Hey everyone!
So this week we went knocking doors in a small town called Salida. Most of the doors we knocked on opened and almost everyone had a laughable excuse as to why they would not like to hear a message about how we can be happy, have the Lord in our lives and how He loves us.
I don't want to sound like I am making fun of any of these good people, but sometimes we as missionaries are just a little smarter than our outward appearance may imply. We knocked on one lady's door, talked to her for a little bit about the Christmas decorations that flooded her front yard, and asked her if she would be willing to pull up a video called “Light the World” on her phone. She hesitated for a bit, and then as if the life size Santa Claus balloon in her front yard gave her the inspiration for a good excuse, asserted that she was a Jehovah's Witness, and that she respects all religions and just wanted hers to be respected as well. She didn't give us a chance to speak back as she closed the door.
Later in the week, we were able to find a new investigator who the english elders gave us. He's a really cool guy and has a lot of really sincere questions. We are excited to be working with him for the next little bit.
The new area's great! The ward is awesome and the Bishop is fantastic. I already really miss Stockton but Modesto is pretty cool. Not as much work here but that means I just have to work a little harder. I know it's the Lord's will so I'm happy to do it.
Love you all!!
