A Week of Excitement
Hola y'all!!
So it has been a great week here in Hammond!
So the first cool/weird thing that happened this week happened on Tuesday
when we were down working in Ponchatoula. We were getting ready to
drive home and on our way through a neighborhood we got flagged down by a
guy in his yard. He asked if we had time for the ministry and so we
pulled in. Barney and I were both like, "oh crap, we are about to get
bible bashed." That is what usually happens when someone waves us down.
So we were getting ready to be bashed and when we get there all that the
guy wanted to tell us is how much respect he has for what we do! He
told us that he knows how many people slam the door in our face or are
jerks to us and he wanted to make sure that we had at least one good
experience that day! It was so awesome!
Second cool thing that happened this week was that on Thursday and Friday
we had exchanges with the Denham Springs ZL's. I got to stay in Hammond
and Elder Hall came here with me while Elder Barney went to Denham with
Elder Orison. Elder Hall and I are pretty good friends from serving
around each other in Opelousas my last transfer there. It was awesome to
get to serve with him again and to ask him all about Opelousas and how
everything is going!
And last but not least the best news of all! Three of our Spanish Investigators agreed to be strive to be baptized on the 30th of June!!
They are all such awesome people and they would be great additions to
the church! Eivar already has such a strong knowledge and understanding
of the Gospel! It is so cool to see them learn and grow!
Well that is about it for this week! I hope all is going well at home and that y'all feel the Lords hand in your life!
Con amor,
Elder Nathan Stoddard
