Okay I have no idea where the month of January went, but February is going even faster. Where is time going?? Does anybody have the answer to the question??
Well there have been soo many miracles this past week! I am so grateful we had a better week! We worked soo hard. Not that we don't any other week, but sometimes it is just different. So we have been working more with the Ward this transfer. Which is really good. We have been having a lot of less actives/ recent converts just not come to church, and a lot of students just not show up. Not a good thing. So we got together with the Relief Society and we started to go through them all and started talking to all of them. HUGE SUCCESS! We were able to find a potential investigator through one of them, which is really cool! So we had a lot of lessons this week and a lot of getting to know you.. it was really productive.
We also had someone hit our car last Monday. Our car was sitting in a parking spot and one lady was turning left into her parking spot and she hit our back left bumper. She dented it and scratched it. So we have been doing a lot of paperwork and a lot of insurance kind of things. Crazy!!!
We are teaching 3 really cool people right now..... I will kind of give you a detail of how we they are all doing..
- Josh: he is amazing!! We were visiting one of our past investigators and he was outside going to his apartment. We decided to stop and talk to him. He didn't seem quite interested at that time, but we just shared a quick thought and went on our way. We then go and visit our past investigator again. And guess who was outside again? JOSH! Crazy! So we talked to him again, and now we are teaching him! He is definitely progressing, which is really good.
- Sam: he of course is awesome too. During winter break, (when I was with Sister Olson) we decided to text all of our potentials/some former investigators. And he was one of them. Crazy enough, he was actually reading a Book of Mormon when we texted him. How amazing! (The Lord knows his children!) well we set up an appointment for when he got back from winter break, and we had our first lesson a couple of weeks ago. His light is just super dim. He doesn't look very happy. We told him that the gospel of Jesus Christ can bring you happiness and joy. He seemed pretty interested. We had another lesson with him this week and he is doing pretty well. :)
- John: super cool miracle. A couple of weeks ago, we saw a less active and we invited him to church. Well he didn't have a car so he decided to have his friend bring him. Well we took that as a, "Go talk to him!" We set up an appointment and well we have another person we are teaching. Super awesome. He is slowly progressing, but I know that the Lord had some miraculous hand in that.
We also had interviews with the mission president this week. And wow!! I am sooo very grateful for him and all that he does to help us in our work! You can tell when they love you so much! And I am seriously so grateful for him and what he does. I know when I leave, I will greatly miss President and Sister Smith! They are just soooo amazing! I love them dearly!
I am so grateful for the power of prayer and the power of the scriptures. I know that as we take the time during the day to study them, that the Lord will give you more time during the day to do other things. I invite y'all to open your scriptures to be edified!
Ohh quick thing! So we had lunch with a member on Friday! So we went over and we were helping her put everything on the table, and we see this maple syrup on the table.... so I asked her, "What is that for??" She said "well my mom is Canadian and my dad served his mission in Canada. And well they put maple syrup on pretty much everything. And so my dad started putting it on his chili!" SAY WHAT! She put it on the table because she also eats maple syrup with her chili. Craziest thing in the world. Well you know me, I try pretty much everything.!!! I put it on my chili! IT WAS SOOOO GOOD! You should all try it!
Thanks for all that you do! I am so grateful for you all and the prayers! I love y'all!
Love,
Sister Pewtress
