Anyway these
past few weeks have been rough because we've been searching for new
investigators and just not been having any luck. We spent all of
Saturday trying to find and nothing happened. On exchange this past
Monday night I was with Elder R and we were checking some
referrals again that didn't answer. It was 8 at night and in our
mission proselyting stops at 8:30 so it was the last things we were
gonna do. The first lady answered the door which is more than what had
previously happened. She wasn't interested however. So we went to the
2nd and last referral, and literally knocked on the door at 8:27, just
three minutes before we were to stop. A man answered, I asked if there
was a deaf girl who lived there (that is the information we had
received, that it was a deaf girl). He said no but his son was deaf.
The mother came to the door and Elder R started speaking Spanish to
them. They were very nice and said they understood English. She went
and got her son and the very second I started signing with him she said,
"Come in, come in." We had the opportunity to talk with them about the
gospel. I was talking to the son and Elder R was talking to the
parents. It was an answer to my prayers for weeks. We will go back on
Sunday because the mom was thrilled to have her son be able to talk
about Christ in his native language. They are the C family, the mom
is L, the dad S and J is the son. The son was very
interested to hear our message because he said he is searching for his
own religion. They are Catholic but I have a feeling that this family
is going to love the message that we will share with them.
I
love you mom and I'm looking forward to P-Day today! We are going to
the baseball game! The Washington Nationals against Dad's favorite
team, the St. Louis Cardinals! Afterwards will have a luau with some of
the missionaries so today should be awesomazing! Love you as BIG as
the UNIVERSE!!! To the edge. Elder Schoemig
