This week was great as far as the work was concerned. We found a lot of new people. The most promising one was a married couple who literally got married a week ago and have been in their house for 5 days. We were out contacting and they were cleaning this nasty house out. We stopped and asked if they needed help and they got super excited. They are so cute and nice to each other it's really funny. We got to help them with their new house and they were so grateful. They are very faithful Christians already. I don't know the name of their church but it's just one of those small local ones who go do service missions in Africa and things like that. We did service for an hour then shared our conversion stories and then had to go so we haven't had a real full on lesson with them so idk how they will receive the message of a restoration but we will see how it goes. I loved the way they acted and treated each other though. You could definitely tell they were brand new at the whole marriage thing. For example, me and Pongbundit were working in the back garden with him and there were these weird bugs and he called her to come check out these cool bugs that we had unearthed and she ran over barefoot to see them and he got all concerned because he didn't want her bare feet to get hurt on the ground. So that was Alex and Hannah then we had a good teach with Marie and Anthony, the couple who lives far away, and it went really well. We spent an hour and a half teaching them the plan of salvation because they had so many good questions like when we said God created our spirits she asked, "if God created us then why are we all so different and why would something he create be so evil like Satan?" Yeah so they are really interested and they will be coming to church on Sunday.

Other than all that other stuff the rest of the week has been alright. There were definitely some ups and downs as there always are in life and in a hindsight way I am grateful for them because they make me always turn towards my Savior. No matter what is wrong in our life whether from our own personal mistakes, the mistakes of others, or just the crappy times in life bringing us down we can always turn towards him for comfort and peace. I love being reminded of that truth which is the most important part of the gospel.
