Hey Y'all! This has been a pretty exciting week!
Last
Monday after e-mailing and shopping, we went back fishing, and when I
say we, I mean Elders Koenig and Caskey went fishing and me and Elder
Allen watched (Elder Allen and Elder Caskey are my zone leaders), and
they caught a couple more fish. Then that night me and Elder Koenig
went and taught the first lesson to a couple that was referred to us. He
was ready to bash right away, but the Spirit took control and blew
their minds, it was awesome.
Tuesday, the 4 of us went down to
Buffalo, Kentucky, and helped some members move some of their things from
there to Hodgenville, Kentucky. Then later we taught a girl, who the
Lord has prepared immensely, and she just absorbed everything we said,
and she's come to know this is true! We have set up a return
appointment for Thursday at a member's home that just earlier that day
she (the member) texted us and asked if there was anything we needed,
and as soon as I saw that text, I knew we would have something for her
to do, and then we were able to set up this lesson in her home, the
Lord is amazing!
Wednesday evening we had a lesson with a
couple, and helped them see why they like us coming over, why the Lord
kept leading missionaries to them, and why they need to read the Book of
Mormon.
Thursday we went out with Chris, a YM who is preparing
on going on a mission, we helped some people, then went to the
Brimhalls, members that take really good care of us. Then later we went
to a lesson at a member's home, had dinner, then the lesson. She had
her three kids there, her husband was working, and one of her kids is a
recent RM, and we had an amazing lesson! The girl we taught went from
"why should I" to "how can I." We then told her she needed to be
baptized by someone with the priesthood, and the rest of the night she
kept going "I thought I did it right, I can't believe I've gotten it
wrong this whole time." We then took her on a tour of the church
building, and she loved it, the Lord has prepared her!
Friday
there was a Pioneer Day activity that we got the investigators that we
taught Wednesday to go to it. They took their 6 year old son and it was
a lot of fun, I ended up playing kick ball with the little kids, I
never heard so much smack talk, even from teenagers, but we had a lot of
fun and their boy had a great time!
Saturday there was this
big car show in town, but we weren't able to go, we helped people move,
and then there were people to see and things to do.
Guess what we did this morning? That's right, we went fishing... yippee... we actually caught something worth catching.
Love y'all
