"News announcement! After the
heated election, as of November 9th, the residents of Tell City
Indiana are moving on with there life's, satisfied that it's finally
over."
Well, speaking of Tuesday, we had
interviews with President, but before he gave the training for
district meeting and when he stood up, he told us that he hadn't
prepared anything, just that he was praying really hard that the Lord
would guide him, and so every district got a different training. For
us he talked about how we need to make sure people are living the
commitments we gave them BEFORE we move on to the next lesson, and he
shared a quote from one of the area seventy, "The surest way to
prevent an investigator from progressing is to teach a follow-up
lesson when they haven't kept one or more commitment." The
Reeds provided an amazing lunch for everyone, then we started an
exchange and Elder Permann, our DL, came to Tell City with me. We
spent most of the day walking around talking with people, and we both
decided that we have spent too long just driving around because we
were really tired by the end of the day.
Wednesday, we ended the exchange and we
had our BML's son drive us to the rendezvous and picked up Elder
Long, and he took us out to lunch afterwards. Then that evening we
went to one of the family's that live twenty minutes away, and it was
awesome. Beforehand we had messaged them over Facebook asking if we
could come by and they said sure, we'll even feed you. So that was
sweet! It's fun being over there because they have some younger kids,
so naturally they are a little rowdy when we come over. When the
parents apologized, I told them that this was my natural environment.
Now I don't know how well my companion was handling it, I just know
he was encouraging them to target me.
Thursday, I don't fully remember what
happened Thursday.
Friday, we texted our BML to see if we
were going to be cutting this week, and he told us, no cutting, we
are fixing our water pump (their water comes from a well under their
property). They had had no water for a week, so we helped them get
their water back on.
Saturday, I don't remember what
happened Saturday.
Sunday, we had a member from the stake
high council come and speak, he lives in the Newburgh Ward so I had
been to his house a couple of times. Well after church a member had
invited us to his home, and when we got there we shared a video about
the Plan of Salvation and shared some points about it, then asked him
for his thoughts and two hours and twenty minutes later we walked out
the door. He is a talker, and he doesn't really have people to talk
to, so when he gets a chance he doesn't let it slip by. He did share
his conversion story with us and talked about how years ago the
missionaries knocked on his door and shared a Book of Mormon with
him. Then thirty years later he picked it up and read it in three
days, two months later he was baptized. So he told us, with
conviction, when ever we give someone a Book of Mormon and they don't
get rid of it, we are saving their souls, it my take thirty years,
but it will be worth it.
Well that was my week.
Love y'all!
