It’s been a great week!!
We were able to find a bunch this week and have some solid people from it!
A. is still working hard to get baptized next weekend! She had a rough week with Satan fighting against her, but she is amazing and is still going! We shared the Mormon message “Spiritual Whirlwinds” with her yesterday which she really liked! We also gave her a little drawing on a piece of wood that she liked. :)
J. came to church!! :) He showed up for second hour and checked out primary and Sunday school. The lesson was the Word of Wisdom, which is a health code given to us by the Lord, just like He’s always given His followers. The lesson was going really well but then it took a few turns onto things that are not in the Word of Wisdom. Luckily he seems to be ok and not scared off, we’ll be visiting him again tomorrow. It’s always good to remember that everyone is at different points in their gospel learning so we should be careful with what we say in cases of opinion rather than doctrine. If we stick with the Lord's word and simple doctrine, with the promised blessings, we know we will be safe.
A lady named G. has been doing really well! She hasn’t been to church in a while, but has read and believes the Book of Mormon because of past religious affiliation! She loved our chapel and we’re visiting with her again tonight with some members.
Others like P. and A. have been hard to catch, but we have appointments with both this week.
We have a few less active families who really just need friends in the church. We’re hopeful we can find members who will minister to them and be friends. We can only do so much because we come and go. Members in the area reaching out in love can help people make the changes they need. If you don’t know who needs help in your area or community, ask the missionaries! :) They will have some great ideas of those who need a friend and can introduce you.
We got transfer calls and I will be staying! Elder Dayley will be heading off to Vermont. I’ll be training a new missionary who speaks Spanish! It’ll be an adventure for sure! :) Not sure how that will work since I’m just English speaking, but maybe I’ll pick up a little more Spanish, I guess we will all see!
Have a great week! :)
