This week has been full of exciting things! I don't even know where to start...I guess I'll just take it from the top. The week started off kind of slow but on Thursday that changed. We were parking lot contacting and the very first person we met was a woman named Tiffany and her son Donovan. We invited them to come take a tour of the church and she said, "yeah! lets go right now!" So we were pretty excited and she followed us to the church. We gave here a tour and she really liked it! She said they have been looking for a church to go to. Long story short they came to church on Sunday, the only bad part is they live outside our area so we have to pass them off to the Riverview missionaries. It was still cool though! I know the Lord put her right in our path that night. Then on Saturday we had a surprise. Someone knocked on our door while we were doing companionship study in the morning and I looked through the peep hole and saw two women standing there. I knew it was the Jehovah witness. We opened the door and they were pretty shocked to see us. They kind of told us their message and gave us a little pamphlet and left. We were nice to them of course. It was just weird to have someone knock on our door for a change!
Tiffany and Tony are coming to church next week with their kids for sure. They are still progressing and are doing great. We met with Richard again this week, he is still reading through the book of Mormon and praying so we will see where that goes. We tried to meet up with Brandon Roaton this week but he wasn't home and didn't answer his phone. We get that a lot around here so I am not surprised. Hopefully we will be able to contact him again. We are doing our best! We met a lady this week named Dianna. She was super nice. We actually invited her to do a church swap on Sunday and she was all for it. So she came to church with her husband and it went really well. They are both really friendly and invited us to come over to their home to share more with them! Then after our meeting was done we went to their church which is Bell Shoals Baptist. Just up the road from our church. Let me tell you guys, they really put on a show! It was nuts! This church was massive! They had a huge stage and lots of fancy lights and fog and a huge choir. Everyone was singing and clapping their hands saying, "Amen!" "Praise the Lord!" Basically your typical baptist church. Elder Drumright snapped some photos haha. It was a neat experience to say the least.
We saw a gator this week! It was my first time seeing a gator up close and personal. We snapped some good pictures too. I'll send em y'alls way. All in all this week was pretty great. I am only about 18 days away from my year mark, but who's counting? I am so grateful for making the decision to serve a mission, I have learned a lot about myself and what I want in life and have been able to help so many people. It's truly amazing. I hope you all have a great week!!
Love Elder Hudson
PS I forgot to put it in the email today but we went mountain biking this morning with a member, it was so much fun. Elder Drumright wrecked about 5 times though haha. I only wrecked once and hit my face on the ground. It didn't feel to good.
