One year older and
wiser too!
Nov. 10, 2014
Well this last
week was pretty sweet, we are working pretty hard with elder Cottrell and have
a lot of ground to cover so we try not to waste time. Things are heating up
again but there are already clouds in the sky so looks like rain. Cool announcement.....
Elder Nelson comes to talk to our mission on Thursday! How cool is that! An
apostle and just our mission! Hopefully he doesn't drop the cane on us. Something
we are really focusing on with my comp is doing more contacts. We set daily
goals of how many people we are going to do contacts with and then try to push
ourselves to get those goals. We find some prepared people that way, but I feel
like the best result of it is that we can have the spirit stronger and new
investigators just come out of nowhere. Like random members from other wards
coming up to us to give us references (that happened today). I feel like as we
show the Lord we are willing to push ourselves to proclaim the gospel he lets
us find more people and abundantly blesses us. The ward is getting pretty
pumped up to do visits and the leaders of most of the organizations really want
to get working so we are going to use that. We have a goal to pass by every
leaders house this week to see how we can help them out with their different
responsibilities. That is what the missionaries are here for, to serve the
ward. So if you have a need, use them in your ward! Then on Sunday we had a kid
just show up in church. Apparently he has been coming to mutual for a while and
just wanted to go to church. He is 16 years old and seems pretty cool. We set
up to go teach him and his family on Friday! We have Mara, a girl in a part
member family, that has a date for the 29th come to church. We started calling in
between our set appointments to make sure she was keeping her commitments and
she has really started progressing. She is a little slower learning wise but we
are seeing a big progress since we started and also cool that her family that
was less active is also putting the pilas (?) and doing more things as well! When
they went they were a bit afraid but thankfully we talked to the president of
the mujeres jovenes (YW president) before and she help her out a lot to feel
comfortable. Working with the members, it is the Lord's way! I am reading now
in 3 Nephi in the part where Jesus is here teaching in the Americas
Love,
Elder Andrew
