So where to even start? So I guess just like every other week there was a whole lot of stuff that happened, but also like every other week by the time Monday comes around I can hardly remember what we did yesterday. I will try my best to fill you in on the entire last week, but it might not be very good.
Last week one of the miracles that Elder Tanner and I saw were with two different people. One of them was an investigator, Ray, and the other was with a potential investigator, Elaura. We had been trying to have a lesson with both of them for a couple of weeks now, but we were having no success in contacting either of these people so we were about ready to drop both of them if we didn't get in contact with them that day. We went over and tried to see Ray first, and he was there sitting on his front porch just like he was the first day we met him! He said he was busy that day and that we couldn't talk to his right then, but as we were walking away he yelled at us and told us that he really liked the "native" aspect to the gospel, and that he wanted us to come back over with a member of the church that he had met. Then right after Ray we walked down the street to Elaura's home and knocked on her door. She opened the door! The other times that she had talked to us she would just tell us it wasn't a good time and to come back later, but that day she talked to us more and told us that she was sorry that we kept missing her at home, but that she really did want to come up to church with us and meet with us to find out more about the church. So all of that turned out really well!
One of the other cool things that we saw last week was with a less active member. So I don't know if I told you about this last week, but we ran into a less active member of the church here in Anadarko a couple weeks ago while we were in pizza hut one evening. This less active, Andrea, moved down here to Anadarko from Woodward last December time. Well at first thought, I didn't think that I knew who Andrea was because I had never met her before and I didn't recognize her name, but after talking with her and getting to know her better, I figured out the she is the same Andrea that Elder Birch and I spent so many hours trying to find (on top of all the time the Egnews spent trying to find her). Who would have ever thought that we would have finally found her 8 month after I left Woodward in a small town in the middle of no where. It is really crazy how it all worked out and I can say that I know it was the Lord that provided a way for us to finally find her.
Well thanks for everything that you guys do for me! Have a great week everyone!
Love Elder Woodward
