Chino, California: Week 78

We were out knocking some doors just south of the church building, where some awesome members live. After stopping by them to see how they're doing, we just went around the streets looking for someone new we could hopefully share the gospel with, and it went really well! One house opened up and it was a woman who said we can share for a few minutes. She invited her husband and daughter over to come listen, and after talking with them for a bit, we asked if we could come back another time to share some more and they said yes! 

Then, the very next house we went by, there was a guy in his garage that we went up to. He was really nice and started telling us about how he moved here from Albania a while back, and how Turkey used to attack their country and stuff. I was like, hey, that sounds a lot like Armenia! So we connected that way, plus he said he has visited our church meetings a couple times in the past because his member neighbors introduced him. It's cool to see the impact of local church members and church buildings on a particular area. It really does get noticed by everyone around, and it's a huge part of what prepares people to say yes when missionaries ask if they'd like to meet and talk about Christ. 

It's also nice to see that covid restrictions are continuing to ease up. Most missionary related things are back to normal now.  It's weird looking back on the mission up until now, how things have changed with covid, a new mission president, and missionaries constantly coming and going. Things are entirely different from when I first got here,  but it's been a good experience the whole time.

Have a good week,

Elder Clayton
