Happy Fathers Day all you Fathers out there!!!!!!
Hi Everybody!
Holy Shamoly we had a cool week! So remember how last week i was telling you that we are doing things to get known with the members... well.. we had like 4 people in the last week either come up to us and introduce us to their friends who they had brought to church or call us and becuase they want to set up a time for us to teach their friends. They all say like.. hey so I asked my friend if she/he wants to take the discussions and they want to so can we make a time for this week! We just had another person from Vale call and set up a time with her friend on Friday! So now we are starting to get all of these solid investigators, being taught in member families homes and I am so excited! That is truly what makes the difference!
So we gave a talk in each ward in the town called Vale on Sunday and the first ward we spoke, the ward mission leader had gotten our fliers printed out and put in the middle of the program. Its really funny opening up the newsletter in a random ward and seeing your face! Not an experience that happens very often! I have attached our flier for your perusal! The person from Vale that called us a moment ago is from the first ward we spoke in. I thought my talk totally bombed the first time but I'm sure it wasn't that bad. I spoke on how love is such an important aspect in missionary work and how keeping every commandment, incl missionary work stems from love! So I made some changes and added some more personal experiences and it went alittle better plus it went better cause I only had to fill my time of 15 minutes. The 1st ward is smaller so everything went shorter and then my companion spoke first and didnt look at the clock and only spoke for about 10 minutes! So I had about 25minutes to fill with a 15 minute talk! I stretched it to 20 and then they had asked the ward mission leader to fill in the time if need be and he did a super good job of rounding everything off. It was probably all meant to be! Plus someone said that I sound like a movie star because of my accent lol!
We have Dan's baptism this Sunday and we just have to create the program we are all done! He is really excited and we have started teaching his wife too who has been inactive for probably 10 years since she was a recent convert! They are such an awesome couple! I cannot wait for them to get sealed in the temple! I hope I can go! That would be my last month in the mission! That would be an awesome thing to end on!
Yesterday we got our oil changed and while we waited we decided to walk down to this old lady's house whom we are trying to convince to let us teach her and on the way there I decided that I needed to tell my companion some of the things she was doing to tick me off hehe.. so we were only half way done when we were almost at her house so we walked down the street next to it so we could sought it out and there was some people who saw us and called us over and so we got to teach them a little lesson. It was this old lady who and her two middle aged kids and they were talking about some of the things that were troubling the old lady because over half of her ten kids had died all different ways, some when they were little, one got ran over by a train, some from drugs and alcohol etc. So we got to share a with her that she will see them again and they want us to come back some time! Cool hey! I was inspired to be irritated hehe! Not really but there is a reason for everything and we really did get to work through alot of things, figure out alot of our insecurities which were creating different reactions in each other and make goals and stuff so that was fun!
I am so happy to hear how you all being blessed at home! It sounds like things are going well and opportunities are arising for all of you!
Thank you again for the emails and letters! I got the bio oil and my skin is enjoying it!
There are always so many things that I can write but I forget things past like two days! oh but something that I am really excited about is that we are still waking up every morning and are exercising! Everyday for a month! Its a habit! Just have to keep going! Endure the End!
