Well to start of this letter I will have you all know that this was a wonderful week. We had transfer calls and I am so happy that I get to stay in my area! This will make it at least seven and a half months in my first area. I am way excited to stay here because there is some work going on here that I think will take off and we will be able to have some success with.
Heavenly Father always answers prayers!!!!! Our teaching pool has dropped to about 3 families this week with some new rules coming out. Elder Amadi and I decided we have to find more people to teach or this will be an extremely hard transfer! We have been praying like no other for people to teach. On Saturday we called the Zone Leaders to see if they could give us any good ways to find people, they gave us the basics and asked if we have been praying for it and of course we said yes. They didn't really know what to do or have any suggestions. Then literally five minutes after we got off the phone we got a text from so other missionaries telling us they have been teaching some people online and they want to learn more. Luckily they live in our area. Saturday night we decided to go visit this referral and see if we could start teaching them. This referral lives in the middle of no where (that's not saying much because everyone in our area lives in the middle of no where). It was super awkward at first because they were all outside just starring at us. We went to meet them, they turned out to be super nice people and wanted to come to church on Sunday. They couldn't make it but all went well and we are seeing them on Tuesday! The way that all happened was amazing and only could have been done through the power of God! It was just another way to show that God is always there listening to our prayers and that he will always answer them!
Keeping on the same subject with Prayer we have been praying continually for Fidel and Isabel they really are incredible people and have a desire to follow Christ. This week they have read all of Matthew and from the Book of Mormon. They are doing what it takes to be baptized and be spiritually prepared. As I go over there and visit with them I think to myself you guys are incredible. Last night we committed them to read just one chapter from the Book of Mormon in preparation for the next lesson and there response was "Just one chapter, thats so easy!" Wouldn't it be nice if every single member of the church said that. I can read just one chapter because that is easy! They seriously go above and beyond in all things. They are an example to me in all things, they really have a desire to learn more about Christ!
Thats all for this week! I want you all to know this church is true and that we are in the middle of and exciting time! As our mission president always says... "Don't get left out of the future" He is referring to missionary work. I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week!
Love,
Elder Williams
