Elder Will Murdoch-Ft. Worth Texas Mission

We were grinding all week and literally no one answered their door. It was super rough. Then on Sunday we had two people randomly show up at the YSA ward and said they wanted to learn more about the church. It was super amazing. And then we contacted an African that ordered a bible a long time ago and eventually we just gave it to one of the kids who lived there because she was never home. But yesterday she was home with her Brother and they were super interested in the Book of Mormon and kept asking a bunch of questions and said they'd read it before we even invited them to.  Then this other African girl showed up that I had met on TCC campus one time and she said she wanted to meet up it was super cool.  Other than that not much happened this week. Love y'all, Elder Murdoch   We found a turkey out in the hood

He was super cool and wanted to hear whatever we had to say. After getting rid of a few initial distractions we started teaching the Restoration. There was a language barrier for sure because the guy preferred either Kisii or Kiswahili and my Kiswahili had diminished from being able to kind of say a few phrases to picking up a few words here and there.

Then without time for objections started playing some on his TV, with the IPhone 3Gs camera quality and dancing and all. Elder Gurr wasnt used to African culture and was stupified. The guy then fed us oranges per h...

The Spy who kept commitments: On Monday night we got a call from some of the Spanish Elders saying that they had met this girl who just walked into church after their ward had ended and taught her the Restoration in the foyer she said she loved it and wanted to join the church. That's all well and good but then they referred her to us and things went out of control. I was on exchange on Tuesday but apparently she came to the last 15 minutes of Institute which was cool and all but then we invited her to the Come follow me activity the next night and the first red flag came about when she started texting and calling us from 9 different numbers all cryptic like. She called us during the come follow me activity and said she'd be there in 10 minutes. 10 minutes came and went and she was a no show. A whole hour and a half came and went, nada. We called her when we got home and she said she was at Walmart(?) And we were kind of like okay whatever but it was aro...
