So, these past two weeks we've been going crazy finding part-member families. Part-member families are tricky because most of them have seen missionaries a lot in the past, so you have to figure out a way to teach them that's different. But, we have had a lot of success nonetheless. One family that we found was a member, Bradley Thompson who went through a divorce a year ago, and was remarried 2 months ago to a non-member. Before we even taught them a lesson, he had talked to her about going to the temple and having an eternal family. Teaching them was a blast. They asked all the right questions and promised to come to church.
It's sometimes more rewarding teaching families (part-member families included) because we get to see the family rally around their faith, and become more united as they choose to follow through with commitments. The gospel of Jesus Christ exists to bless families. I wish I had more neat stories to tell this week.
Love,
Elder Stephen Watts
