Week 91

what up!

Memorial day was yesterday so we emailing on Tuesday. pretty exciting.

We went to a bbq at Sergios cuz he had the day off. Caught a little of

the Monaco Grand Prix but don't tell anyone ;) shhhhhhh

Man we were both sick this week so we don't have a whole lot to report on.

We have been working a ton with an excommunicated member. I don't

think I have ever wanted anyone to progress more in my live than him

right now. We got a super solid church commitment out of him for

sunday but then when church was a little into it we got a super long

text from him. it said something to the effect of, "Sorry Elders, I

don't think I can be forgiven. I don't know what to do anymore." but

really sad and heartfelt and we didn't know what to do.

We managed to catch him at home a little after church and had a crazy

talk with him.  It was hands down the most I have relied on the spirit my whole

mission. a lot was said and the spirit was felt. We are now going over

every night to make sure he has been reading at least a verse a day,

then we read a verse with him as well. Pretty awesome.  Now hes been

reading every day since and taking steps towards coming back! whoooooooo!
