This week has been good. We've done lots of recontacting people and some teaching to those that seem genuinely interested. During this week we've also ran into lots of white people around our apartment. It seems like there's a group of tourists staying in the homes of some of our neighbors. We also ran into a random Greek couple that seemed very excited to see white people that speak english. They asked us for directions. We also had exchanges on Wednesday where I went with our zone leader Elder Orozco. While I was with him we did lots of finding and near the end of the day we found two people that seemed interested. He was surprised at how difficult it was to find anyone that seemed to have "any light in them." Luckily we did find two middle aged women that even agreed to go to church and that they did. We had a miracle of five investigators at our sacrament meeting! That's after a 10 week drought of PSA (people sacrament attendance). Of the two people we found they each brought one of their kids with them who are both old enough to be taught. The fifth person was the sibling of a current member. Oh also we just learned that my companion Elder Powell is being transferred and I'm getting a new companion named Elder Gajete. He's my first Filipino companion in a long time and he's kind of a new missionary. I'll meet him tomorrow.
Also during my personal study I liked these two connected scriptures below. I also suggest that everyone read Judges chapter 3 in order to learn about a "very fat man" named Eglon.
1 Nephi 21:16 -
16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
Zechariah 13:6 -
6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
