hey family!!!
Sounds like things are going way good! haha sounds like everyone there is just as busy as the missionary life here haha.
so first i wanna tell you something way cool that happened here this week. so we had another training meeting with the President and he told us that along with contacting in grocery stores we should have open houses of the church. he said he wants us to open up the doors and then just invite the people that walk by if they want to come in... this idea was not just off the top of his head... This was true inspiration i kid you not!! so we went Elder Soffe and i and the first lady we contacted BOOM came in with her kid. told us things about how she doesnt think its right to baptized kids and how everyone in the world is catholic because they can drink and smoke and everything! haha she said that not us. but yeah ASKED us for a Book of Mormon so that she could read it. and we taught her about baptism right next to the baptismal font haha OH MY GOSH IT WAS SO SUAVE!!! haha
so the second lady we contacted came in and loved it. she really liked the chaple and the pictures and then we showed her the baptismal font and invited her to come to church on sunday. she was like of course. what time do you start haha oh my gosh so cool. so we are gonna pick her AND her family up before church and bring em with us. and then after a while of nothing the sister missionaries decided they were gonnna leave and so we were walking out with them and this man walked by and we started talking to him and he came into the chaple and he also loved it! he was asking all these awesome questions. and after we showed him the baptismal font and taught a little bit about baptism he straight up asked us What can i do to be baptized in your church? I kid you not!!! we set a baptismal date with him already!! haha but yeah this experience was so dang cool. we sang a hymn with him and everything!! HE SANG WITH US!! this guy is so ready..... Oh my gosh i hope you see how much the Lord helped us out there.. Someone who was totally ready and waiting to hear the restored gospel CAME to the chaple (not coincidence) later he felt the spirit in the chaple, later he felt the spirit when we taught him about baptism, then he straight up asked us what he can do? that is not something that just happens everyday!! i know that cuz we are trying to be 100 percent obedient everyday the Lord blesses us with experiences like that one..
but yeah i loved contacting in front of the church. the chaple is like an orb of the spirit and the people who are already prepared just flock to us haha. also its way better cuz the church is our turf. whereas when we are contacting door to door we are on their turf and they feel comfortable saying not so nice things to us haha but when its in front of the church they feel more obligated to listen to us almost haha it is so awesome.
but for real until yesterday i never realized how strong the spirit is in the chaple. cuz like i have felt that spirit in every chaple i{ve been to but i didnt realize how strong it was until we were showing others when it was nice and quiet. Try going into the chaple when its quiet and try to recognize that spirit... it is so awesome.!!
But how is Hermana Schneider doing???? i cant wait to make fun of her spanish when we get back haha there is an elder here from argentina and it is way different haha but yeah everything here in the offices is way good. I hope you all know how awesome the life of a missionary is haha i love it so much!!
Family i miss you too but its way better that im here right? (You all better say yes to that haha)
Love you all so much,
Elder Nunley
