The General Epistle of Samuel (curve ball)

It has been a pretty good week here in Dover. We have been doing a lot of good work and things are starting to happen. We've had a few curve balls thrown at us this week but luckily we have been able to hit them.

The first curve ball was our car going into the garage on the 11th. With the car gone and a huge area we were left with an opportunity to walk a lot. We took the train too. We faced this challenge head on and some good came from it. We were able to speak with a lot more people which is always a blessing. Since we spoke with more people we were able to find some that are interested in the message we share. One of these individuals is Mateusz from Poland. 

Mateusz's family is our second curve ball. He was very interested as we talked with him on the street. We set an appointment for later in the week and arranged for a member to take us there and teach with us. We were excited to meet his family and begin teaching them. He told us that he was married and had two kids (twins). When we got there we found out that his wife is from Peru and didn't speak English too well. Luckily I could explain who we were in Spanish (Thank's Elder Martinez). Once she realised who we were she told us how she has family that are members and nieces and nephews on missions. Then she gave us pie. We had a good lesson and their two kids (they don't understand English and are two and a half) enjoyed emptying my bag of its contents and filling it again with their toys. We will be seeing them again this week. The members were elated because it was a normal young family. This was a good curve ball. 

We are pretty happy with how our week went. We always see the hand of the Lord in His work. It is such a great blessing to be in His service and share the gospel with our brothers and sisters. I hope that you all have had a wonderful week and have an even better one this week. I love you all!

Love,
