Tucson--#17

Hey Everyone!

We got five new investigators this week! We were finally able to meet with a part-member family who has four unbaptized kids. They are completely stoked to meet with us and have been going to church (the kids at least) pretty consistently for the last couple months. With yesterday being fast sunday, I fasted that Elder Wynn and I would be able to see the fruits of our labors as we work hard. We had barely gotten to church when we got a phone call from a ward member whom we had given her 3 copies of The Book of Mormon to hand out. She mentioned that she was bringing her neighbor to church. His name is Marco Moreno and by talking with him we found out that his mom is a member in Hermasillo, Mexico. He just stayed for sacrament meeting but mentioned that he would like us to come over sometime this week. Hard work, fasting and prayer pays off! Clark is giving me an unnecessary headache! He keeps going to Three Points which he admits is not somewhere he needs to go. We had to drop his baptismal date because he has not been to church yet. Debbie kept cancelling every appointment that we had with her. So we decided to just show up at her place. We talked for a little bit and she keeps reiterrating "Well...I know God would not have kept me through 5 deaths unless there was a reason. I know that God has placed you guys in my path. I just need to find out why." Those are words that missionaries love to hear! God wants all of His children to hear the beautiful message of the Plan of Salvation and why knowing where we came from, why we are here will help us understand where we will go after this life. She bought a planner so we have a set in stone appointment with her on Tuesday which according to her she will not cancel for anything. Today we are going to have a long day. A ward member is a chiropractor and invites us to come to his work for a free experience (I dont know that you would call it). We then are going to go play football, soccer, basketball, and dodgeball. We met with the youth at mutual and showed the mormon message "Invite All To Come Unto Christ" and emphasized the importance of giving an invitation to a church activity. The youth are a missionary powder keg about to blow. There is a lot in store for this next week!

Con amor,

Elder Urry
