August 18, 2017: Opposition this week

Family and friends
Wow what a crazy week this was! First off I think the winter is
finally starting to come back we were absolutely poured on this week!
The problem with English rain is it doesn't come down in drops its
more like a mist it's the craziest thing! It's like those AZ misters we have
at home to keep you cool in the heat if you stand under one of them you will get
a small glimpse of what English rain feels like it's nutz we are
soaked all the time! Haha.  We had a miracle this week but of course
before any miracle we had a huge trial of faith.... like wow! We had some
crazy opposition this week! I have been in Bradford for a couple
months now and I can count on my hands the times someone came up to us
and started yelling at us how the quran is the word of God, but this
week alone  it seemed like every minute of the day some guy just
stopped us and starting just yelling at us! We had a moment this week
when we were walking through city center, some bloke just stopped us on
the street and just started going off! Then another then another
until there were like 8 people around us just yelling at us! The
problem is they do not just let you go to they just follow you! I kid
you not, there were crowds of people just watching us! People had there
phones out and everything it was nutz! There were lots of people that
come up to us afterwards and apologized and asked us questions!

We did a ton of finding this week in the rain! I remember one day
specifically knocking and street contacting for 6 hours! It was hard
to keep conversations with people and we did not find a lot of success
very little to none! But we continued on all day! Sunday comes around
and there is just this random girl named Allyzza that showed up to
church! She is a Phillipino girl that moved here 13 years ago who is
about 22 years old. All we did was give her a card she went to the
website found the address to the church and came on Sunday! She loved
it! She is already 6 chapters into the Book of Mormon! It was a crazy
miracle! It goes to show that no effort is wasted even if at first it
seems we did it al for nothing the Lord always expounds are efforts!

Love you guys hope you have a great week!
