Well we were super excited to teach this referral we got from a member that I told you about last week, but an hour before we were supposed to come over she cancelled on us because she found some anti literature. It was sad and really hard on the member that gave us the referral. But she is amazing and we just have to keep on trying.
We had been trying to contact this media referral we got for a really long time but he was NEVER home and we called and he didn't answer. And so we emailed him and he didn't reply. So we called again! and he didn't answer. So we called Again! and he finally answered!!!! We dropped of his Bible that he requested the next night. AND craziness happened......
So we start talking to Tony and he says that he's looking for a new church to go to! So that already made us super happy. Then his roommate comes over and joins the conversation and starts talking to us about whatever but eventually we bring it back to the church and the Book of Mormon. And she starts talking about what the Book of Mormon says and starts talking about the spirit world and in my head I'm thinking she's going to start Bible bashing us right there, but instead she says "And the other churches we've been goin to don't teach this! and they need to learn it!" My mouth dropped. We asked her if she wanted a Book of Mormon and she said yes! like she actually truly wanted one! She had met with Missionaries about 20 years ago and already read half of the book and had all the missionary pamphlets! WE WERE SO GLAD WE DIDN'T DROP TONY.
Seriously so happy.
Seriously so happy.
And Freeport is rubbing off on us because we wrote a rap:
As we stood there at her door
She was eager to say shore
Cuz she met with elders before
All the way back in ninty-four.

We asked them if they wanted to come to church on Sunday and they said THEY DID. They just needed a ride. So we got them one!
BUT THEN
Tony texted us and told us they found their own ride and that they were going to bring two of their friends with them! AND THEY DID. So we had four investigators at church! It was so cool to see how excited all the members were to have them there. Everyone wanted to meet them and get to know them. After Church Amber (that amazing Ward Missionary I told you about last week who feeds us every week)she keeps texting us and asking us a bunch of questions about Tony's friend That he brought named Tim. We were a little confused why she kept texting us. But we found out that Tim is Amber's UNCLE. Apparently she doesn't have much contact with her dad or her dad's side of the family but she is so excited that he came to church and is going to be an amazing fellowshiper. She is the only member in her family besides her husband and her grandson. But she is so strong and always stands up for what she believes in around her family. We are pretty sure he really liked church too because he was crying. So he either really liked it or he really didn't and I can't wait to find out which one. Haha
But yeah. This week has been really great. We've had a couple doors slammed in our faces but It was worth it because when you do get through to people and get to help them with anything but especially help them come closer to Christ, It's the greatest. Plus someone's got to plant those seeds. 
Another cool thing about Freeport is that it's where the Lincoln-Douglas Debate took place so there are a ton of Paintings and Sculptures of Abraham Lincoln which makes me feel right at home. 
ALSO, I have seen 24 deer in the past 2 weeks.
We were driving home from eating dinner at a members house and there's this deer........and it runs into the road. We honestly thought the car going the other direction was going to hit it! It didn't.
....but we did.
-caution this is nasty-
It all happened so fast and Sister Madsen was freaking out and we hit it and went over it and then she swerved and we didn't know what happened or where it was or anything so I was going to get out and see where it was. It was for sure dead though so Sister Madsen wouldn't let me! But if it was still under the car I was worried we would hear something nasty. So we compromised like a good companionship would and We just turned up the music really loud so we couldn't hear anything. SO with Josh Groban singing Ave Maria playing almost as loud as it will go Sister Madsen puts both hands on the wheel, her foot on the gas, and we were eventually back on the road. It was crazy and we cried a little. But good thing we know about the plan of salvation. And that we have a red car.

Well Mission life is great and I love this Church and I love Freeport.
