This week (Elder Frampton 6-2)

Dear Family and Friends,

 

How Is everyone? Is everything going good at home or on the mission?

 

So this week we went and just visited our lists. I could honestly end my email at that ha ha. its getting a little bit picked up here with the work. The more I hear the ward talk about the last two missionaries it makes me sad that their conduct would be like it was in this area. But people come on missions to change and so they will get there.

 

So one of the days this week we were out trying to meet all these people on our lists and its like 8:15and we had no success all day and were close to home. I had written down one more name and we both were on the edge of going or just calling it but we decided to check it out. We knock on the door and this Egyptian man with no shirt on opens the door and he tells us to come in. So we went in. We sat down as he finished up on his phone call. He then he looked at us and asked us what we are doing. We start to explain he was on one of our lists and ask what he remembers about the last missionaries. he cant remember when they last visited but he asks what makes our religion different. It starts to turn into a small "Bible Bash" until he asks us to read something from our Book. We open up and read a little and he starts asking questions about the Book of Mormon. So like every missionary knows we turn to the introduction to help explain the book. We ask him to read the last two paragraphs and he starts reading but has a hard time with the words. In the last paragragh he stops for a little and we think he is struggling with the words but he looks up and says "I know this book is true, I can feel it even before I finish it. You knew to have me read this? how did you know I would feel this way?" It was soooooooo awesome! We testified of it and e wants us to come back and teach more. It was amazing to see how the spirit touches those who are ready and how the lord expects you to work all the way till your last stride.

 

So It ended up being an awesome week and I am really learning how to love the mission out here. I am greatfull for all of the support and love! It really means a lot. I love you all!
