Hello Family and Friends!
This week has gone by so fast! It's
amazing! Especially since we had kind of a chaotic P-Day last week, I didn't
think it would go by as fast as it did. But hey! I'm not complaining!
W is doing well!
He's gone an entire week without drinking any beer and now we're going to be
working with some of his other Word of Wisdom problems. W is really pretty
solid! He chose to come to church yesterday over his daughter's wedding. Who
does that? W does, that's who! But we're happy he sees the importance of
attending church. One of our ward missionaries has totally taken W under
his wing which has been really nice! Our ward missionary has introduced him to
several converts in our ward and looking out for him in priesthood meeting
when we can't be there. W's definitely going to be baptized one day!
On Saturday, we were asked to
go help out for a senior prom... at an Assisted Living Home. So it was
literally a "senior" prom. It was awesome! The people in charge
specifically asked for sister missionaries from our church to go help with
hair, make-up, etc. Since Sister Johnson was a CNA and she's good with hair and
make-up (I can barely do my own), she helped the seniors get ready mainly. I
just talked to them about their lives since I know I'm good at talking. It was
a lot of fun. We couldn't take any pictures with them for privacy reasons...
But we took a selfie outside of the Assisted Living Home for the sake of
memories.
Something Sister Johnson and I have
been working on is teaching when we find. I realized that we would find people
at home and since we weren't expecting to see them, we'd be like "So
when can we come back to visit y'all." That really bothered me. So on
Saturday and Sunday, I made it a goal to teach these people even if it was on
the door step. And that we did. We got three lessons that way and we got six
new investigators! I gained a new testimony of how teaching when you find is
very important!
In my personal studies this week, I
read about Abinadi in Mosiah 11 - 17. I had some new insight that I don't think
I've ever really had before. Abinadi died preaching the gospel, yet he didn't
live to see one person converted from his efforts. That has been very humbling
for me. Lately we've been in a finding stage. We're looking for new people to
teach but we can't seem to find anyone super solid. Instead of being
discouraged, I just need to keep going. The Lord will make sure that my efforts
are not wasted just like Abinadi. We know that Alma was converted because of
Abinadi's efforts and he converted thousands! So even if we plant that seed of
testimony, that seed will grow into something great! I hope that made sense...
Anyway, that's all for this week! I
love y'all! Have a blessed week!

Q: Why don't we use candles in our
church services?
A: Because they are wick-ed... And
they "wax" strong in their wick-edness.
