There was kind of a cool experience too.... We met with a new investigator last saturday, his name is daniel. He is engaged to sarah who has been a less-active member and they just both moved here about two weeks ago. well he's been searching different churches for his whole life he said.. catholic, christian, baptist, and even muslim. But he's never really felt that any of them were true. A couple weeks ago he lost his job and him and sarah were going through some pretty tough times so they decided to come to our church. And that happened to be the week that me and elder williams were talking in sacrament. remember how i talked on adversities and its importance? Well he told us on saturday that it hit home.. cause of all the crap he was going through. and when he heard that talk he knew that this was the right church. and that nothing has ever touched him more than at that moment. Its kind of crazy cause I had no idea who he was 2 weeks ago. And for that talk.. I was trying to gear it towards ashley to help her.. but it ended up helping someone else out. Its just weird how the lord works sometimes. Anyways... he told us that he wants to get baptized and they're already talking about getting married in the temple in a year :) The only thing is.. we have to wait to baptize him until he gets married to sarah. cause they're living together. And they're getting married february.
