Week of September 21st - Tracting in the Hood

Hey yall!

Everything is going great in Leesville, Louisiana. Angee still hasn't decided on a baptismal date but holy cow, she is so great! On Sunday she came to our Gospel Principles class and she already has a great foundation and love for God, I love it!! I am so excited to be with her on this journey in growing through the Gospel.

This week went by really fast! We had some opportunities with contacting people this week. We met this really sweet girl at Tina's Thrift Shop who just graduated high school. She is a Pentecostal. We shared some of the Plan of Salvation with her...she tried bashing us a little bit but I really feel like she has potential! We were driving around a neighborhood the other day and totally saw her outside mowing the lawn! There is no such thing as coincidences, so I really feel that we need to teach her.

Yesterday we tracted the hood...literally it was on Hood Lane. Hahah :) we met a really sweet older Catholic lady. I don't think she was much interested in our church but she said that she loved doing service!









While being in Louisiana I have come to realize how amazing diversity is. I am really starting to enjoy meeting people that are all different from one another. You can tell that we are all God's children. Although there are a lot of different faiths in this town, it is cool to see the light of Christ in  people! It motivates me to share the gospel even more :)

Last night we ate a Russian meal with the Mironenkos! They cooked us Borcht and Pelmeni! It tasted soooo good! Brother Mironenko is a cook in the army! He invited one of his army friends, who is also Russian, over last night. His name is Sarov! He was really cool. We shared the "Because of Him" video and the spirit was so strong! Sadly he had to leave right after, so we didn't have time to discuss it..but at least we planted a seed! He is moving back to New York so sadly, we will not be able to follow up. It was still a cool night, and no matter what the results are, it's always successful when you feel the spirit :)

This week I would like invite yall to watch the Because of Him video...even if you have already seen it WATCH IT AGAIN. This video is so great! It shows us that Christ is always reaching his hand out to us. He loves us. He will never leave us alone. All that we have to do is come unto him :)


LOVE YALL
