Pass Along Card

This week, we gave a pass-along card to a man named Paul. He informed us that he was Catholic and he probably wasn't interested, so we gave him the card and told him to go to the website if he ever wanted to contact us. Not two days later, we received a referral from the online missionaries, it was Paul. It turns out that he had a real need in his life. He had been having nightmares and said he feels surrounded by evil spirits. He also had a fiancee who was Christian, but not too happy with her church and looking for another one. She was also experiencing frequent nightmares. Paul somehow decided that maybe we could help. We went over and taught the restoration. As we were teaching, the thought came to me that we needed to give them a blessing to help them sleep better and help them build their testimony in priesthood power. As I was wondering if the thought came from God, or was my own, Paul's fiancee, Kat, got up off the couch, got a kitchen chair, put it in the middle of the floor, and sat in it. So, we gave the blessing and ever since they have been able to sleep fine, without nightmares, and they have been reading the Book of Mormon, and they should be with us at church this Sunday.

Felisha and Jordan, the people we met last week, were able to come to church yesterday, and they loved it! They said they'd be back, and they are planning to be baptized in February.

It has been an awesome first week with Elder Richards. Attached is a picture of him with our investigator's pet raccoon.

Love,
Elder Stephen Watts
