Well goooo Seattle! I never realized how big of deal the
super bowl was until it is almost impossible to get appointments! Superbowl
parties are a big deal over here... but all is well! We still had a good... and
exciting week! :)
Tuesday: We were able to go to district meeting then we were
able to go and visit some people! We saw a member, then we saw an investigator!
Then we went to see our baptismal candidates, the two kids who are going to get
baptized in two weeks! Great lesson and we are super excited for that! :) But
that was our day!
Wednesday: We had another great day, seeing a Less
Active, and then our first convert and had a really great lesson with her! :)
Then we were able to go to dinner at a member’s house and that was delicious!
:)
Thursday: Well this is the exciting day! haha so we did our
weekly planning like usual, then we were able to go to young mens and young
womens that night! We had 7 nonmembers there… that is cool! The young women did
a faith walk and we helped them with that and that was really fun! But then
guess what??? Around 9 oclock we were getting ready to leave and all the sudden
a young women comes around the corner and says there is water in the Relief
Society room... so we run back there and there is water dripping from the
ceiling! So by the time we get a garbage can and put it under there... the
water started to pour from the ceiling!!!!!!!!!! It was everywhere!! So we
ended up tearing off all the pictures and getting everything out of there and
we ran out! They called the fire department and I guess the pipes froze and
then burst and yes... it was a mess! So we got a picture with the fire truck...
don't worry! :) But it was crazy! The whole back half of our church is
flooded and currently under construction! Crazy night...
Friday: We had the best day ever on Friday! We taught 7
lessons! It was a record for me..... We were able to teach our recent convert
and her son! They are both growing in the gospel sooo much! Then we were able
to go and see an investigator again and help him with his faith! Then we saw a
Less Active that we haven't seen in a while and that was really great... we had
a lesson with her kids! Then we were able to go and see another recent convert
we hadn't see in a while but she is great and she gave us a referral! :) Then
we went to dinner at a member house!! Wooo! And then we had a lesson with a kid
who comes to Young Mens and his mom even joined in the lesson! We taught them
about the Book of Mormon and the Spirit was so strong!!!! I love being able to
tell people about that Book for the first time... simply amazing! They agreed
to read it and agreed to meet with us again! Hopefully something will come out
of that! :) But yes... that was our day! The best!
Saturday: Not such a busy day, but we were able to go and
see a member who is sick and we talk and comforted her for a sec, then we were
able to go get our recent convert and go and teach an inactive member! That was
fun! She loves coming out with us! She is such a good teacher! She testified to
him this week about the Holy Ghost! She said she loves it so much and you
always have to be doing the right things or it’s gone!!! ha she is just so
cute! :) I want you all to meet her! I am trying to tell her to move to Utah...
don't know how well that is going... ha! But anways... we did some contacting
and found 2 new prospects! Got return appts for next week so hopefully
something comes out of that! Then I'm not even gonna lie to you... for our
dinner hour Sister Legg and I went and got Sushi! :)
Sunday: Well since our church is not doing so good right
now... ha we were only were able to have one of our of church meetings and only
use the chapel! So it was good... we had Sacrament meeting and the Spirit was
great! :) As much drama happens in this ward I really truly love them all! I am
really going to miss them if I ever get transferred! We had a couple investigators
at church so that nice! And a guy who is planning on moving into Rockland
County has been investigating the church for 10 years... he showed up and we
were talking and he said his plan is to move her and get baptized! Pretty cool
right? :) So we will see how that goes! :) After church we were able to
get all our studies in… nice! :) Then we tried to think of all the people that
weren't going to be watching the super bowl and we took our recent convert and
went and saw some members and then we saw this guy who showed up at church the
other day and we had an interesting lesson with him... He is from the body of
Christ church and he pretty much just wanted to convert us.... nice try
buddy! But that was our night! Pretty good week I'd say! :)
Wonderful week though! :) We were able to teach 21 lessons
this week! The work here is really great and I am so grateful to be a part of
it! I couldn't think of anything better than being able to testify to people
what I KNOW to be true! As a missionary I literally get to offer people lasting
peace and happiness. I bring to them the blessings of the Atonement of Jesus
Christ! Through Him, everyone gets a second chance, a chance to be better! To
live a better life! How lucky am I?
Well hope you all have a great week!!!!!! :) hope it is
staying warm... don't worry it's not here. ha! Well Love you all very much!
Talk to ya next week!
