Week 97, August 24 2020
Hey y'all! It's been another pretty busy week over here in Norwich Connecticut! We once again started to teach 4 new friends, that is, two weeks in a row now, it's pretty unheard of for the area. But hey, God has been able to guide us to those who are ready to hear the Gospel!
We are currently teaching 9 friends! When I got here we were teaching 5 with two areas Now we only cover 1 area. Earlier in the week we met with Brother Mosley, and he had a pretty awesome conversion story. He gave us permission to share it with our family and friends back home, so that will be my message this week so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Earlier this week we had interviews and it went well, no big changes. I will be staying here in Norwich and Elder Thurman will be going up to Cambridge and starting a Tagalog program. That is so cool! I also got stuck under my bed when I went to reach for the extension cord. We also started service this week, I am so excited to do service again! Last but not least when I was in Newport Rhode Island, I taught a friend of a member named Dante. On the 22nd of August he chose to be Baptized! He is now a member and I am so proud and happy for him!
Brother Mosley has been a member for about 5 years and he is part of a business that sells cleaning items. One time he had to be at an event in Utah to give a talk, and he lived with another person in the company. While driving around he had a prompting to look out the window and he saw the Salt Lake Temple. He then asked about it and shortly after they parked and he went to go see it. At the time it was gated and he was confused because he thought it was a church and thought " if this is a church why is it gated?". The man he was with just so happened to be a member and helped explain it to him. This member then invited Brother Mosley to join him and his family for Church that Sunday. He liked it so much that the member asked if he wanted to learn more. A week or so later after Brother Mosley returned home the missionaries came and they taught him the lessons and eventually he was Baptized! He got talking to another worker in this company and he was surprised that he chose to be baptized, but hey, to sum it up God works in mysterious ways! Hope you enjoy his conversion story!
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
