We also had a new missionary training, for all the missionaries in their first transfer and the Puerto Rico missionaries. We practiced teaching the lessons and they told us a ton of information.
We found a mom & daughter on Saturday night, Maria y Melany. Melany is about 12. We taught the restoration and they seemed super interested and said they would read 3 Nephi 11. Woo! It's always nice when people invite you inside, because it doesn't happen too often here.
We're also still teaching David y samuel. I think they're definitely our most hopeful investigators. We taught about the Book of Mormon and samuel was like "I think I know about that, we learned about it in church on sunday" and he proceeded to tell us the whole story about the Book of Mormon perfectly, including the lost 116 pages. And he's only 10!
One useful thing I did get out of the training was that I need to be bolder. In this mission they don't count someone as a "New investigator" until they have been invited to baptism, to try to get us to invite on the first contact. SO that night, we were talking to a guy outside and we taught the restoration in like 5 minutes and I kept feeling like I should invite him to baptism! So I did. And he was kinda hesitant but then he was like "I guess if I find out these things are true" so woo! The answer wasn't that great, but it was the first time I've done that in the first time talking to someone and it turned out ok! So from this, I've learned I need to be bolder and always follow the spirit when it tells me to say something :-)
We're continuing in the 90 day book of Mormon challenge and I just finished 2 Nephi! I really liked 2 Nephi 25. And all of it.
That's it for this week! I'm staying in Layton for another 6 weeks, with hermana bliss. Wooo!
Loves!!!
