized. They are a family of 5. We didn't have a baptism this week and really the area was not very good when I got here. They weren't really teaching anyone and it just wasn't a very good situation. But things happen for a reason, so we have had some great time this week to really find out what it is. It was hard for a little while just because of how hot it is but that's mission life. In church we had 6 people there investigator wise and I'm used to getting around 14 so that was hard. I know that things will pick up though.
