First time tracting in a pouring rainstorm!

Hi Everyone. I have been asked if we get to attend the temple. No we don't get to go to the temple. Only the elders that live an hour and a half away from one then we can but we live like 3 hours away from them. My Sunday was pretty good. There is this guy named Lenny Wright that is awesome. He drives us around all the time and always comes out to lessons with us and he pays his tithing and everything. He does all that except he doesn't go to church! He hasn't been for 5 years and this Sunday we finally got him to church and it was amazing! So this week was interesting it's not very cold anymore but Wednesday me and Elder Bell were walking around and then out of no where it starts pouring rain on
us! So we continue to walk and we had a dinner appointment so we walked there and when we walked inside everyone's jaws dropped because of how wet we were. Hahaha while we were walking in the rain Elder Bell wasn't to happy with me because I was laughing non-stop and he was so confused why, but I was just laughing at how hard it was raining on us! I thought it was hilarious at the time! Me and elder bell had been praying and praying for us to find investigators and finally on Saturday we were walking around and we ran into 3 people that were really interested the first guy named Ron said "I believe God had you
guys walk past me right at this moment to share this message with me" another guy wanted us to come to his house another day and have sandwiches with him and talk some more. And another lady invited us to her and her families Bible study. So we loved that day we got home and we got on our knees and prayed to our Heavenly Father thanking Him for
putting those people in our path so we could talk to them. But yesterday we were supposed to meet with Ron again and we walked up to his door and there was a note attached to the Book of Mormon we gave him that said "Sorry guys not for me" so that was kind of a bummer but oh well we just need to keep our heads up and look for other
investigators. That was basically the highlights of my week. I hope everyone is doing good! I am! I love being a missionary!

Love Elder Swisher
