This week was actually really good! We saw a lot of cool things happen which led to us finding a part member family with 3 non members that want to be baptized.
We made a visit this week to a really old guy that just moved into our ward named Lyle Miller. He is 91 years old. And fought in WWII. He has been losing circulation to his left leg from the knee down. His foot is basically black now. So I'm pretty sure he went into surgery today. But while we were visiting him he told us a ton of crazy stories about the war. How he would go out after battles and find wounded on both sides. And that how a lot of the time, the Americans would shoot the Nazis or whoever they were fighting. But he never shot one person. He would take them prisoner and they would take care of them and stuff. He also baptized a ton of people. Another cool thing is that he was best friends with General George Patton. He hung out with him all the time and was a paw bearer at his funeral after his accident in Heidelberg, Germany. Crazy!
We also met a semi active guy in our ward named Michael Poolman. Who was one of the main construction managers for the Bible videos, and the new temple videos. Both were filmed in Utah right outside of Nephi. That was cool. He came to church yesterday.
Then we ran into that part member family. They aren't married. So we gotta work on that. But he has a son that is 7 that turns 8 next month. She is interested and wants to be baptized, and also has a daughter that is 8 and turns 9 this week. Then they both have a baby that is a month old. They all came to church yesteday and we have a lesson with them this friday. I feel like they have been prepared.
Well that's about it for this week. 5 weeks left and can't wait to see what can come of it. Glad to hear that things are going awesome back home! Cya
