I love this city, as McKeesport is growing on me. The city is just insane, a lot of people are
drug addicts, drunk smokers or just plain insane. You think I'm kidding I'm really not, but I
love it here! This week has been interesting and fun. We found some people contacting, around 7
people this past week and are planning to find at least 10 more this week
We also went OYMing in downtown (Open Your Mouth) people accepted
a card or a pamphlet from us which is good.
On our way back to the car I wanted to talk to a group of black guys,
Elder Ball was iffy about it, but I was like “let’s just go and see them.” As I started introducing us, one of them stops
us and says to the other guys, "Yo my n*****s, these guys spread the word
of Jesus. Listen to them on Thursday when we feed them BBQ." This guy was a business owner in downtown
McKeesport, he owns a BBQ place. We gave them all a Book of Mormon download
card and said to download it by this Thursday, they said sure. I think I talked to six guys. Yesss!!
Latisha is a girl we found Tuesday. She is an interesting person. She has an abusive family, but she wants to
find Jesus and the truth so that's someone. We’re trying to help her out.
Dwayne is increasing in
faith very well. He is beginning the 12-step
program of addiction recovery. He’s a
good man. He’s ready to join the church and
our Father in Heaven. Of course, we are still working with him about overcoming
addiction but we're there to help him out and so is the Savior.
Then yesterday we tracted into a Muslim family, they said no
thanks but to try those people over across the way👉
so we did. We gave out 3 copies of the
Book of Mormon and taught them the restoration.
After the lesson they gave us a couple of hot dogs and sent us on our
way. They live outside of our mission,
so we sent the missionaries over in Youngstown Ohio to visit them.
We had another lesson with Arnold. He understood the Plan of Happiness and said
that the drawings help him learn. He is
an older guy who is slow of learning, but pictures help him out.
On Sunday we had 3 people come to church, Dwayne, Latisha, and a
less active, Sister Martin!! They all
enjoyed church. Sister Martin hasn't
been to church for 6 months and was so happy that we’re helping her come out
again.
Dang, I love being out here, it's the best!! I love to see
these people and their face change when they realize Jesus and Heavenly Father
have been with them always to help them.
To see their face when they learn the truth of the Book of Mormon and
the restored gospel. It is incomprehensible and truly remarkable to see their
lives change when they act on it. Most want to share it with their friends, and we
encourage that 100%.
Have a wonderful week!
