Whoops, I definitely forgot to send an email last week I am so sorry yall!! Ima make this email quick as I'm very unmotivated to write today too.
So run down on the work so far, I am so so so so so sad to say that our amazing miracle friend Michael ended up heading another direction for his religious life. I honestly have never seen such an elect person drop us that hard before. So we were pretty upset about that. He actually ghosted us for quite some time until a couple days ago we were out street contacting at Walmart and he pulls up! We were then able to talk to him and he told us his path was different. We did however send him a talk to explain the Book of mormon and the importance of it and how we don't worship the Book but the Book points us to worship God and follow Jesus christ. Maybe that'll humble him and change his idea of what is the purpose of life.
We have a lot of other people who we are finding but aren't really keeping commitments. It's been rough in that way but we do have this one friend who still just needs a miracle and he could get baptized. He comes to church every week and brings his kids too. His name is Eric so if yall could please pray for a miracle for him that would be amazing!!
Our wards are pretty snazzy still with missionary work, Spotsylvania ward is insane with their dedication to the work. They've scheduled lessons for us and set up appointments with members for us. They always make sure we have members on lessons so that is amazing!! They care so much about the work I just pray that we find someone elect and ready to recieve the gospel in their area. As for the other ward we have lots and lots of help from leaders. Our bishop has basketball nights every Tuesday and Thursday which we go share messages at and our bishop has said that there are 4-5 people who want to join us for church so eventually we hope to see some success with that.
As for everything else, we are doing great! We had exchanges this past week where we got kicked out of like everywhere. It was pretty funny actually. We were at Walmart and my ZL who I was with was talking to this guy having a great convo and some worker just comes up to him, told him to leave but he just brushed her off and said one second. Then 5 minutes later she yells across the parking lot to leave and the guy he was talking to started yelling back at the worker!! It was so funny. Being backed up by our friends is the best.
This week should be good, we have interviews with our president this week which I'm excited for, I'm getting closer and closer to the end which I am so excited, nervous and sad for not gonna lie hahah! But I love yall, keep being awesome! Stay strong to what you know is right and you'll never fall away from the light!!
