Hello!
This week was full of success and miracles! Last week I wrote about counting all of the no's we have gotten, well, we knocked on more than 45 doors and finally found some new investigators! Our diligence and faith is finally paying off :) One of our new investigators name is Nannette, she has the cutest little family. The night we found her started out as a rough one. We didn't have a car so we were walking, it was freezing. We knocked on about 15 doors with no luck so we
decided to walk to a less active members house but we got lost... We stopped and decided to pray. We told Heavenly Father that we were lost and to help us find someone how would be interested in the Gospel. After the amen Sister Farnsworth and I walked to a door and knocked.
This is how the conversation went:
US- "Hi! We are the local missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint, have you ever heard of that church?
NANNETTE- No...
US- "How about the Mormons"
NANNETTE - "Ohh... yeah, how can I help you?"
US- "As missionaries we share a message about Christ (insert child running to the door) and how through him we can be together with our families forever, is that something that you would be interested in learning more about?"
NANNETTE- "I would love to!"
US- Silence. We were so shocked that someone actually said yes! "Ohh, well we will be back in the area..."
We have a lesson with her later this week! We found 2 other investigators. They have both been taught before.

We have a new investigator on Mormon.org chat. He is from Pakistan. It was so cool! He came onto the Chat because his religious leader in Pakistan was criticizing the Mormons. He spent some time on Mormon.org and was interested in learning more! But he cool part is that he had a really hard time reading and writing in English so we used Google translate and talked to him in Urdu! Pictures will follow. We helped him download a Urdu Book of Mormon because he said that it was dangerous for him to have a paper copy.
We've taken some pretty awesome people through the Jail. One man was here on a business trip and had time to kill so he came to the Jail. I have never taken someone who was so excited to be on a tour. He had so many questions and was so engaged. At the end of the tour he thanked us 5 trillion times and asked if he could bring his kids back, it was fantastic.
I hope that you have a great week!
Love you!
Sister Williams
