September almost over?!? Can't wait for General Conference; New investigator - Ronaldo

Dear Family,

Another week has flown by!!!  Can you believe that September is almost over???  I'm super excited because it's almost October and that meansss....GENERAL CONFERENCE!!!  Best week of the year, I LOVE it!  Sister Rojas and I have been counting down the weeks for a while now, and turning on MoTab whenever we feel like it's still too far away.  :)  

This was not planned, just coincidence that we all wore light blue

This week was good...we are still hunting down new investigators, and found a few great people this week!  

We met a young man while contacting referrals.  His name is Ronaldo, and he lives in the house in front of the one that we were looking for.  So really, we met him by accident, but I know that the Lord was guiding us!  He is...well, not your typical investigator.  He told us that his mom died a few years ago, and right now he's living completely alone in his house.  He doesn't have a job, isn't going to school, and just stays at home all day.  I just feel so sad to see how much he's struggling, and I pray that he will accept the gospel and be able to turn his life around.  He went to church with us on Sunday, and I think he enjoyed it....it's hard to know, because he isn't very talkative. :P Afterwards we visited him with a ward missionary couple, and taught him the Restoration.  When we invited him to pray about our message, he refused at first, saying that he never prays.  We testified of the power of prayer, how our Heavenly Father really loves us so much and wants us to talk with Him through prayer...I think it's still a little bit new for him, and he's slowly strengthening his faith, but at the end of the lesson he said the closing prayer (with a little help and encouragement)!  :)  Anyways, it's going to be interesting to see how he progresses.  I just hope he can feel how much God loves him, even through all the challenges he is facing in his life.  I hope we can help him to realize that!

But that was our week...not a lot of news.  Next week will be transfers.  :(  I don't know what's going to happen!  Aaaahhh!!!  Stay tuned.

Love you guys!  Have a greeeeeeeeaaattt week!

Love, 

Sister Gee
