Week70

Hey all

Pretty good week. We got lots done this week, we went and did a lot of door knocking. We will be meeting with Bishop soon to talk about missionary work. Sheila is doing great, we gave her a 4 week plan to cut down on her coffee drinking. So far she's doing great. She is going from 3 cups a day to 0 cups with in the 4 weeks, so we will see how it goes.

Interesting story: Elder Cahoon and I were craving some dominoes pizza one day. We drove to 3 different addresses on the GPS and there were no shops there. So we were pretty frustrated. We decided to call a member to ask for an address. 

On the other side, Jo - the person we called - was having a real estate agent come to her place to check out her house. The Agents name is Dave. Dave's sister used to be Jo's agent, but he replaced her. Going back a while, Jo had an impression to give Dave's sister a Book of Mormon. Jo didn't know why she felt prompted to but did it any way. 11 days later Dave's sister passes away. So when Dave is following up on his sisters customers, Dave and Jo got talking about his sister on the phone who passed away and he got really interested in learning about our church.

Now, that you have two sides of the story, here's how they connect. Jo just got off the phone with Dave and he is coming over to Jo's place; a few minutes later Elder Cahoon and I, with the intent to ask for an address for Dominoes pizza, call Jo. Jo, surprised that we called, told us to come immediately. So we go to her place and end up teaching Dave a little about the church and the Book of Mormon. Dave is now interested in learning.

 But the real miracle was Jo had put a frozen pizza in the oven, not knowing we were craving pizza. So when we got there, we had pizza and a lesson. 

So grateful that God used our craving for pizza to lead us to someone that is prepared to learn about His church.

Love Elder Westbrook
