Dear Family and friends,
What a great week we had here in Clarkston! Many good things happened as we worked hard. The Lord answers our prayers according to our faith that we exercise in Him! I have a strong testimony of that, I know it is true.
Such a busy week! We met the Cleveland's a week ago last Tuesday, went on exchange with some Elders serving in Flint that afternoon, then Thursday we had MLCM,and then on Sunday we had a meeting with President & Sister Cleveland, and President Cook, the Stake President of the Grand Blanc Stake. We still managed to spend a lot of time proselyting amidst all the other stuff that went on this week so we are pretty happy about that.
On Tuesday night, Elder Wolfe and I prayed about where we should go finding and then prayed again before we went down this street. The first door we knocked on we met this guy named Brett. Super sincere 30 year old guy who wants to turn his life around. Gotten into some trouble his late teenage years but really desires to do what is right in God's eyes now. We taught him The Restoration and it resonated with him, he prayed at the end and felt the Spirit as he pondered what we had taught! We should be seeing him again soon this week, really neat guy!
We've met 5 individuals in our apartment complex the past week who we've been able to teach and have appts. with. A couple of them we found tracting but for the other 3 there's this grassy courtyard in our complex in-between buildings and near the end of the night two nights this week we've been coming in for the night but we've seen people there just walking their dog or yesterday lighting off a few fireworks and watching them as a family. As we've taken the opportunity to talk with them and show them how the Restored Gospel is relevant to THEIR lives and will bless THEM if the learn and live it, they have become interested! One lady we taught there has felt the Spirit in her life more now as she's read and pondered the Family Proclamation and desires now to unite her split family as she learns more about the Gospel.
I don't have much time left but I want to let everyone know that My parents have been married happily for 24 years as of July 3rd! Congratulate them when you get the chance! I know the Gospel is true and that this is Christ's living Church on the Earth. Have a fantastic week everyone!

****Challenge from Elder Goff to all LDS family and friends who read his emails***
Take a little bit of time this week to study Preach My Gospel pages 160-162 "The Importance of Members". Then determine prayerfully what you must do as a member to take your next step in member missionary work! I know that if we all would do a simple act of missionary work each day we would impact the lives of many, and we would be able to bring many of their souls unto our Savior. If you're able to do this, write me back and tell me about it!
