Hello everyone! This week has been pretty good! It has
been filled with similar things that we have been doing for the past few weeks.
We have been helping out with a bunch of service. We helped up at the farm, we
spent an entire day organizing the mission sheds with a bunch of other elders.
We also helped on of out members with cleaning out one of his storage rooms, so
that was kinda fun.
Investigator wise, Marie is still crawling forward. She has been reading the Book of Mormon
which is still a huge step with her. She still has not come to church in quite
a while, so we will be focusing on that in the up coming visits. A really cool
experience we had this week was that we were able to attend a bible study
hosted by one of our members. All the other people (about 5 or 6) who attend
are non LDS. Usually the bible study is just one guy talking about the reading
that everyone should have read before coming. This time at the end of the bible
study, the main guy started asking us questions about what we do as missionaries
and what we believe in. We were able to give him a brief rundown before we had
to end. We will be heading back over this week hopefully to be able to continue
to share what we believe in an open environment.
On Sunday we
had the Why I Believe fireside. It was awesome! The keynote speakers were the
Turley family, who are from our ward. Sister Turley is pretty well known. She
played Cossette in Les Miserables and now she goes to different parts of the
country speaking and singing for something called Timeout for Women. She bore
her testimony primarily through song. The awesome part of this Why I Believe is
that her whole family was involved. So she had her 4 kids who range in age from
2 to 10 sing which was pretty funny, then they had brother Turley bear his
testimony at the end! It was a great fireside.
In other news
I got a new suit and my tie is almost done Yay!
Thanks for all the emails have a great week! And sorry
for the late email once again! Byeee
You've certainly been busy! I must say that I very much admire how you are able to knit your own tie. I generally sew ties for my husband as that it the usual style here, and whilst I never thought about knitting one, I think I will now, as yours look lovely.
