Wednesday: Okay, you ready to hear about a miracle?? So we
were
Riding down the street, and a guy is standing on the side of
the road,
He waves us down. We talked for quite a while, and we
learned that he is
a member, hasn't been active in about a month, but recently
he
received the custody of his daughter who isn't a member. She
is 16 and
she is interested in learning more about the church! We
didn't eve
ask him a time when we could setup, he asked us, "Are
you guys
available this week?" Well of course we are!!! Tomorrow!
Thursday: Our appointment fell through with him, rescheduled
to Saturday. Later on the day, of having just tried to meet
with a member
who is working with their neighbor who says she is
interested in
coming to church. We were tracting some condos, ran into a
few people
that weren't interested of course, but we ran into a member
that was
active. She invited us in, and pretty quickly we learned
that all
wasn't right in the home, after talking with her further, we
learned
that her husband isn't active, and they have been struggling
in their
marriage a lot, they have seriously been considering divorce.
We
talked about how the gospel could help her, showed the
Mormon
Message, "Mountains to climb", left her home with
a prayer. That was the
Best tracting experience that I had, I know that God needed
us there to
Lift her up. :)
Friday: One of the things that is really stressed for us to being
doing is acts of simple service, and weekly planned service.
This has
really been a struggle to fulfill, because nobody usually
excepts us to do
anything for them. This day though, when we were biking late
at night, it was
about 8:30, very cold and super windy. We saw a lady walking
in the middle of
the street carrying groceries, we were pretty far away from
any grocery store.
We offered to help, she said, "Are you sure? I live up
the mountain." "Of
course we are sure!" She had to be about 80, and she
lives in the highest house
on the mountain. She walked about 2 miles from the grocery
store with a lot of
groceries. Felt good to be able to help her.
Saturday: It was definitely a struggle to keep positive this
day. The
appointment we set up with the guy on the street fell
through, and we
called him, we can't even get into contact with him. Every
single
other appointment fell through as well. On top of that, it was
a
really cold windy day, and when you don't have appointments,
you're
outside all day. We pretty much tracted the whole day. I
feel super bad
for the missions where that is all they do, because at the
end of the day, I
felt like I did what God wanted us to do, but I also felt that
we accomplished
nothing.
Sunday: We had 5 investigators come to church, 2 of those
are they who
we can't ever meet with to talk about baptism :( The other 3
will be
baptized this week! Gabriel, Emily, and Ricky :) We have
been fasting out
here for moisture because we need more of it! The Sunday
miracle hopefully, is
that we got a referral from a member, about a Part-member
family where the
member (Wife) wants to come to church :) Hopefully that will
blossom into
something!
