Monday: Well we had a crazy p-day because we had a mission
softball tourney! It was fun... our whole zone wore mustaches! Go look on njmm.org for the good picture of
us! :) Well just me and Sister Coulam! But we got knocked out the first round
because half our zone didn't show up! Silly! But all is well it was super fun!
:) It was good to get back to work that night and contact some people on the
street of Caldwell… we talked/almost sort of bible bashed with two men and
caught them in their words like 9 times but they didn't admit it... but all is
well! :) We shared the truth!
Tuesday: Great day at district meeting! :) We were able to
go on exchange with Sister Bair and Sister Cadizal… super fun! I stayed with Sister
Bair in Caldwell and we were able to see great miracles! We went to see an
investigator and had a great lesson with him and he wants to be baptized
so he is on date for Oct 12th! He is super excited for that! :) After that we
were able to see former investigator and her friend was there and they are from
Nigeria! Had a great lesson with them! It was fun! Then we went to contact and
we met a great guy on the street and we invited him to be baptized and he said
he wanted to... granted, we haven't been able to see him since... but he really
felt the Spirit while we were talking to him! :)
Wednesday: We exchanged back and had lunch with the Sisters!
That was fun! Then we went out to do some more work... it was a great day! We
were able to see a returning member and talk to him about the Restoration and
that was good to try to help his testimony grow! :) After we went to dinner
with a member at a fancy little Italian restaurant! It was named Stephanie's And
that was really our night.
Thursday: We had a day of weekly planning then we were able
to go and contact some people in a park near our house! It was fun and we had
the chance to talk to loads of people! One guy was across the street and he
actually came up to us and said he knew who we were! And that he loved our
church... only thing was... he was a minister for another church... :( but it
was a good conversation! :) …and cool to be recognized for good!
Friday: We had Mission Leader Council and that was great...
We talked a lot about how to help the mission succeed. :) I am just grateful to
be a part of it! :) After that we were able to go and see another investigator
that night because that is all we had time for but we had a great lesson with
him getting out his concerns. I love that family so much! He has so many
questions though so it is so fun to be able to try and help him! :)
Saturday: Awesome day! We had District Leader Council in the
morning to tell the District Leaders about the meeting we had and it was good
then we were able to go and see our baptismal candidate later that day and that
was super fun! We got him all pumped for church :) and we explained what it
means to be baptized a little more. After that we didn't have much planned but
we went to contact in West Orange and we met THE COOLEST GUY! We literally
talked on the road for an hour and a half... one of the first things he said
when we brought up the Book of Mormon was hey! That makes sense! He brought up
the scripture in Matthew when Christ said... "Other sheep I have which are
not of this fold " Before we did! It was amazing! So he wants us to come
over next week and we are super excited for that! He knows a lot and loves what
we were saying! He has a wife and a couple little kidos too! :)
Sunday: Awesome Sunday! Our baptismal candidate came to
church and we had another person randomly come in because she wants to apply to
BYU and she wanted to check out what the church was like! She left with our
number but hopefully she will call us or something! :) Super great! After
church we were able to go to a member’s home for dinner then stop by the investigator
we’ve worked with who has trouble with smoking cause we haven't seen her
forever and we got to talk with her and help her to feel the Spirit
again! :) Hopefully we can get back with her!
But that was our week! Pretty great! One thing that was
really cool this week and I am sure some already know was what Elder Bednar
talked about this week at Educational week! He talked a lot about spreading the
gospel through Social Media! I loved that! Seeing how the church is so up to
date on that and how we can touch so many more people’s lives by that than
anything else! :) The work is moving forward and I am so grateful to be a part
of it! :) If we only had ipads...
Well I love you all and hope you have a good week!!!!
