Monday- P-day was pretty fun, we went up Bloomington canyon.
We were going to go up to the lake but it snowed a few inches Sunday night and
the Sisters said their car wouldn’t make it so we just spent some time in the
snow. Snowmen, snowball fights; all that jazz. It was still like 40 degrees out
so it was pretty enjoyable. Then we had a family home evening we had to get over
to. It was a pretty fun day. At the FHE we shared D&C 128:19, 22 a couple
of my favorite scriptures. Just talking
about how awesome the gospel is!
Tuesday- We got a new investigator! Her name is Barbara and
she talked to the bishop about joining the church. So we didn’t do much except
go and talk to her. She's had missionaries in the past but it seems like there
has been hold ups before. So hopefully if there are still any problems we can
help her out.
Wednesday- we had our first district meeting as the
Cokeville district. Elder Welling is an awesome leader and since there’s only
two companionships and both are training we kept the meeting pretty focused on
training. We met Whitney. She's in her mid-20s and we helped her parents and
her move something for them. Turns out she is trying to get back in the church
and we were able to share a good lesson with her about overcoming obstacles.
Thursday- We helped
out at the food bank. It’s a pretty cool experience you meet a lot of the
people in need that live in Montpelier. All the food is donation stuff and some
of it is pretty good. Other stuff stores have to get rid of it because it’s at
the sell by date and it’s a bit questionable. Then we had weekly planning and
12 week. So by that time it was dinner. We had a good experience though. We met
the Gillies family and they are less active but want to get to the temple so we
are going to start helping them!
Friday- By the way, by this point all the snow had melted :(
But Friday was a pretty cool day; the snow storm broke a bunch of branches
around town like every other yard had busted up trees. But we helped a couple
people clean them up and take them to the landfill. We helped a couple other
trucks unload while we were there. We met the Lyngars; a nice couple, a little
crude, but very friendly. We talked with them for a while and there was a
pretty spiritual point then the husband started asking questions that didn’t
really make sense. He got into some anti Mormon stuff online and doesn’t
believe in the Book of Mormon now. Most of what he said I’m pretty sure wasn't
even factual but he was a little upset when we didn’t seem troubled over what
he was saying. They have had missionaries in the past and don’t seem like they
really want to progress, like they might but they mostly just want to have hang
out buddies instead of missionaries. We'll try a couple more times and see
where things go. Hopefully we can get past the rough exterior.
Saturday- was a pretty slow day, we did meet another less
active family though and they invited us back for lunch! Im not sure why they
are less active they seem to like the church the guy kept talking about how he
loved his mission and all that. Nevertheless they are a good family, and
hopefully they will start receiving the blessings of the sacrament again soon.
Sunday- we went to the dingle ward, really good sacrament
meeting mostly about charity and it sparked a couple of ideas for some talks we
have coming up in the wards. My pen died so I couldn’t wright half way through
my thought. Hopefully I can remember the rest by the time I get new pens.
This week has been super good and it’s amazing to see the work
of the Lord progress. Keep nourishing your seeds of faith, heck if it’s a tree
already don’t stop. Our spirits will begin to wither if they aren't nourished,
it doesn't matter what stage of life we are in or how far we have progressed in
the gospel.
Love you all!! And have an awesome week.
