Open Your Mouth

Familia,

 

it was a good week
we just got back form hiking the "B" (for Broadwater County) it was super steep but had a nice view of the town so that was good 

Yesterday was a good day we went to White Sulphur Springs and church was good then we went over to have a lesson with a family that we had set up with but they werent home. you know you are in Montana when you just open the door and say hello is anyone home? haha President Saltzman did that, he is the branch President for the area. He is super funny and a very good missionary. It is quite the drive from town so he tells us stories and ALL of his missionary experience have been from OPENING HIS MOUTH and not from just being a good example. If we want to be successful missionaries (and I am not saying just me, when we were baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we promised we would always be missionaries) so we need to open our mouths and not be afraid to share the gospel.

but anyway back to White Sulphur, we tried a potential ho the missionaries had tracted into, he was busy but said we could come back Tuesdaywhen he doesnt work, so that should be good. Then we wenyt to some other peoples home and when we pulled up the husband was working on the car and when we got out he siad "whatever you are selling I am not buying" ha we said we werent selling anything but would like to teach him 5 short lessons, he said he wasnt interested but introduced him to his wife, who was really nice and so we, all 5 of us, talked on their porch, they werent really interested but President Saltzman started sharing experiences and how great the Book of Mormon was and then by the end we gave her a copy and she said she wouldnt read it but then her husband took it out of her hands and said I havent been baptized I'll read it!" so that was awesome and they both totally felt the Spirit so we will start working with them here shortly. They are great. 

We had zone conference this week as well, just being better missionaries, how to be better at finding people, using our time wisely and improving our teaching skills so they were all really good break out sessions. The assistants and President and Sister Mecham are great.

I love you all hope you have a good week!

love Elder David Witt
