Hermana Juliet Hansen - Finding People at McDonalds :)

Part of the e-mail Juliet sent us this week.



This week was good. We are still trying to find new investigators and we had a really interesting experience at McDonald's that led to two new investigators, ............... We had met up with a member for breakfast on Saturday to teach her granddaughter. We were sitting talking and this lady, .......... , keeps looking over at us. Basically staring at my companion. So Hermana Williams finally says hi to her and ............  says "how do you know Spanish so well?" So Hna G........ says "come on over and join us." So she sits with us and we chat about how we're missionaries and Hna G....... shares a story about how her granddaughter was healed by a blessing, etc. It was a really good conversation, which led to us getting an appointment to visit with them on Sunday. Well we had a lesson with them and it was awesome!! (.............) shared with us her story of how she got to be in the states and it was extremely powerful. As she was sharing the story the Holy Ghost pretty much filled the room. It was such a testament to me of how the Lord has prepared this lady to hear the Gospel. The things that have happened in her life have really helped her draw closer to God and want to do his will. When she said that she only wanted to do the will of God we smiled because all we really ask people to do is find out the will of God and do it (through reading the Book of Mormon, praying, etc.) I'm so excited to get to work with her!
 
That was the coolest thing to happen this week. We're still working on a lot of reactivation. We've looked at all the members in our area and we have a list of 50 families and 25 of them are inactive. We have a lot of work to do in our area.
