November 23 - 29
Day 49: We had a lesson with a former investigator, the first thing he said to us when we walked up his driveway was "how do I become a member of your church? And what do I need to do to get baptized?! What the what? Insane!!! We taught the Book of Mormon and he said if he knew it was true he'd get baptized! YAY! We had a member lesson and the members were amazing. For dinner a lady in our ward took us to a place called Sylvester's. Basically it was just like Johnny Rockets in Station Park.
Day 50: Halfway through studies we had carpet cleaners show up so we had to leave so they could do their job. We then did service for an investigator and our next project with her will be her garage, #mess. We had dinner at a members and helped them set up for thanksgiving! We had a lesson and our investigator told us she believes in Past Life Progression...so that was awkward. Well folks, the Thanksgiving curse is alive and well. I finally caught Sister Dye's cold!
Day 51: HAPPY TURKEY DAY! 🦃😋
Luckily we had weekly planning. After we hit dinner #1 at the Bishops house. Then dinner #2 at one members house. Then Dinner #3 which was our main Dinner. It was so good! Then dinner #4, well basically we were there for dessert. (We got way spoiled) Then we had to go in cuz president didn't want any missionaries to bug people while proselytizing.
Day 52: BLACK FRIDAY! Idk why I put that...Anyway #LIGHTtheWORLD started today for us! (Hope you watched the video on mormon.org!!!😃) At district meeting guess who had to give another talk...me!! It was on charity & serving others, so I used #LIGHTtheWORLD (Can you tell I love it?!💖) We helped an investigator set up Christmas decorations today!! YAY!
Day 53 & 54: Not much happened at all, but I did decide to re-read the Book of Mormon from page 1. It is so cool how you can read the book like 500 times but get a new meaning every time! One thing I liked in 1 Nephi 1:1 Nephi knows that even though he's been through and seen many afflictions in his life he still sees he has been blessed by the Lord. (Nevertheless, I have been highly favored of the Lord.) Like Nephi, we all have trials AND we are highly favored of the Lord! No matter what, he is always there for us! Another was in Chapter 7. When Laman and Lemuel had put chords on Nephi and "sought his life" Nephi said a prayer in verse 17 "Oh Lord, according to my faith which is in thee, wilt thou deliver me from the hands of my brothern, yeah even give me strength that I must burst these bands with which I am bound." Notice how he didn't ask for his trials to magically go away, BUT he prayed for strength to go through his trial. How cool! We need to be like Nephi & pray for strength rather than for it to go away.
Day 55: P-DAY! Today was normal P-day. We shopped, then I cut more elders hair, emailed, lunched, then played basketball cuz thats what the elders want to do! HAHA!
Love you all , and Thanks for the support!
