Good day, Y'all!
So Wednesday evening, we were getting
ready for the lesson with the Adams when President Brough showed up.
He came in, shook our hands, then immediately started an apartment
inspection, ohhhhh! Well he walked from room to room, pointing little
things out here and there. Then he walked into the bedroom and
shouted out "Who's packing!?" So I explained that I was
using my small suitcase to take my clothes from the drier to my bed
and I ran out of time to fold them. So what President saw was a
suitcase covered with clothes. I told him this and he was ok with
that. Well he then sat down and talked about what we would teach the
Adams, then we headed off. We had an amazing lesson, in the time we
hadn't seen them, they had learned all the things we were going to go
over and they told us how they were put into a situation where they
could have easily done something wrong and no one would know, but
because they were trying to live the commandments (which from my
perspective, was not directly related to their situation) they did
the right thing! Well after a good talk, we challenged them again to
be baptized and April 9th is the goal. Bro. Adams was good with that
but Sis. Adams said she couldn't do it if it was only a goal. So I
whipped out my calendar and said "Ok, I'm putting it in my
calendar right now, this is a reality, you are getting baptized on
April 9th." Laughing they said they can do that! I loved
teaching with President Brough.
Thursday, we had district meeting, then
had district lunch. We went to a place called Waffle House, it was
ok, but it was fun to be around the other missionaries. Later that
night we went out with a member and taught some lessons.
Friday, we headed over to the church
for Elder Memmott's district leader skype call, then we had a lesson
with someone who lived close to the church. After the lesson we were
trying to figure out how we were going to get from the upper left
corner of our area to the lower right hand corner, with no bikes. But
then the investigator called and said we had to reschedule for
another time. Well that solved our problem in an unfortunate way. So
we made our way back home. We had lunch, did our weekly planning,
then after dinner we went out to teach.
Saturday, we finally went by the last
few people on our list of members that live in our area, and we
actually caught one as she was coming out of the door. So we talked
with her as we walked. Then that evening we went out with another
member (this was a great week, because we got several members out
teaching with us), but none of our investigators were there for their
appointments. So we tried someone else we had just started to teach. We caught them home and had an amazing lesson.
Oh! I almost forgot, we got transfer
news, Elder Memmott is training and I am being transferred to
Newburgh, Indiana, so I will be packing for most of the day.
Sunday, we had a meeting in the
morning, then had church and the Adams came! They love coming to
church. Unfortunately, none of the other people that said they would
come, came. Sister Adams was furious when the Branch President
announced over the pulpit that I was leaving, because I hadn't had a
chance to talk to them myself, so she had me promise to come back for
the baptism and I told her I would be there. Well later we had
stopped by one members home and I got some pictures with them, we had
dinner at another members home and then we were given the amazing
opportunity to be apart of a blessing for them to help them have children. I never
thought I would be apart of a blessing like that, it was an amazing
privilege. So when I email next week, I will be an hour closer, so
be expecting it at a different time.
Love y'all!
