When You Can Quote the Sheep You Know it's Baaaaaad
[I think this is the video Ana is referring to in this letter]
This week has been a roller coaster.
This week has been a roller coaster.
Tuesday
we taught a lady. Her daughter is a member and she feels like there is
something else in our church but just is not sure what. She knows a
lot about the bible and asks a lot of questions. It is really good and
you can tell she really wants to know. It was a super good lesson and
the member that was with us asked if we could come back the next day.
The member we brought also knows a lot from the bible and they ended up
getting a long really well because of it. Wednesday
we went back and she had made lunch for us. We had another super great
lesson. She said she knew the church was true and she wanted to get
baptized. Then Thursday we got a text that she was moving back to Utah on Saturday.
We were a little worried because she had met with missionaries in the
past and said they just didn't work and she liked to meet with us
because she feels like she got farther and that the member had helped
answer a lot of questions. We stopped to say good bye and she told us
she has already looked into meeting with missionaries where she is
moving. She will miss us a lot. She has a meeting set up with one of
the apostles in Utah because he is in her daughter's stake and wants to
meet her. We figured "well I guess that one of the apostles we can trust
with helping answer her questions."
The other Family with the Less-Active mom. On Tuesday
the son decided that he was going to be baptized on the 17th and we
were like "yay!" He super loved church and had been reading his
scriptures. Saturday
he came with us to a baptism and was even more excited. Then Yesterday
we got a text from his mom saying that he is now living with his dad.
Basically he moved.
It is the curse of Cornerstone Park as soon as some one starts progressing then they get evicted or move.
This
week for mutual everyone shared their favorite Mormon Message/church
video. One of the youths was the old old nativity video. Sister
Webster and I could quote the sheep which is kind of sad.
Last
week we got our windshield fixed and so the thing that tracked our
driving got moved around a lot. The guy that was fixing it when he was
done told us the the box thing kept screaming at him. We had to call
the people to see if they could clear Sister Webster's crazy driving
record because she did not roll the car a bunch.
Thursday
I gave a training in district meeting. I was telling my companion that
I have given one every transfer and she was like, "wow I think I have
only given three my entire mission." I gave it on eternal families and
most of the things I could find also had to do with eternal marriage.
Apparently that is a really weird topic to give a training on. I guess I
really need to learn about it then.
Sister Davies and I went on an exchange again which is always a party. It is fun to be able to see your trainer again.
I
learned why the Family does the lights that bright. He told us the he
puts the nativity scene in the center and all the light comes out from
around it. Then a member told us it was because there was this girl in
the ward that was dying from cancer who loved his Christmas lights. He
promised her that he would make them so bright she could see them from
heaven. I feel like that could just be a story that spread around or it
could be real but either way it is super cute.
