Deaf people, Blakleys, Court of Honor



Hey y’all how’s life?

It’s been a pretty eventful week this week. We had some pretty fun experiences this week while tracting and teaching

We were tracting this week and we had something happen that I never thought I would encounter in the mission.... we ran into some deaf people. We knocked on the door of the apartment we were at, and the husband (who can hear loud noises) came to the doo.  We started to do a door approach and he then said just one word, "deaf". So at this point we were stumped for like 10 seconds on what to do but decided to pull out one of our Book of Mormons and a restoration pamphlet and point to the pic of Jesus on the pamphlet and the word Mormon on the book. He then got super excited, motioned for us to come in and went and got his wife. We then talked to them through writing things down on a piece of paper and passing it around. Come to find out missionaries had taught them before a long time ago and they were super interested in hearing a message again. Now we have bought some white boards and markers and are getting ready to go and see if the spirit can teach through our writings.

We also had a good time going to Mr. B house this week. He is the old man we meet while biking around last week. We were able to have two lessons with them since then, and they seem awesome. I guess you really need to make sure that even the random people on the sides of the street hear the gospel because they just may be the ones that are ready to hear it.

We also got to go to an eagle scout court of honor this week for a member named D.P. it was great. It was also super cool to find out that all of the missionaries that are serving in Houma are eagle scouts. 

So yeah that is the week, have fun with the cold and snow! (if there is snow yet)
