This week has been great! I forgot to tell you that last week we brought around two couples from England and Wales. They were awesome! During the tour we taught the JS Story and one of the ladies started crying during it! Our last stop was at the Christus and then we invited them to learn more about the gospel. They politely declined so we walked in one direction and they walked the other way. As we were walking through the Old testament paintings display after the tour we heard one of the ladies, on the tour talking about how powerful our tour was and how she felt something.
This past week we brought around about 45 youth from ONE ward here in Utah. Oh man that was a good tour! At the end, one of our contactors was asked what the church was like in the Ukraine and so she talked about it, then the rest of us bore our testimonies of gaining a testimony and going to church. Afterwards there was one young man who came up to me and one of the other sisters who was contacting. He was wearing a Crosby jersey and didn't look like he was really paying attention during the tour but he told us that that was what he needed to hear and that we did awesome!
Then two days later about 100 High School football players (catholic) from Cali came down for a tour. Its hard because most were underage so we can’t teach them but only answer their questions and once in a while sneak something in. We had 25 from the group. At first I was worried because they're in High school, they play football and so usually you think of them as just being crazy teens but our group was soo good and they were really paying attention to what we were saying!
Yesterday we had more great tours! in the morning my companion had a first transfer meeting so I was on exchanges and had a motor coach tour with a sister from the Ukraine. It was awesome! 6 people referred for missionaries! One we couldn't count because they didn’t end up giving their full address and two were going back to China in the next couple days.. It was so sad! Last night I kept thinking about those two girls around my age who wanted to learn more about God, and about their purpose in life and we can’t help them! They both got a copy of the book of mormon. We give them out only to Chinese people who are going back to china, but I felt so devastated! I want to keep teaching them! But I know that God will provide a way for them to hear the message of the Gospel again. I don't know when that will be but I have faith that they will have the opportunity to hear it again. Yesterday we also talked with a guy from England who has come to Utah so many times but not to temple square. This time, while he was here, he felt something different and we taught him about the temple and how families can be together forever and he’s says that’s something that he wants to believe in, so we got his number and will call him later. Tola our investigator in Nigeria is doing great! He has a fiancée who we just talked to today who also wants to learn more too so we are going to start teaching her on Thursday! Our other investigators are doing well too!
PS I saw Elder Perry this morning!! We go to the track to run, behind/ just past the Conference Centre. At the end of our run there is a steep hill that I like to run up. Usually there are a couple of sisters that run with me but they weren't there today so I ran by myself up it and I waited up at the top waiting for the other sisters to come up. While I was waiting, I turned around and I could see elder perry walking down the hill, towards me. He's tall... just saying...and as he walked past me he said 'So, what are you doing out in the dark?" All I could say was "I'm running!" He just smiled. I was in aww haha and he just kept on walking... what a great moment!! Love you. Love, Sister Sloan
Keep up the great work Sister Sloan. Hoorah for Zion!
