This week was super good. It was a long week because we had
Proselyting Monday because Labor Day was yesterday. But it was a good week
still. Last Tuesday after emails we went out to a pier by the beach. We aren't
allowed to touch the sand but we can still go out on piers. Which is a little
weird, but I'm not complaining.
Lots of work to be done in our area because of
the lack of investigators we have. Our recent-convert Ruth had a friend that we
were teaching but she left to go back to Brazil because of family problems. So
we're doing lots of finding right now. This Friday we had a District Blitz
where the whole district comes together and knocks in one area all of us at the
same time to find investigators for a specific companionship. It was pouring
when we went.
Sunday we had our Branch break
the fast which is always the best thing in the world, cause you know, food. So
good. And yesterday we had a branch bbq where we got to go eat, play some
soccer in the rain, and really just strengthen our relationship with our recent
converts and members. So much fun playing soccer in the rain. But, that's about
it for this week. I've been reading a lot of church history lately in the book
I found at the church. And one thing that's really amazed me is that people let
dumb little things get in the way of true testimony. For example, a few people
decided to leave the church because their missions weren't successful in their
eyes. Others left because their horse died on the way to Zion. Another because
Joseph Smith accidentally spelled his named wrong. Simple little things that
get in the way of not truly applying the gospel into their lives. You can see
that in Laman and Lemuel as well. They saw an angel, they heard the voice of
God, but didn't apply it in their lives and fell away. Sometimes this happens
with investigators as well. We leave feeling the Spirit so strong, but the
investigator doesn't apply themselves and doesn't' act. It's so sad. Anyways,
done with my rant. I'll keep doing my best to take pictures and keep sending
em! Love you all!
