This week was pretty busy with driving all around Iowa but we had some pretty cool things happen
We were on exchanges early in the week and ran into this lady while we were knocking an apartment building. We were knocking on a door, but we saw her walking down the hall with her baby in a stroller, so we bailed on that door and talked to her. We went up and started talking to her, and had a super short restoration lesson. I think we found her on a Friday, and she ended up coming to church on sunday. This week was a pretty frustrating one for me, we kept having really weird problems popping up and it was good to have God give us that chance to meet that lady. We met her friday, she came to church on Sunday, and now she's preparing to be baptized. We could have very easily watched her pass and we probably would have forgotten about it pretty quick, but She needed us and God knew it.
We also got to go back to Des Moines for a baptism yesterday. When I was there we had been working with a kid named Christopher and his less active family, and he finally got baptized. Going back to Des Moines was a really neat experience. I got to see 2 past companions, a whole bunch of members from the branch, and some members from Ottumwa who drove some other missionaries to them. Des Moines was a pretty rough area for me, but it was cool to talk to all the members who I miss so much and see Christopher take such a big step.
It was a pretty hard week but God let us see some success. I love serving a mission
Other than that, we narrowly avoided a tornado, planted some onions, and burnt a slice of bread in the microwave
I love you all a lot!
