So me and my companion were trying to think of creative ways of doing door
approaches if we ever needed to go tracting and our favorite one is "Since you
live in Utah we were wondering if you would like to know about the people you
are surrounded by." We were just trying to be funny.
So on Tuesday we were at the doctors office when a set of Sisters texted us
telling us that they got left at the temple by their ride and they were
wondering if we could come pick them up. Luckily we were near the temple and
very able to pick them up. As we were driving home there was the most random
hail storm ever! I thought it was going to break through the windshield for
sure! That night we were so busy. We were running from appointment to
appointment and then out of no where Sis. Mabey calls us and tells us that Sis.
Farthing needs to be at the new missionary orientation and she is going to be
spending the night at the mission home. That left me companionless. I found some
sisters to go with me for the night and then I got Sis. Balero and Sis. Shultz
to spend the night with since my companion was gone. The next morning I got to
go to transfers to pick up my companion and see a bunch of old missionaries that
I have served around. Wednesday afternoon we had an awesome lesson with one of
our investigators. She is getting baptized Sept 28th and she has so many people
in the ward there to support her! Then we had an interesting night at mutual
with one of the wards. There was a past mission president that came and spoke to
them and he was telling them that none of them had testimonies and none of them
were worthy to go on missions. I was taken back by this a lot. I could tell that
a lot of the kids would be wonderful missionaries and that they did have
testimonies. It is so hard when you are a teenager to feel confident of your
testimony and he just bashed any testimony that they did have. But luckily we
got to talk to them about preparing for missions.
Thursday we had a great DTM that helped us understand the importance of
extending commitments to our investigators. We also were able to have some wonderful
lessons through out the day. Friday was my 6 month mark!!! Yay for 6 months! I
can't believe it has already been that long. 1/3 of the way done. But some times
it still feels like I just barely got here.
On Saturday we made someones day by doing her yard work. She was so happy
that we were willing to do the yard work for her. I love making people's day and
I love doing service projects! Sunday was a wonderful day at church. There was
amazing talks given about member missionary work and I love being able to work
with so many great members here in Orem!\
Love you all and I hope you all have a fun week and keep staying
strong!!!:)
