Cassie's Mission: Another volcano hike 🌋 (9/19/16 email)

So many little things happened this week! I don't even know what to tell you. Here are some major highlights:
- We met with this amazing couple, S and L, who weren't sure about the whole Joseph Smith story. They said that anybody could've made that up. But then when we talked about the Book of Mormon, they were like, "Okay this is making more sense now. I'll have to pray about it, but I'm starting to understand now." I am just so grateful for the Book of Mormon because it makes everything so much more clear!
- We invited this less active family, the Hs, to invite their friends to meet with us. We shared a video saying that if you have anything good you want to share it (ex: brownies, a fun game, etc.), so it should be the same thing with the Gospel. Anyway we had a lesson with them last Thursday right after dinner. They surprised us and invited four of their non-member friends and had a complete dinner prepared for all of us! We tried to make it look like we were eating more than we were, and we were holding up pretty well...but then they fed us three desserts! After our second dinner! We were dying. But then we had a lesson and the two high school friends were really excited about reading the Book of Mormon and looking into it!
- We met this one cute woman who hasn't been to church in years, and she just became my best friend! I love her. She said she wants to start housing us! That would be such a dream come true!!
- This other family that hasn't been to church in years also became our best friends and we LOOOOVE going over there and now they feed us every Wednesday, and their daughter is coming to young women's with us. They're so fun!
