Dearest Family and Friends,
HOWDY!
Sorry I didnt write last week. The internet went out. Gay.
But whatever because this week was so dang fast. I was gonna write you all and tell you about how last week was the best week of my mission... SIKE! this week was definitely the best week of my mission. Last week we taught 35 lessons and had 21 news, this week less news, 16 but more lessons, 36, and now we have 18 people progressing. Im loving the mission right now and time is flying! Were giving it all weve got. But I wanna give more!
I dont have many stories. Just one.
We found this couple, Mary and Joseph, (and they have a son named Jesus its super ironic I love it) Theyre an elderly couple. Maybe 60 years old. THEYRE SO DANG SMART!!! They go to an evangelic church, but they didnt give us any of that crap of "we already go to a church" they listened attently and asked so many questions during the first lesson. Ive never taught the restauration with that many details in my life. When Joseph read us a few verses from the book of mormon, he was on the verge of tears!!! Ive NEVER felt the spirit so strong in a lesson in my whole life. Easily accepted a baptismal date for the 8th of august. We went back to see them yesterday, and you can tell someone had come to their house to talk smack about the church, because they didnt seem too excited to see us. But whatever, Ive come to see that as missionaries we do a lot of condemning hahaha but it doesnt bother me. I just felt great to know that God trusts us enough to testify of our words as strong as he did. So it was a huge testimony builder for me. We'll have to see this week whats good with them.
Well. I love you all!
Always,
Elder Hodson
