Hey
Mom! So this week has been pretty good. So this last week was....
So
on Tuesday we picked up A, a young man in the ward that we take out with us
every Tuesday and sometimes on other days of the week too, and we went and saw
a potential named M. M's ex-husband was
a less-active member of the church and for that reason she knows about what we
do and a little about what we teach. But we went and visited her and she
invited us in and we just talked for a little bit, getting to know her. It was
really good. When we left she said she'd talk to her husband to see if we could
stop by when everyone was home to have a lesson. After that we had English
class and that went over well.
Wednesday.
We had exchanges and so Elder B came with us for the day. Basically everything
fell through for the day but we had a good dinner with the R. Family. We talked
to them about the Temple, and their goals on going to be sealed as a family.
They said they had some things they wanted to work on first and so we set some
new goals to help them progress and move forward. We also had this cool lesson
with the sister of one of our members. She has had a lot of problems lately and
wants to change and so we talked to her about the Atonement and how we can be
healed and forgiven for everything that’s happened and she really liked that
and so we are going to start working with her.
Thursday.
Thursday after weekly planning we had a crazy lesson with a family. So remember
how we said we weren’t sure how the husband was going to respond, but then it
was ok. Well we figured out that sometimes people seem to believe they know what
we are going to be teaching when we come in, even though they say they don't
know that much – then try to teach us instead. Sometimes things don’t go the
way we hope and the spirit just isn't there - it is just empty. So we find a
polite way to leave. Without the Spirit present we can’t be effective, we will
try again and see what happens next time.
Friday.
We taught M about tithing and fasting. Oh and I'm not
sure if I already told you all this but M is getting Baptized this Saturday!!!!
But the lesson went super good and she
understood everything and is willing to live it.
Saturday. So we decided to walk and as we were getting to the
neighborhood we wanted to walk we got a text from President saying that
everything was staying the same, speaking of transfers, the area and
companionship, except that Elder C was going to Fontana. So that was pretty
triste. He is leaving today, Monday the 8th. We had another lesson with M and
went over some more of the commandments.
Sunday was good. We had Stake Conference. Elder Gifford Nielson,
the Seventy that came and visited our mission and then spoke in general
conference, came and spoke at stake conference. After that because Elder C is
leaving he wanted to go take pictures with some members so we went over to the
T.'s family home and Sister D, 2 other elders showed up it was pretty weird but
it was cool at the same time.
That was the week! I hope everyone has a good rest of the week and
I'll talk to yall on Monday!
