So the title of the email is a
song that one of my investigators sang to one of her puppies. Its been a
super good week with a lot of interesting things that have happened. I
forgot my planner so I will write about what I remember to you all.
So
my companion and I have become super good friends with the elders their
hilarious and awesome. We have dinner with them at members almost every
night and its super fun. and members really enjoy it and say its fun
too. So the elders came up with a new dinner message which was pretty
odd. So apparently if you turn a can on its side and smash it on your
lower fingers it doesn't hurt. So they did that for the dinner message
2wice in a row and it worked so my companion and I had a brilliant idea.
On Halloween we had dinner at a less actives house and they invited
some recent converts to come over too so we told the member about it and
we got a plan put together. At dinner the elders were doing the dinner
message and so the member volunteered her hand for it. And the elders
smashed the can on her fingers and she pretended that it hurt her really
badly. And so she went into a corner and pretended to cry and the
elders looked really scared it was really funny. And it was even better
when she revealed that it didn't hurt at all. The elders decided to
never do that dinner message again. It was super funny though.
So to finish about
Halloween we spent the rest of the night with some ward members. They
had a haunted house in their garage so we sat with them and we talked to
parents of trick or treaters it was really fun and we got some good
contacts.
So
our first new investigator is named janet and shes a former
investigator that the elders taught. Shes pretty awesome and she was
pretty close to baptism but no one knows what happened, we are teaching
her tonight and were hoping to get her on track to be baptized.
Our
second investigator is a lady named Mirna. She owns a puppy mill and
shes pretty interesting. Shes pretty odd. She showers about once a week.
We think that she will be a super good member but we just need to get
her to church. When we were there she asked us to sing her some songs.
So we sang Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, Give said the little stream,
and My heavenly father loves me. It was pretty fun and we got to hold
some of her puppies (hypo allergenic by the way) And helped her take
photos of them it was fun. The next day we did service for her and the
elders came and helped, we put hay into her dogs dog houses for the
winter and put clean water into their bowls. It was fun and it felt good
to do service.
Our
third is a boy named Nathanial hes a teenage boy whose friends with
members. Hes super interested. He was adopted and is struggeling with
details with that. But we taught the first lesson to him and it went
really well. His mom was there and she felt the spirit but is sadly not
interested. He also attended church it was awesome.
We
also taught a part member family. The wife who is not a member became
an investigator last week. Her husband tried to take his records out of
the church in the 80's but it didn't go through and so we both know that
hes still a member for a reason. We taught them the restoration and his
wife accepted to read the book of Mormon. And also we could tell that
the husband has a super strong testimony of the church but we know that
theres a reason to why hes not coming to church anymore so we will be
working with that to find out why hes not coming.
And
those were the main people we visited this week. In total we taught 16
lessons which is really really good for week 3 of a new area so this
area is spectacular and is going really well.
I look at the calendar and
realized ive been out for 8 months *yikes* These 18 months are going by
way to fast. Its now time to shine and make the rest of these months the
best ever!!! Ive been trained, I know what im doing now, its time to
get to work and find those who the lord has prepared for this gospel. I
love you all and hope all is well :)
