Hello everyone!
We have had quite a
good Memorial Day so far. We wet and did a run with one of the Wards in town
and a breakfast afterwards and yes, I ran. Luckily it was still a good
temperature this morning. They had some homemade syrup and it was super good!
This week was
pretty good, we talked to a few interesting people. One of them was a black
supremacist who called the Book of Mormon fool’s gold. That was a first. We
also met a really cool guy near a referral that we got who has met with
missionaries in the past but wasn't interested in meeting at the moment. That's
seems to be the main theme lately, mostly nice people that aren't interested.
That's okay though! The work is still important regardless of whether they
accept it or not.
All of our
investigators aren't really progressing very well either. Anqunette is planning
on being out of town for quite a while. Not sure what to do with her. Joyce has
been reading and praying for two weeks and said that she hasn't gotten an answer
yet so we told her to keep trying and to be patient. She said that she will.
It's a good sign! We have some good plans to help her recognize her answer and
be patient
We had lots of
service this week for non-members. They were really good service opportunities
and the people we served were so grateful for our help. One of them was a move
where we were just supposed to help them move a hot tub into the truck but they
ended up needing help moving the whole house, so we stayed and helped. I'm pretty
sure it was a less-active part-member family but I'm not sure. The other
service we had was with a non-member who randomly called us out of the blue and
actually lives in another area that touches us. All 7 of the Missionaries in
the area went over on Saturday and laid sod for her yard. It was pretty fun but
man sod is heavy. On Saturday I was on an exchange with Elder Golling so Elder
Berryhill didn't get to have all of that fun.
One of the young
men in our Ward just got his mission call. He had been called to serve in the
California San Jose Mission. I told him that I'll have to go feed him dinner
while he's serving there since it's so close to home. He reports to the MTC on
August 2nd so I'll have two years to make it out there.
I think that's about
it for this week. I hope you all can have a great week filled with love for the
Savior.
- Matthew 10:32-33
Whosoever therefore shall confess me
before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
But whosoever shall deny me before
men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
I pray that you
each will be able to confess Jesus Christ to those around you. I know and
testify that he lives. He is your advocate with the Father and He will succor
you. I love you all!
Love,
