Ya'at'eeh,
Man... this has been a crazy week.
Tuesday,
we taught a less active family and had a pretty good conversation with
them. The wife is blind, and the husband has heart problems. They have
been sick for a while, and so they haven't been able to come to church
for a long time. They are taking the right steps to get back to church.
We also saw a part member family named the Trujillo's. The mom is a
member, but the kids and the grandchild is not. Victor, Valentino and
Valentina (Twins), and an older daughter that i can't remember her name,
are Sheila's (the mom). Zac is the older daughter's son. These kids are
stinking smart!! They have a strong understanding of the small and
simple truths of the gospel. It's super neat to talk to them.
Wednesday,
I was on exchanges with one of the Zone Leaders, Elder Hozman
(pronounced Ohzmahn (the H is silent)). He is Colombian, and he is
really quite short. He is a goofy kid. He likes to joke around a lot,
but he knows when to be serious. We tried to stop by some people in our
area book, but unfortunately, they were not home. We did teach Jack
Schindler, one of our Recent Converts. We had a good lesson with him. We
tried to tract a little bit later that day. We were in this
neighborhood, and I saw a Wyoming License plate with county 19 on it. I
said, "Cool, someone from Evanston!" We knocked on the door, and this
lady answered. She said her niece just got back from the New York
Manhattan mission. We asked if she was a member, she said, no. But we
think her husband is a less active member. She offered to feed us
anytime. So that was pretty neat!
Thursday,
we ran into (knocked on her door) a less active lady that was baptized
back in 2011. She lost contact will everyone from the church, so she was
super happy to see us. She said she had been waiting for us to stop by.
Earlier in the day I was going through the area book, and saw her
daughter was listed as an investigator. I got the prompting to stop by
and so we did. She said she wants us to re-teach her the lessons, so we
said we would. It was super neat to meet her, because she is Lakota
Sioux. She was born in Valentine Nebraska, and knows of course where
Gillette is. Small world!
Friday,
we did weekly planning, and then we went and saw a Less Active Member.
She is only probably 25 or 26, but she has SEVERE ADHD..... Talking to
her, I got Exhausted. She hadn't taken her medication that day, and so
it was like she was talking in circles. It was crazy!! I was so tired
after that lesson.
Saturday,
we helped a man in our apartment complex move. That took up the
majority of our day. He is a JW, but he was super friendly to us and he
was very appreciative of the help we offered him.
Sunday,
We had Stake Conference, and so we only had 2 hours of church! It was a
very very good conference. The theme was on Keeping the Sabbath Day
Holy. Since we only had 2 hours of church, We didn't know what to do for
the rest of the day. We did quite a bit of tracting. We tracted around
member's houses, and asked if there was anyone they thought we should
see. We have also been trying to ask for referrals from everyone. When
we ask from those who are not interested themselves, they open up a
great deal. It's been such a blessing since we've started doing that
this week.
Anywho. I hope you all are well. May the lord bless you in all of your endeavors. Keep the faith. Live the truth. Love the Lord.
