This week was great! After getting together with my new companion, Elder Schoeneman, we started the 3 hour drive back to Goshen on Tuesday. The weather was in the high 70's that day and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!! Sadly, we were driving all day, but the weather was good all week which has been a breath of fresh air.
When we got back to Goshen, we had a lesson with the G family and we brought a 17 year old girl in our branch named Zully along with us. We brought her so she could fellowship and share her testimony with the kids in the G family. We had a great lesson about faith and afterwards, Zully told us she was so happy she came! She even got work off 2 days later so she could come with us again! So we taught them again on Thursday and they finally came to church! Only half of the family came, but it's better than nothing! They left after Sacrament meeting and we didn't really have the chance to talk to them, but we're hoping they liked it!
This week, we've been having some car problems. Our battery started getting low, so we took it into Auto Zone and they charged our battery. But then the next day, our battery was dead again, so we went back in and they said it was an alternator problem. So then we had to drive to the mechanic in Elkhart, but on our way there, our battery died! We were stranded for a couple hours, but then Bro.Gibson, a member in the stake came to help us out. He put his battery checker on the battery and said the battery was just dead. So he took us to Sears to by a new battery and we put it in, but then yesterday, our car died again! It was a brand new battery! So now we're really thinking it's an alternator problem, but that seems weird since the car is only 2 years old. We're going to have to take it into the shop today to get it fixed.
Sooo, we've been walking a lot this week! But it turned out really well because we met a lot of good people. One guy named L. yelled to us from across the street and told us to come talk to him. He said his wife is a member of the church in Guatemala and he's been looking for the church here. We gave him our number and he gave us his address so we're gonna go visit him this week. We also found a great family from Texas! They're all Hispanic, but speak really good English. We saw him trying to put a cover on top of his truck bed and asked if he wanted help and he said yes. We taught them after and they invited us to come back on Saturday. It's a family of 8 so we're pumped!
Yesterday, we had branch conference, and I had to translate because there were a few members of the stake presidency and high council at the meeting. It went really well! After, we went tracting, and Bro. Rene Rodriguez called and asked what we were doing and I said we were going tracting and I asked if he wanted to come with. He said yes!! He loves teaching with us. After we tracted, we were on our way home and he called us again and told us he had set up a visit with someone he met at work and he told us to come with him! He's awesome! We met with these people, and the guy's wife is actually a less active member! Her name is Z. and her husband is N. We taught them about the restoration and they received it really well! The work moves on so much more smoothly when members find people we can teach!
That's all that really happened this week! We're looking for more people to invite to baptism! I invite you all to go on Mormon.org and watch the new Easter video and then to share it online and with your friends!!
Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Thayne
