That time we went to Elder Bird's Baptism Factory!

Hello Everyone! What a great week here in the good ol' WSM. this week was full of interesting experiences! But first I'll explain my subject line, we were driving (as ASL missionaries often do) and talking about how stoked we were for this transfer! and also about Willy Wonka, honestly I'm not the least bit sure how both of those came together and then Elder Bird just says "Hello! and welcome to Elder Bird's Baptism factory! It was funny and we laughed for a long time!

This week we tracted for a very long time! and we found 0 deaf people, but then last night things got wild! The branch got sooooo pumped for missionary work! We had 5 non members at church yesterday! 4 from ASL north and one of our members brought his friend who lives in the South area!! The branch got super excitd and we got 3 referrals in ASL south yesterday!! So cool! The Lord recognizes the work we do when we have faith and inspires people!

Also last night we were street contacted in Tukwila near out apartment and met a member who has a deaf sister! It was crazy! The member said she was trying to contact the local ward because she just moved but hadn't been able to! And we walked up to her and talked to her! It was cool, I felt like I should ask if she had a Book of Mormon at her house and she said she didn't, so we gave her one and she almost started crying she was so happy, it was a fantastic experience and I thank my Heavenly Father that I was able to be a tool in His hands! The Lord guides the work!

Our Savior Jesus Christ loves His children and He inspires His servants to do the most good for them!

Love you all!
