#37- Football = New Investigator

This week has been really busy. Nothing too crazy happening, just out on a bike all day trying to stop by to visit everybody in our area to meet them. It's been really tiring. Yesterday after Stake Confrence we were out in the rain, cold and wet. The perfect day to be a missionary....NOT! It wasn't that bad, I just like to make it sound worse than it really was, but I was wet and cold.

We've been teaching a lot of investigators here, it has been very nice. One is on date for June 19th her name is Candice and is 22 years old. She has been investigating the church for more than a year. She knows she wants to get baptized, she just needs to work on a few things first.

Something really cool that happened this week. We were going down to the little part of Detroit, that's in our area, to see an investigator that we have, but she called when we were right down the street and said that she had to cancel. A little disapointed we went on our way and found some kids playing football in their yard. We watched for a little bit and then they invited us to play, so we did, it was lots of fun. We got to play a little bit and teach them how to play better and after we played, we gave them all a card and told them a little about Jesus. The cool thing about this is that we had to go home after and on the way home we stopped and talked to Greg, who is now investigating the church. If we didn't stop to play football with those kids we would have never meet Greg. It's awesome to see how the Lord works in our daily life, and the promptings that he gives us.
