Another Wonderful Week....

My Zone and District at the Oklahoma Temple

This past week was awesome! Elder Quijada and I got to go on splits with the members a couple times unexpectedly. I went with Brother Woodhouse (we call him Studhouse) to a lesson with a new investigator, Mary, and her 8 little kids from the ages of 1-10. She is a single mother and raises all her kids and goes to school! The lesson went very well, we taught her the Restoration. Meanwhile, Elder Quijada went out with Brother Kunkel (a  member that I call Uncle Kunkle) to one of our potential investigators named Preston. He wants to come to church so they discussed church and the Book of Mormon. Preston told Elder Quijada he knows what the Book of Mormon is cause his grandma used to read it to him every night til she died in a plane crash before she was baptized. Elder Quijada read from Alma 40 about Spirit Paradise and Preston remembered his grandma reading that to him and thanked Quijada for bringing that memory back to him. He came to church Sunday and really enjoyed it!

On Friday at District Meeting I trained on asking inspired questions and listening. I shared the fiery sermon when I was talking about listening and being okay with silence. It was great:)

Love you!
