On Friday we had a good lesson with Cindy and went through all the baptismal interview questions with her and got the program figured out for who is going to talk and who is going to baptize her. Then on Sunday we were waiting for her to show up to church and sacrament was about to start so I called her and she just said I dont think the church thing is right for me... She said she likes to keep to herself and she feels just overwhelmed. That was a bummer for us. We are having her fellowshippers call her and see how she is doing and hopefully they can help her out and get her motivated again.
We have been working with Feroni who is 15 and his mom. We tracted into the mom a couple weeks ago and she didnt seem too interested to meet with us again but she said we could come back sometime so we decided to go back and try them. We met Feroni and he has been the one that is really interested. His mom said that she has been working with him for the past little while to get him to come to church and pray more and then we showed up. Ever since we have showed up he has been praying more and reading the Book of Mormon. We will see how that goes throughout this next week.
We have been teaching a referral that we got from the best members in the ward the Yorks. Sister York was Muslim and then converted over while she was in her 20s. Sister York is a crazy good missionary! She has a personal trainer Jacob who she just talks about the gospel to all the time and invites to have a discussion with the missionaries until finally he came over. We have been teaching him once a week but every time we go over there he always just soaks up everything that we share. We will keep you updated on how that goes but it will be a slower process.
Although we live in an uncertain world, we are not governed by an uncertain God. God knows what all people need and what is best for them.
Love you all
Elder Gardner
