Pumped and Excited!

So this whole week was pretty normal... It was the average week of missionary work... Taught some people... went tracting... did some service... Didn't have too much excitement going on... But due to our hard work we were able to see a tender mercy of the Lord yesterday on the Sabbath! So if you recall... the story of how we met the Less Active Filipino on a bike who approached us on the street.... so we went to visit her once this week and she wasn't home... so we tried later in the week and we caught her home and she told us not this Sunday but next Sunday they would come to church! So we were pretty pumped and excited! Then late Saturday night when we were about to finish planning we got a call from her... And she asked when church started cause she wanted to come tomorrow! WOOOOOOOOO! And so they came to church and she brought her non-member husband... And he is LEGIT!... He loved Sacrament, Gospel Essentials class and even in Elders Quorum we were discussing the blessings of the Temple... And he stops the whole class and says "I just wanted to say... this is my first time ever coming to a church... but don't think for a second I don't believe in God... I do very much... and I want to experience this feeling you all have when you go to the Temple... my wife has been telling me we need to get re-married in the Temple and during this learning process if something happened to me... It's comforting to know that she won't be punished... that through the Temple we can still be sealed forever as a family.."..... My companion and I looked at each other like..... WHAT?!?!?!?! Hahaha it was so insane... and that was the first time in AGES a new family came to the ward so the whole ward got excited as and fellowshipped them hardcore.. and it was just a really good Sunday! So we're going to be having dinner with them this Tuesday... so everything is looking up! Tender Mercies of the Lord... they happen.
 *(To add a little note as well in the story.... The night we were going to visit them... The husband stopped at Woolworths and was putting groceries in his car and saw us ride past... and he felt the impression to stop us... but didn't know what to say and by the time he thought of something we rode past.... and then when he got home he fell asleep and when he woke up his wife told him the Elders came by... and he got a shock of realization that we were biking to his house to see him hahah, so then he felt the need to come to church! Pretty awesome!) 
Oh and you remember "Pedophile van"?... P.... He told us to come around and see him... well my 2nd week we tried finding him and couldn't... then we had the incident of him stopping us in his van... then we tried finding him AGAIN!.... but couldn't... he lives 94a... but all we could find was 94.... but this morning... he stopped us AGAIN!... and he gave us his phone number and gave directions... his house is actually around the back down this side street... but he is keen as to learn!! MIRACLE!
