This week was good. I'll only give you the highlights. So Tuesday I met the nicest family. They were the definition of christian. We had been knocking doors for a couple of hours and there wasn't anyone on the street that wanted to let us in or even listen to us. So that was such a bummer and it, of course, was cold. We were almost done--we had like three more houses until we were back on the bikes. We knocked on this door and we said our little speel. The lady was older and she said she had just been telling her grandson about us, explaining that we were missionaries out sharing that God loved people. She asked us if we had eaten. We said we hadn't and she told us to come and join them for dinner.
She apologized for not fixing something better but she didn't know that we were coming. Her daughter-in-law and two grandsons were over. We went in and they moved over for us and got us plates. It was the weirdest thing ever! I have never felt so welcomed or at home. They made every member that I've ever met look bad! They were so nice. They shared what they were doing in their; lives the big stuff that the boys had done at school that day. They were completely okay with us being there. We were there for a little over an hour. They asked once what church we were from because she had got a phone call and the person had asked. Other than that, we believed in Christ and so did they. That was enough.
I can't say enough good things about them. I would have no problem standing up, when they get to the judgment seat, and ask that God let them in. If not, give them my spot because they are more worthy than I could ever be. They are true Christians! That was the highlight of the week!
The rest of the week went really good. We got to teach Fred and Willy this week. Come to find out, Willy, our 90-year-old Swiss guy, is so old that he shook Henry Ford's hand. I was like "what? that's crazy!" Other than that there wasn't anything too great that happened.
I hope you have a great week.Thanks for the letters, emails, and the prayers!
Love,
Cooper
