Dear family,
Happy Birthday to RANNNN!!!!
What a week we've had. Reallly exhausting. haha wow we're tired. But we saw
lots of incredible miracles and the Lord has been really merciful to us.
Sadly, Mavis and Henry have both been MIA all week. We haven't been able to
get a hold of Mavis and Henry just keeps setting rdvs but not coming to them.
Haha but those goes the missionary carousel...We'll keep trying.
Another Nigerian ami of ours, Collins, accepted a baptismal date of August
8th. Great news! but we'll have to go really slow with him to make sure he
understands everything.
The good news is that our dark horse ami Sarah has really stepped up. The
reason I say dark horse ami is because we weren't really sure about how things
would go with her at first, but we've taught her three times and they have all
been great rdvs. She is from Cameroon but is really cool and timid. Sunday would
prove to be a huge miracle.
We had invited her to church on Sunday and she said she'd come. It was 1h30
(when our church starts) and we were standing by the metro waiting for her. She
wasn't answering her phone. Collins arrived and so after waiting another 15
minutes we went to church. After the first hour, who comes out of relief society
but Sarah! Super happy. She told us that she at met a member on the metro who
had walked with her to church and then into Relief society. But wait the miracle
gets better. I talked to the member later, her name is Alicia, she is a cool
young adult. She always takes the bus to church on sunday and is there early,
but this sunday she was running late and had to take the metro. She was on the
same metro car as Sarah, and was READING her Book of Mormon...haha. So Sarah
approaches her and asks her if she's going to church and she says yes and they
walk there together. It was huge. The Lord really knows each one of us and He is
incredibly aware of each one of our needs. Sarah had a wonderful time at church,
the members ate her up and we'll be seeing her again on Tuesday.
Along with that we are now teaching Lianna three times a week. She is
russian and has struggles with her past. We teach her english for 45 minutes
then have 15 minute lesson for right now, because she hasn't jumped onto the
idea of coming to church and everything. But she wants and needs the Gospel in
her life. She keeps asking us why we are so happy all the time. And she doesn't
fully understand why the Savior is important yet. We'll work on that.
Today we spent the last P-day at presidents house with President and sr
Roney. It was so much fun. President Brown will be arriving tomorrow
night.
We had a wonderful dinner visit with the Bishop's family, the family
Chupin. Really cool young family, with two young kids. Had a bbq, with duck
shish kebabs...so good...I'm a big duck fan after my mission.
Looking forward to another week of work.Time is speeding by, but also the
next three weeks seem monstrous in front of me. Go big and THEN go home!
I love you all!
Elder Montgomery
