Things are going great, we had an incredible night the other day. So we decided to find two inactive member apartments, we went to the first one and only the daughter was there and she wouldn't open the door and said to come back later. Along our way we ran into a guy that said, "hey aren't you supposed to give me that book you promised?" I guess he talked with the missionaries once, and then we ran into another individual who asked for the book of mormon and wants to meet with us.
Following this we decided to visit the other member's apartment. After a while of searching we arrived at the right building and tried to get in, however the padez was locked and we couldn't get in. We waited for a little and then this babooshka came, we said hi, and then she shut the door on us! luckily I saw one of the numbers of the code and so we felt the buttons to see which buttons had been pushed the most. We pushed three buttons in and a miracle happened! the door opened. At this point we were ecstatic and went to the apartment number. We knocked on the door and we asked for the member, however nobody by that name lived there. WE talked with the guy who opened the door and talked with him about the gospel, we gave him the the church magazine, the Liahona, and we talked with him for a bit. He said that he has been researching religions and what not, we talked some more and gave him a copy of the Book of Mormon and bore our testimonies about the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon.
Just when we thought our night couldn't get any better, we're walking home and we continued to simple say hi to people and this couple began talking with us and said that some sisters already gave them some stuff. (he was actually talking about the Jehovah's witnesses) and so we talked with them and they asked if they could read the Book of Mormon.
Our night was incredible and quite different than what we thought it would be, however, I believe that because we were doing what we were supposed to the Lord blessed us in a different way than we expected.
Oh so this week we have a companionship of three. The other elder's companion is gone to Bulgaria for a week to renew his Visa, so for the meantime he is in our companionship.
Love elder Ostler
