Hey gang! This week on #whatsmysnack we have the Elder Thorpe version of Dutch oven potatoes (without the Dutch oven). Sunday morning I chopped up some potatoes, onions, bacon, and chicken then threw it all in the crockpot with some butter, cheese, salt and pepper. Let that baby cook for a couple hours while we were at church learning more of the good word, being spiritually fed, then Elder Gibby and I grubbed!
This week was pretty sweet! We worked real hard and had some results! We found 3 awesome new investigators named T, D, and R! On Thursday we stopped by an investigator who hasn't been in contact with us and she wasn't home so we felt like we should knock a few doors in the area. Two houses in T opens the door and let's us right in, we teach her about the book of mormon and she invites us to come back on Saturday. Friday we stop by the investigator again and once again she wasn't home, but a guy was in front of T house washing his car so we stopped to talk with him. We quickly found out that D lives with T and he's her cousin. So Saturday we came for the lesson and R, D's fiance, joined in! They all were super interested and participated a lot as we taught them the restoration. They want to keep learning and we are super excited for them!
We had a super awesome experience with brother and sister P, sister P is a less active and brother P is a non-member we have been teaching forever. It's been really frustrating because we have invited them to church a hundred times and they always came up with excuses not to come. On Saturday night we had a lesson, that the bishop came with us to, but it fell through. Bishop asked me if there was anyone we should stop by and, even though the patrons had canceled our lesson for early that day, we felt like we should stop by. So we did and we talked with them for a while and invited them to church. They had the excuse that they needed to reorganize their dining room and move a bunch of boxes, so we told them we would do it for them right then and there. We did and as we left we invited them again and they said they would try to come. Sunday morning we were kinda disappointed when the meeting was starting and none of our investigators had come to church. Just then in walks brother and sister P!! It was such a beautiful sight, and they both loved it. After church sister P said, "I already want to come back next week!" The Lord definitely works miracles!
Life is good in Glockford, the weather is warming up, people are already starting to BBQ and it makes it easy to contact them! I'm praying it keeps warming up! The church is true!
