Elder Jared Greenburg: Another one bites the dust.

Hello!

This week was packed with Miracles! On Monday we had an appointment with our investigator Charles. He is Catholic and has been going to that religion for 5 years. We taught him the restoration about how the Book of Mormon came to be. All he could say was: "well, that makes so much more sense". Why would God have prophets all throughout the bible, and in ancient times, and then all of the sudden settle with Apostasy? He wouldn't, he loves us so much that he wants us to come back home someday. We put him on date to get dunked on the 28th of February. Hopefully he can see the waters of Baptism on that day. We were also able to put Josh on date for the 28th. He said he had been thinking a lot about baptism lately, and then two men in white shirts approached him. What a stud! hopefully he will be able to stop smoking by then. Love that guy!

So, we were knocking doors in Paola the other day. We were working dang hard too, most of the people had rejected because they said "I have a Bible...soooo..." It was very hard for me to see them turn away. Anyway, we decided to head back to our car when Elder Dastrup had this impression to knock on one last door, the house was in very poor condition. Peeling paint, dirt patches, toys, bikes, car parts, you name it. We knocked on the door and there were two teenage girls that answered the door, we introduced ourselves and explained why we were there. The one girl said: "uh, nah I'm good" and went back in the house. The other girl said: "actually I want to talk with you guys" We asked her if she has had any interest in religion. She said "no, but I have felt this impression to start looking for one" She started tearing up, and the spirit prompted me to say: "That's why we are here, are you ready?" She listened more intently than anyone I have ever taught. The Holy Ghost bore witness to this 16 year old girl. She said she was excited to know more, and she reads the BOM every night now. We are going to go back tonight and teach her the restoration. The Lord places people in our path. He trusts us with those that he has prepared.

I have the opportunity to teach a Bible class on Thursday night this week. I am so PUMPED! I'm teaching John Chapters 15 and 16. A lot of investigators attend bible class, it's a great fellowship opportunity. I have never understood the bible so much in my entire life!
