Hey Everyone,
These last few weeks have been pretty crazy due to the holidays, and I have had a lot of surprises come this month. To start, we had a lot of people seemingly come out of nowhere and want to learn more about our faith, which is super awesome for us. A couple we are teaching is still going strong, and we are hoping that we will be able to help them grow closer to Jesus Christ in any way we can.
We did have a pretty solid potential pop up, but sadly he has been avoiding us and there is not a whole lot we can do for him since we can't even meet with him. Luckily we are still able to pray for him.
We had an awesome encounter with the Persian Culture. We had set up a return appointment with a couple and they welcomed us back with open arms and when they invited us inside we instantly knew that we were in for an out-of-the-country experience. We gave them a Book of Mormon in Farsi, took off our shoes and tried to teach them (Notice the word tried). We had an awesome conversation with them, but they did most of the talking since they kept putting snacks in front of us. They also put tea in front of us to have and luckily it was herbal tea because, I have to admit, I got scared for a minute. We had finally got through all the snacks and we were going to try to talk a little about the Restoration when all of sudden they stood up and told us dinner was ready.... It was 8 o' clock at night.... Well we had a second dinner and even though we were not able to teach them everything about the Restoration of the church we still answered a lot of their questions. I am a little hesitant to go back there especially when I have already eaten a lot at the dinner before.
Your friend, brother, and son,
