Duluth week 4

So it is blizzarding outside. We are supposed to get 17 inches. President banned driving but we were able to get to the church to email before that occurred. getting home will be fun... 

So we had a really good week. We found a super cool family from Chicago 2 weeks ago and they are starting to do well. We had 3 member presents this week with them, which this area has not seen in a LONG time. Things are looking up :) Get ready to fill the font! We hope to get hypothermia because we are in the font for so long if you catch my drift

So the boyfriend of the Chicago family is RE. The girlfriend is out of town for a few week so we have taught him alone with another guy from Chicago. They get along really well. We taught the restoration to him this week and before we even got to the end he asked us to be baptized. it was pretty sweet. Then, later in the week, his brother was randomly there so we taught him and he wants to read the BoM and pray about it! woot!

So we had the coolest miracle ever. Elder Carlson visited the mission last week and he told us to plan with crazy detail and we will see miracles. So, we planned with the greatest detail i have ever planned with. We planned which sides of the street to knock, which cross walks to travel by, etc. Well, we knocked on doors for like an hour and then we were seeing nothing. nada. but we kept going. we knocked on another door. nothing. as we turned to go down the stairs a guy walked from behind the house and looked at us. He said, "are you here to talk about the Lord?" We told him of course. Then he said, " come on up boys!" Then we taught a sick lesson. Well, i think it was cool. I was in a super comfortable chair and a really warm apartment and i think i got carried away in the Spirit a little, but Elder Wilcoxson went at it like a boss. I got some comments in too though, i promise. 

We also did the best service ever. A member is remodeling a house so we smashed windows for like an hour then broke the frames apart so they can be burned. at one point we were using a mace and chain :D then we took pictures with an AK-47... so cool 

We also saw another cool miracle. we were contacting downtown and all of a sudden the streets just cleared for whatever reason. We randomly dropped by a less active lady that lives in an old hotel. We were talking to her in the lobby and one of her friends walked up to us. She started talking with us and now the sister missionaries are going to teach her! So cool! #miraclecity

I contacted on UMD campus this week :) i miss the campus work

Check out 1 Ne13:40

a lot of plain and precious truths have been restored. A testimony of this restoration is critical to our conversion and our happiness. Prophets have said we should continually seek this confirmation throughout our lives. So i would challenge all of you to pray about the BoM and Joseph Smith to renew and strengthen your testimony!

love you all, Elder Damron
