We Found a Family

Hola amigos!
Transfers are this week but Hermana Ashcraft and I are both staying in Staunton :)

This week has been so great. On friday we had a day full of finding and we hadn't found any hispanics. We went back to this house that we had tried two times before but we decided to go at a different time a day and there was a car there! This guy from Cuba answered the door and we started talking to him and he knows someone that attends the english ward! We taught him the restoration and we used the dot analogy with the bible and the Book of Mormon.  (The bible is the center dot and there are a bunch of lines going through it and all the lines are different religions but then there is another dot that is the Book of Mormon and there is only one line that can connect the two dots and it is our church) He loved that analogy and was really excited about it. Well we were getting ready to leave and his family came home and they invited us in and we gave a Book of Mormon to his wife and daughter! Then Luis (the man) explained the dot thing to his wife! It was so awesome :) We have an appointment with them for  this saturday!

On Saturday we went on exchanges and Sister  Bate and I went and visited a less active, Cinthia. She hasn't been to church for about a year and while we were visiting she told us that she will be getting her drivers license this week so she will actually be able to come to church! It was so awesome :)

On Sunday, we had 4 people at church!!!! Arnulfo, Argelia, Jocelyn and Kimberly came! Argelia, Jocelyn, and Kimberly are investigators that have only come to church two times in the last 8 months. We didin't know if we were going to continue teaching them so we prayed and told Heavenly Father that if they don't come to church then we would stop teaching them... Well, I guess he didn't want us to stop teaching them.. haha! Then after church we went and tried 4 houses. 3 of them answered and we got 3 new investigators! They were all really interested in the Book of Mormon, 2 of them set a return appointment for wednesday and one for monday, yes the next day!!! It was so great. I can really feel God using us as instruments in His work!

Most of our success in this area is because of member missionary work. Its so important! Help out your missionaries! :)

I hope you have a great week:)

much love
