08/21/2018 - Things Are Starting to Move Again

8/13/2018 - President Keung, Elder Johnson and Elder Ollis
getting things settled for new missionaries

Hey everyone. Not too much to report this week. We had transfers, I am staying which is a huge surprise. Elder Johnson and I are going to do another one together here in Richmond and 4th wards! Anyway, transfers were crazy, first one with President Keung. It was crazy hectic, we had 3 new sets of missionaries opening up areas in our zone. And only one car between them. So we were told we needed to move a bunch of stuff and help them into their new areas. So we literally drove from 10 to 7:30. It was wild. I was super done with downtown traffic. Holy cow I could never live in a big city. 

8/13/2018- Working hard

But the rest of the week was good. We were out side a lot. It was super smokey because of wild fires but we didn't mind and we talked to as many people as we could. Sunday was a ray of golden light. There were some more members that were at church! The summer is coming to a close and people are expected to be back from their vacations. And things are starting to move again. It's what this area needs right now.  One of the members in our ward brought a non member sunday. It was sweet. The member is our bishop's son and we have been working to prepare him for his mission. He is going to Hawaii, what a sacrifice right?, Anyway it was super cool and we hope to begin teaching soon. 

We were also blessed to find 3 new investigators this week! We knocked on a ladies door and she said she would be interested and we gave her a book of mormon. She was like 17 so we decided to try again, even though those usually turn out that the parents don't want us to come over and the daughter isn't that interested. But anyway, we went by and talked to the father and taught him the restoration and we are going by again this week to teach more! that was cool! Then the best one, we found another sunday night. We had tracted into this guy named Adeniyi. He is a cool guy, from Ghana and he is quite traveled. He first came in contact with the church by attending church in the Netherlands. When we knocked on his door he said we could come by again. We did a few weeks ago and were able to teach him and his son the Restoration. But we weren't able to get a return appointment with him. So we tried again sunday, it was amazing, he opened the door and said "brothers come in." And we taught him and his son the plan of salvation. Cool guy and we are going back this week before he goes to london. That's about all. We keep working hard and the Lord blesses us!!  Love, Elder Ollis
