It’s
been another great week! We were able to do a lot of service and we also found
a new investigator. She was a referral from a member, and we taught her in the
members home ( I love teaching in members’ homes ). She is an older lady, she
feels like she has never really had a relationship with Jesus Christ and about
a year ago her brother past away and she really wants to feel peace in her life,
and even before the opening prayer when she was telling us all this we started
testifying about Jesus Christ’s Atonement and the love Heavenly Father has for
her and the spirit was so strong! She and the members were crying and
throughout the lesson we just kept coming back to that feeling and how that is
what Heaveny Father wants us to feel all the time. It was wonderful. She is inviting her family to be a part of the next
lesson. It was a really good experience. I'm so grateful for the spirit that
comes into those lessons. It is really what makes missionary work great!
Then we helped a family mow there 3 acres (I never want that much grass
to cut, so maybe I’ll just get some nice rock and spray paint it green haha)
but it was two older members, Elder Williams and I went at it and it was a 3 hour process
haha First we weed whacked and when we finished with
that we each got a push lawn mower and the other two had riding lawn mowers and
the funny thing was, we were moving faster and cutting more grass then they
were haha.
So ya….. I'm just glad it didn’t take longer. That is one
thing that North Carolina has a lots of is grass, weeds, bugs and all that good
stuff. Oh the other day we drove though some farmland we could see farther then
50 feet on all sides of us…it was a strange feeling.
Then we helped someone move. Each week we do service every at this place called
angel's closet and they give clothes to those in need. We help hang stuff up and
things like that.
This last week someone donated a bunch of ties and do you
know what that means? Yep!!! Kids in a candy shop. We got permission to take all
the ties we wanted, and I must say I don’t think you can have too many good ties...
haha They were all Wembleys and I got a few 6 stripe ones.
Well it still doesn’t feel like the end of this is coming….. I have really
mixed emotions about it all and I just don’t think about it that much. The ward
is more trunky for me than I am. They have a missionary coming back next week and
then two leaving in October.
I'm working my hardest and the lord is blessing us
.
I love you all and I really love North Carolina. I love the people and I love this work.This
two years has been so great! I have learned so much and grown a lot closer to my
Father in Heaven! But I also love you all a lot too... and I'm looking forward to
seeing you all again……..
Well I love you all and I hope you have a great week! Crt and all that stuff!
Love,
