Family and Friends!
It's Tuesday! And I'll tell you one thing - I'm Feeling Good
About Myself! Also this is going to be a quick email because we have a lesson
in like 20 minutes... But on we go!
We had the No More Strangers Devotional on Tuesday and it
went well! K (10 year old recent convert) prayed at it and it was the cutest thing ever!
Everyone loved it! We only had D's, Sister C (a less-active)
and S (recent convert) come to it this time but I'm happy we had some sort of turn
out. The past few devotionals, we haven't had any investigators, less-actives
or recent converts there. So not too shabby.
Remember our good friend, W who was supposed to be
baptized this week? Well he's still doing well! He just had some health
problems this last week and wasn't able to make it to our appointments or to
church so we have to push his baptism back another few weeks. But hopefully
there will be a baptism in the future before this transfer ends.
Also I had an... interesting meal this last week - Kidney
beans and gizzards. Bleh. It was not too tasty. But we accepted the meal
anyway... Gizzards are definitely right up there with liver mush with the
strangest things I've eaten as a missionary.
We had quite the surprise on Sunday! S has
missed a few of our appointments lately just from crazy family problems that
have come up. We basically haven't met with him since he's been
baptized. Well we go to church on Sunday and we hear the Bishop ask S to
stand. We sustained him to be ordained to the office of a priest! Wut. Our next
lesson with S was going to be about getting the priesthood! Guess we can bag
that lesson now! Hahah. It was a pleasant surprise that's for sure!
Later on Sunday night, we went to another less-active's
house, Sister S and we've been working with her on getting to the temple.
Her only problem is she smokes. She wants to go back so bad so we had a lesson
about it. Out of nowhere, the Senior Sisters came over and were helping us
teach! It went well! Finally one of the Senior Sisters said "So when do
you want to give us your cigarettes?" Sister S handed them over after
that! It was awesome! So we had two packs and two lighters. That's always
awkward to be carrying around as a missionary but there's also no better
feeling than to take those away.
Well that's all for this week! I'm sorry for the short and
abbreviated email... I promise it will be better next week! I hope y'all take
care and have a blessed week! Love you!
