Well hi everyone! It’s me again and another fast Sunday is done only a few left but Tim has even fewer than me haha and that’s hard to get my head around sometimes. Well like I was saying last week this week went by fast, it started with me going to south Boston Virginia on exchanges, that was a lot of fun, we were able to teach a girl who is 14 and her family was mostly less active and we all started getting along great and the lesson was really good. I love teaching children that want to learn. And something interesting is that this girl didn’t want to go to church without her dad who has not been for many years, and something really funny happened Elder Fare challenged the dad and older son to a game of horse shoes, with the wager that if we won they would come to church and If we lost they had to come to church to get their money haha. And it was really wired because it really felt like the spirit wanted us to play (and as you all remember I’m no good at horse shoes) and as we start to warm up I cant even get the shoe into the box and the other two were making fun of us and giving us a hard time. So the game started and my very first throw……. RINGER haha and they were all like “elder Maughan is a hustler” and as the game went I was scoring and they were keeping up and elder Fare and I were praying so hard and they the game was tied at 10 to 10 playing to 21 and I throw and my first throw….. RINGER, second throw….. LINER… 5 pts!!! Haha after that it was cake haha, it was so much fun and then yesterday the South Boston called and said that the entire family came to church!!! The Lord works in strange ways even to the point of horse shoes haha.
They we had zone training, and in the middle of it President Cotterell comes and asks if its OK that they show my car that was crashed and I say yes then he brings it in front of everyone talking about driver safety and then asks me to talk about it…..so I was able to bare testimony about the tender mercies of the Lord and the goodness of God and stuff like that, and the funny part was that when they put the pic up everyone was in shock and then president was talking about no one was really hurt and no one knows he is talking to me until he says “elder Maughan would you please tell us about this” and it was funny to see how big the missionaries eyes got when they found out it was me. But it was a really good training where we learned about the difference between teaching lessons and teaching people.
Thursday at 8:00am we went to court and there was 500 people, and only 140 seats in this little court room, so they wanted to get rid of a lot of us and didn’t need to be there so everyone that wanted to see if they could get there ticket dismissed got in line. I was able to leave without having to pay a ticket and it will not go on my record. And I tell you what I was praying then like crazy too haha. So more tender mercies I didn’t have to pay J Then we were able to find a few more investigators and it was a great week. I really felt the Lords love!
Well I care about all of you and pray for you all the time!
Your friend, brother and son
ELDER MAUGHAN!
