Hey everyone. We had an exceptional week this week. As far as numbers go
we had the best week of my mission with 25 lessons, 4 less-actives to
sacrament and 1 investigator to sacrament. We worked our backsides to
get those numbers, and we're feeling pretty good that we can do it again
this week.
The idea is to help motivate the other missionaries and also
to inspire the members to help us out. Member trust will hopefully
skyrocket. Especially since we had a huge report to give this Sunday,
while the stake presidency and other stake leaders were in the meetings
due to ward conference.
Some highlights: We ran into a less-active member for the third time in
the last two weeks, and were finally able to set an appointment with her
as she realized that God was putting us in her way for a reason. We ran
into her on our way to dinner, members had given us some money and we
were going to go to the Chinese place, but as we passed the town's
burger joint I changed my mind, and since I'm the driver what I say
goes. So we stopped, and as we got out of the car, this less-active was
getting out of her apartment on the other side of the street. That was
the third time, and we got things set up for tonight at another
member's house.
Another cool experience happened as we were meeting with a less-active
that we've been teaching for a while. Her sister was just diagnosed with
Pancreatic cancer. We were able to testify of the hope that comes from
living the gospel of Jesus Christ. We also outlined the events that led
up to her meeting with us. Her daughter was baptized, so she started
going to church in Corning, where her daughter and son-in-law are, then
the missionaries there told us about her and we got over to her house
and started teaching her. The lesson before she found out about the
cancer we taught about the Plan of Salvation. We were able to testify
that she had been led by the Lord to us and that with the Gospel she
would have greater strength and would be able to stand stronger with the
sorrow of her sister's illness.
Those were just a few of the miracles we had this week. It was full
of great things and hard work. I love you guys, have a great week.
