Family and Friends,
How's everyone hanging in there! I hear things are starting to get lifted as far as restrictions wise, but we are still pretty lockdown here in Maryland. Though we are in stage 2 as of right now, so getting a little better. The "rumor has it" by many people that we aren't going to go back to church here at least until October, because the virus has been really bad here! So we're hoping that we will be able to return sooner than that!
But this week has been super awesome! We were able to find this man named Aaron and he is so amazing!!!! We have been in contact with him the past couple of weeks, but because of his crazy schedule we haven't been able to teach him until yesterday! But he is so awesome! He remembers so much of what the missionaries taught him in the past and he was saying that he was reading and praying everyday, and even after the missionaries stopped passing by he read, but after a while he stopped. And so over the phone he started apologizing to us for not reading more! So we are super excited for him!
Also milestone today, made my first contact without my mask on!
What had happened was we were waiting in the walmart parking lot for the other Elders who we share the car with and this man approaches us, and because there was no one around at the time I had taken my mask off! But then he came up and started talking to him about what we believe and he felt really bad because he had chased missionaries off his property in the past and so he was coming over to apoligize! And then he asked if we had any literature, and so we asked if he wanted a Book of Mormon and he said no, so we gave him a restoration pamphlet instead! Super awesome dude!
I love you all and have a blessed week!
