Well this past Sunday at church was
like the best Sunday on my mission at church... We went into the branch
president's office and had a meeting. We made a suggestion list for him for ward
missionaries that could be called to help out the work here (we have 0) and we
told him why we needed them and he seemed pretty willing to call them. They have
tried in the past to get more ward missionaries, but it hasn't happened,
hopefully now it will. It will be a great accomplishment. We then started
talking to a ton of the members. One lady gave us a referral for a guy that
seems pretty cool, we found out a little girl that is turning 8 needs the
lessons to get baptized (parents aren't members... yet) long story. I will fill
you in on it when the whole family gets baptized :).. Then a 14 yr old girl has
a friend that is interested (youth are golden for referrals), some member has a
sister that would be interested, and we set up an appt with a cool part member
family that is the family mentioned above.. The kids are all members but the
parents aren't... yet.. So we are really going to work with them. More info to
come after this week. O ya and this super cool kid that is like 18 named Maklin
has a family for us to teach this week. These members are spot on in this
branch! I love it! We are being blessed to the ears... (is that a saying?) Well
we are getting a lot of blessings. Prayers really work. I read in the bible
dictionary this week something like: prayer is one of the ways of receiving the
highest of all blessings! Holy smokes, that is powerful. By small and simple
things, great things come to pass. I thank you so much for your many prayers and
for putting my name in the temple. It has been a testimony builder for me on the
power of prayer.
We got 10 new investigators this week! In order to be new investigators,
you have to teach them and leave them a commitment and get a specific return
appt. 5 of them were for English elders though haha. So we got 5 for us... It
was awesome... And they are all families! Just not all of the family has heard
us yet. One is a family of 2, other 4, other 4. So we will see where it goes in
the future.
We served the Brazilian family this week. They are so cool. We helped them
with dry wall. I am super weak haha. We had to hold it up and push it against
the ceiling why he screwed it in...
We are in full car here, so hopefully I can get chunky... amen.
Love you all, the work is amazing. Hope you all are praying for missionary
opportunities and setting specific dates to have someone invited to be taught in
your house. It will come to pass.
