So this week was good. We are enjoying significantly warmer weather. On Friday and Saturday we experienced about 20'C and it was amazing. So many more people are out to go and talk to. People seem to be more friendly.
We are doing something really cool within our ward. We are trying to work with the ward smarter and one way to do that is getting to know their friends. So we are inviting all the members to just have us in their home when they have nonmember and less active friends over. We are looking forward to just meeting more people in non threatening manners so that the Spirit can touch their hearts and they can begin to have questions. Its almost like the members are contacting for us. We are already seeing success from this. We met a lot of friends of the members we had dinner with and it was cool to see how they began to ask spiritual questions as they noticed that we are different than most people as missionaries. But also we are starting a thing in the ward called "Riddle Me Service". So we give a ward family a riddle and the answer is another familie's name. They have to do something to help them out and give them a riddle from us to pass on. We can already see that it is strengthening the ward and helping everyone to get to know us.
We also had a good experience yesterday. We walked out of our apartment and we met our neighbor Sung. He is from Korea and he is interested in getting to know us. We didn't talk to him too long but as we were walking out he followed us and asked us some more questions. I felt the Spirit as we were talking to him and I really feel that we can teach him. It is crazy to know that the Lord places people closer to you than you can imagine. Just by us asking him his name and getting to know him as a neighbor, sparked his interest and we are excited to see where it goes.
I challenge everyone this week to get to know one of their neighbors. Think outside the box and do something nice for them and share kindness. Service brings the Spirit faster than anything I know. The work is going great and I send my love,
Mucho Amor,
Elder Kipp
