Good freezing morning!
Monday 1/4, Not a whole lot happened,
but that night we did see some less actives, who we are trying to get
them to come back to church every week.
Tuesday 1/5, That morning we did our
weekly service, then we got dropped off at a members house so we
could get our hair cut, but they forgot, so we made our way home, had
lunch, got a shower then went out to work. That night we had dinner
at the Relief Society Presidents house then went over a list of less
actives we've been going by.
Wednesday 1/6, the only thing that
really happened was we taught a young man that has been taught for
years, and is dragging his feet about it too.
Thursday 1/7, We weren't able to get a
whole lot done.
Friday 1/8, That was a good day, we saw
the Adams Family, and when we got there they told us it was there
anniversary and had told everyone not to call them, but they really
wanted us to come over and we had an awesome lesson, that was really
cool. Later in the day we saw some less actives and had dinner with
the Roy's.
Saturday 1/9, was another cold slow
day, we were able to see some people, but not a lot happened.
Sunday 1/10, We had branch conference,
that was really cool, and we had a meeting with the stake mission
leader. Then afterwards we had a pot luck.
Monday 1/11, We spent most of the day
with a family, playing games with them.
Tuesday 1/12, So this was probably the
best day because, one: Zone Conference, which was awesome! I learned
so much. And two: that night we took two members with us to see the
Adams, and he has a date for the 30th. Well, after the four of them
got to know each other, the Adams whispered to each other, then
looked at us and told us that they want him to be baptized before
Elder Morrow goes home as their driving force to progress. This is
exciting, but we hadn't taught them the word of wisdom yet, so we
didn't know how we were going to do that. But then the two members we
brought looked at us excitedly and asked us what was left, so we told
them and they said we could do it now, even though we had been there
for an hour already. So we taught them the word of wisdom, they accepted it, were a little unsure if they could live it, so we gave
both a priesthood blessing. After that they gave us their bad stuff,
and the members took us home. Right after we were saying a prayer of
thanks and before we could leave the car, the Adams called us and
felt really bad because they didn't give us everything and felt so guilty they threw it out themselves! It
was pretty awesome!
Wednesday 1/13, we helped with the
Bishops food truck, and then saw several less actives that day.
Thursday 1/14, We were on exchange, and
I was here. We weren't able to teach anyone, but we did get a lot
accomplished, with tracking people down and getting return
appointments.
Friday 1/15, We did our weekly planning
and saw even more less actives.
Saturday 1/16, We did more help for the
people we do service for on Tuesdays, well afterwards one of them
(Who is a retired baptist seminary professor) took us to Golden
Corral. We saw more people and the Adams that night.
Sunday 1/17, we had an extremely
multi-stake conference, over a hundred stakes in 14 states, it was
really good. And the best part, the Adams came! Afterwards we taught
the second to last temple prep class.
Love you all!
