SPRING BREAK!! OH NO!
Monday another P-Day....
Tuesday
went better than I thought. That morning we stopped by a member's house
and helped put in a 10 foot net for their son to kick his soccer ball
into so it would stop going into their neighbor's yard. Lucky for us it
rained that morning making the ground wet for us to drive these 3 foot
holders for the posts into the ground. Most of our other origional plans
for this day fell through - people being out of town. It was like it was
a vacation time or something ;) We were able to make a really good contact
with a member who we hadn't seen in a while.
Wednesday
nearly went as planned. We had some service planned with our ward
mission leader and lunch with a single sister in our ward who is on the
depressed side of life right now. We then went to this awesome family in
the ward for dinner who has the most hyper children ever. It was fun
and made me sort of jelous because I wished I could roll on the floor
like they did. But then I realized I may never stop rolling, so that
made me laugh. We then were able to contact an investigator who went out
of town two weeks ago.
Thrusday finally a day
that we can relax.... sort of. We had meetings all day. We went to
district meeting which was awesome! Then we went out to an
all-you-can-eat pizza place, Idaho Pizza Company, and someone paid for
us!!! I love being a missionary. After that we got a ride to a member's
house who we have been going to to help him read the scriptures. We then
invited him to a class that is held on Thursday nights at the church
building. HE CAME!! We then had an hour zone meeting, which we were late
to because our ride fell asleep and turned off his phone...., on
#BecauseHeLives! We got some pass-along cards to help share the message.
Friday
was slow. By this time everyone was out of town and we had no one really
to visit. Except we now have free range on everyone when it comes to
these initiatives. So we were able to make some really good contacts
with people who normally don't want anything churchy. But, a simple
message about Jesus Christ can get you into almost any door. Dinner that
night was with a brother who can only make contact with us when his
wife is out of town. For some reason she really hates the church but he
is there every Sunday. And he also is helping fellowship an
investigator we have.
Saturday morning was spent
pulling weeds... Bamboo that is. And chasing a duck who made her nest in
some weeds by a member's house. The afternoon
started to get hard as there were a few people who were just returning
from Spring Break vacations and were tired. GENERAL WOMAN'S CONFERENCE!
Sunday,
was Fast Sunday (not as in fast vs. slow...but a Sunday each month set aside to physically fast for 24 hours for a specific reason....a blessing that may be needed on our own behalf or on the behalf of someone else, like when someone is physically sick or maybe when we need a special spiritual blessing, insight or guidance, we petition the Lord for His help and show our faith by depriving our physical bodies of food and water for 24 hours, thus focusing all our efforts on the spiritual strength needed). Two of them this month for this ward because of General Conference next week. For dinner we had
this pork roast with a pineapple sause. It was delicious. Later that
night we were also able to make contact with another member who I have
never met. So that made that day fantastic!
I love you all and look forward to hearing from you next week.
