Monday--
We went referral hunting from the members because we were out, and our
plate isn't quite full yet, so of course we'd keep looking! However,
looking is much more effective when somebody points in a direction for
you to head in, I gotta say.
Tuesday-- We taught Bobbie about the importance of
women in the church, and how we serve a very vital need in the church,
even though we don't hold the priesthood. That's been a concern of
hers--that women are 2nd class citizens in the church--so we decided to
try and help clear that up for her. We were also able to coordinate our
efforts with the new Relief Society President so now we plan to work a
lot more closely with the women of the ward.
Wednesday-- We found a very elect lady who is just
super ready for us to teach her! We asked her what her religious
background is, and she just replied, "I'm a mess!" Sweeter words have
never been heard by a missionary, I'm telling you. We want people to
teach who recognize that they haven't got it all--there's something
more. Something more to feel, something more to do, something more to
know. Wonderful, wonderful things to know, do, and feel :)
Thursday-- We taught a lot of our long-time
investigators that like to move at a very...'comfortable' pace, haha.
It's okay, though. While people are trying to learn, I just pray that they will pay heed to the Spirit. There's something
there, and the fact of the matter is that that 'something' will always
be there for them. It's just a matter of them realizing that they've got
to move their own feet to learn more about it.
Friday-- We taught Bobbie how to have FHE with her
family (her husband and granddaughters) and we just had a grand old
time :) The gospel has this amazing way of pulling family ties closer
and closer so that you can all support one another when one family
member is weakened by something.
Saturday-- We did service project with a smile all
day! (The smile may or may not have been induced by the glory of being
able to wear pants for the better part of the day.) We cleaned the
pavilion at Back Creek Elementary and then we went to the animal shelter
and fed all the animals. I felt like a Disney Princess, noooot gonna
lie. There are deer and other critters there that will eat right out of
your hand, and so of course the only feasible thing to do a that point
was to start singing like Snow White.
Sunday-- Sister Herring and I spoke in church, and
it was super nerve-wracking! Bobbie's whole family came to church to
hear us (Bobbie always comes, her family does NOT). Little miracles, one
day at a time? Yes please :)
Love you all! Have a wonderful week and pray that all the little buggies out here trying to gobble me up will die in the cold :)
(Bit morbid way to end but it's true. They must be smitten down.)
