Well, as
usual, I will give the weekly update of my week. This week was really slow and
pretty tough. Every apointment we had set up (which was a lot) cancelled. We got
dropped by investigator, but we did have some other successes. We were able to
have a great lesson with a new investigator. His name is K**** and it was cool. We
knocked on his door and he let us in, so we were asking why he let us in--most people don't do that right off the bat. He told us he wasn't intrested but that he
was a nice guy and we seemed pretty cool. We then had a restoration lesson and the
spirit was super strong. We asked him what he felt at the end of the lesson and
he told us pretty strongly "I'm interested." It was just so cool to see someone change their mind
in a matter of 30-40 minutes and become interested in the gospel. The spirit does
amazing things. I can tell you that.
We had a couple investigators at church
yesterday and it was pretty good. M***** came to church and
she really liked it again. She told us something this week that I thought was
cool. She has been really busy and had a hard time getting to her scripture
reading. She told us that randomly while she is using her phone
throughout the day for certain things, gospel library pops up at the point where she
left off reading. Sounds like someone wants her to read her
scriptures haha! I thought it was pretty cool to hear that happening.
This week was fun with Halloween and stuff like that. I got to continue
the tradition of carving pumpkins. It was really fun.
The weather this
week has been Sooooooooo rainy. I have found out that my shoes aren't waterproof! That could be interesting come this winter. I really, really, really, really,
really don't want to go buy a new pair that are waterproof because
I just bought shoes a couple transfers ago. What do you think I should
do?
I had an interesting thought this week in personal study. I have
been reading the book Miracle of Forgiveness because President added it to our
missionary library. It's a really good book. He talks about
the saying "We are created to act. Not to be acted upon." If you know what I am
talking about, but I am sure you do. Anyway, he talks about how if we don't use our
muscles we lose them. It really solidified it in my mind that we are sent here
to do things. Not to sit back and watch life go by. Even just from my knee
surgery and the first day of physical therapy I remember really well how the
doctor told me to flex my quad muscles and I couldn't do it. There was nothing there.
I firmly believe that if we were meant to be acted upon, we wouldn't lose
movement and ability if we just sat around. We were sent here to be about the Lord's work. That
was just something cool that I realized this week. Hopefully it makes a little
bit of sense haha.
