Take your Faith and Move!
Good morning everyone.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful women that have ever touched
my life. Your influence and example is incredible. I love you. Also, Happy
Birthday to Sam, Lins and Kenzley!
This past week has been good, long but good. It's weird
to not have any temple activities to look forward to. It still makes
me sad to realize it’s all over, but we were called to preach the gospel
and we will now look forward to the miracles that proceed from the past
month. Although our area (Kansas State University) is on the
verge of dying now that school is out, the Lord is still blessing us. It's
taking a lot of effort on our part (as it should) to find those that are
willing to follow Jesus Christ. But with the effort comes the blessings.
A few highlight of the week:
-I ate vegemite for the first and last time. My Australian
companion has been trying to get me to eat it for months. Every time she pulls
it out and I smell it I gag. I figure if it smells like that it can't taste
much better...and well, I was right. It’s disgusting. I think Australia
took the smell of dead skunk and made a taste out of it. Yet somehow my
companion eats it like its peanut butter. In fact that’s what she
compares it to however, she doesn't like peanut butter. Therefore, I just don't
get it.
-We've said goodbye to lots of our "favorite" people
this week. We said goodbye to our members that are being deployed, going on
missions and moving on to something a little more exciting than Kansas. We also
lost 5 investigators this week to Las Vegas, Africa, China and Arkansas,
but they've all said, "because of facebook we will still be friends."
I guess facebook is the only form of communication these days. Welcome to the
real world....
-Our investigator John came to church yesterday! It was a
miracle. We were so glad that he finally made the commitment to come.
-We had taken one of our "friends" to the temple open
house last month. She grew up going to church. Her family was all members once
upon a time and have sense discontinued their membership. She had always wanted
to see inside a temple so we pulled a few strings and got one of our members to
take her. That was that and life continued on. Here is the cool part. This past
week we got a call from the mission office asking if we knew this girl.
The mission office told us that this girl had left a comment card at the temple
and said that she wasn't a member.... yet. So all because we took her to the
temple a miracle happened. We are planning on seeing our friend this week and
getting a better idea as to where she stands.
Here's to another week of eating weird things, finding new
people and witnessing miracles!
I love you all. Be safe.
