Tuesday we did service at the library and then went to
visit Brother Riggs. After that we taught some people on facebook and
had dinner with Brother and Sister Jesmer. Brother Jesmer isn't a member
and Sister Jesmer is in the Primary. They are so great and so sweet!
Wednesday morning we had district meeting. After the
meeting the Christiansens, from the ward, took us to lunch at a really
yummy Italian restaurant. As we were leaving the hostess, Jessica, came
up to us and said, "I just want you to know that I felt the spirit of
the Lord around you and your booth." Really? How often does that
happen!?!?! So we talked to her and set up a time to talk this week.
Hopefully things go well!
Thursday was a crazy busy day! We went to lunch with
the King's in Calabash before we went to the thrift store there to do
service. We didn't teach Brother Evans this week because he hasn't been
keeping his commitments and we feel like he l just wants us to come and
visit for the social aspect. We told him that we couldn't keep meeting
with him unless he started coming to church and reading and praying
because our purpose is to help others come unto Christ and strengthen
their relationship with Him. So far he hasn't listened.
In the mean time we have been teaching Joe and he
has a problem with giving up coffee, so his date is going to be pushed
back a week or two. He also didn't come to church yesterday and we're
not sure if it is because of his health problems or because he doesn't
want to give up coffee. Hopefully we will be able to get a hold of him
today and we have an appointment set up for tomorrow.
Right after our lesson with Joe we had dinner at the
Sanchez's home and while we were there it POURED rain! We needed to
leave to get to the church for volleyball that night so we jogged to our
car. When I got to the car I had to walk through a puddle that went
above my ankles to get into the car! My shoes got a good wash that
night! Only the Sanchez's ended up coming to volleyball, but their
children brought a couple of non member friends! It was fun and
hopefully the kids will be able to come to more activities.
This week our Bishop and Ward Mission Leader both
came back from Utah. So Friday night we had a meeting with Brother
Cheney and tried to catch him up on everything that was going on.
Saturday we had lunch with Hazel and then went to visit Sister
Evans. We then went an visited Brother King in the nursing home and his
wife was there too. It is always great when she is there and they tell
us stories about their life and how they joined the church. They are
amazing examples for sure!
Sunday
we had a less active bring a friend to church and we taught her in
Gospel Principles class (which we only have when we have someone to
teach because we are the teachers). Her name is Audrey and she said she
is interested in learning more about the church, another hopeful
appointment for this week!
Sunday
night we went to the Smigiels and had a lesson about the Book of Mormon
and we were able to answer a lot of questions and clear up a LOT of
misconceptions about the church's beliefs. I gave him a copy of the Book
of Mormon with Melinda's testimony in it. He took a couple of minutes
to try to figure out what your last name was! haha He is one of kind! :)
It is amazing to see the people who are prepared to listen to the gospel! " For behold, angels are declaring
That about wraps up the week. I hope y'all have a
great week and that there aren't more fires started! It looks like we're
keeping the rain and this week is going to be another wet one.
Love ya!
