Mr. Bean and listening to the spirit

This week was filled with a bit of disappointments. All but one of our investigators didn't show for church. But it's alright. Let me share with you all the cool things that happened this week!

Mr. Bean

There is this guy that lives in our area who is just awesome. He calls himself, Mr. Bean haha Every day he goes to the places people cook chips/fries and he takes all the skins of the peeled potatoes and carries them home in a wheel barrel, so he can use it for composting. Well two weeks ago was when we first met him, so we helped him carry his wheel barrel back to his house. And this guy really has a personality. haha So this Wednesday he saw us again. And this time he just wanted some company as he walked down the road with his wheel barrel full of potato peels. So we walk with him. But towards the end of our walk, Mr. Bean starts humming a tune. And then he started singing to us "I want to worship with you... When does your church start?" All while singing to this made up tune he had. haha we answer, and he just keeps singing "I'll be there." Then as we parted ways He sang "Goodbye my friends! Goodbye!" haha Mr. Bean is the best.

The Miracle of Listening to the Spirit!

Saturday was a pretty amazing day. We found 6 new investigators. But two of them came from a miracle!

Most of Saturday was a pretty busy day. And in our plans, we planned to visit and find the house of a potential investigator, Max only If, we had extra time during the day. Well the day ended and we were about to head home for the day. Then a thought came that we needed to visit Max. But we were already on our way home, and me and Elder Carpenter were pretty tired from the day. So we get to the road where we can get transportation, all at the same time Max keeps popping up in my head. We wait a bit, and no combies. Then finally a combie comes for us to go to our house, but... there was only enough space for one, so we couldn't take it. Then at that moment, I was like, Yep! Not supposed to go home now. That's my answer. We need to find Max's house. So we take off walking down the road to find this potential investigators house. Not even knowing if he's going to be home, where the house is, or if anything is going to come out of it. But the whole time I was like "Heavenly Father, something better come out of this." Because the walk to Max's house was not a close one. We finally get to section 6 and look for the house. We turn a street and then find it! But as we are walking to the house expecting Max, another person at the house yells. "Elder Carpenter!" So we go over to the very house we were looking for and he says, "Remember me?" I met you guys about a week ago." It was Julius. Someone we just contacted. Then he starts to tell his wife to set up chairs for us for us to teach. Then we tell him if he knew someone by the name of Max that stays here and say we were looking for him. Then he says that he doesn't know anyone by that name that stays around here. So we just proceed to teach Julius and his wife. But as Bro. Julius was talking he was telling us that he just moved here into the house with his wife really recently. And was surprised that we found his house. We taught him and his wife a powerful message about the Plan of Salavation and set another appointment to meet. It was awesome! Super glad that I followed the promptings of the spirit. And I know that God will tell us exactly where to be.

I hope that all of you had a great and wonderful week this week! I love you all! Until Next Time!

Love,

Elder Parco
