``Hey Elders, just so you know you should avoid this neighborhood as soon as the sun goes down´´

``Oh ya i totally know about that already, but thanks for the info´´

``How do you already know how that areas dangerous?´´

``Well just this last week....(long story after)´´

``Wow i knew it was dangerous there but you guys just get it bad´´

``Yup, but i did get a stronger testimony about prayers´´ hahahaha

So this week was pretty awesome for me. I had one experience that was super awesome. My companion and i were walking around in our apartment complex pretty late at night. We were actually heading home. When both of us felt like there was still things God needed us to do that day. So we decide to start knocking the neighbors doors, and get to know them. And after meeting a bunch of people, my companion and i just randomly decide to walk to the most remote part of our apartment complex. We had pretty much absolutely no reason to be there but we went anyway.

And as we were walking without any form of communication between us two. WE both stop, and look at the same house at the exact same time. My companion then looks over at me. And i say ``Yup i feel it too, lets knock it´´

WE then walk over to the door, and knock it. And a women answers the door, and she just has a huge smile on her face. And after talking to her for a couple of mins she  invited us to come inside. (and after verifying there was a man inside) we come in.

And as we were getting to know her she told us a story, about how she has been living in that apartment complex for 7 years. And just about everyday she would see the missionaries, and she was really happy that they would always say hi to her when they would see her in the street. And she just noticed that there was something spacial about them. And she just always wished that one day they would come by and knock her door. And decided that the very first ones to knock her door she was going to let them in, and listen to everything they had to tell her.

7 years passed by, and she was just dying inside to get to talk to the missionaries, she just wanted to know what they taught about with every fiber of her soul, because she knew there were something special about them. But they never came by.

Until we knocked the door.

She invited us in, and and even before we teaching she said ``I know that you two are angels that has sent here to help´´ And she told us that she has been having a really hard week, and she just couldnt really find the strength that she needed to keep going on in life. And she was jut about giving up on everything. And then she started thinking about us, the missionaries, and thought that we were never going to come by. She knew that they had the power to help her. But God didnt care enough about her to send them by.

A few moments after having that though, there is a knock at her door.

She was overwhelmed with the message of the Restoration. It was just something marvelous to her. And she told us ``I want to be a member of your church. What are the requirements to be a mormon? What do i have to do?´´

As we were inviting her to be baptized she just had an amazing joyful look in her eyes.

But there was a couple of other people who were there in the house listening in to us, from a hidden position so that we wouldnt know they were there. And when we invited her to get baptized, one of them jumped out. And just started yelling at us. He was as receptive as the woman was haha. And he is just trying to slam us with his point of views and beliefs that were contradictory to ours. And he just wants to fight about it. And as he was in the middle of his rant his wife come out of hiding as well.

He then tell me. ``That is impossible what you are talking about. God isnt real. Why on earth do you believe in him. How on earth can you just go around deceiving people about him coming to some Liar to create some church for man that doesnt even exist´´

The two women that we listening both immediately jumped out against him and defended me and my companion. And after they gave their testimonies to him. I open my mouth and say I will show you how i know God is there.

I then calmly take out my book of mormon. Open it up to Alma 5:45-46. Pass it to him, and tell him to read it. And as he was reading (silently) i turned to the the women and say ``I know God is there. And i know that he really did appear to Joseph Smith, and restored His Gospel, and his church on this earth.´´

The man was then really quiet. And just staring at the book of mormon, and then at me, and then at the book of mormon again.

I then turn to him and say. And i know that you will know that this is true as well. Just do as this scripture says.

The story keeps going, but i have to go. Love you all!!!!
