What a wonderful week! It was a roller
coaster, but we had some amazing lessons and experiences! I also can’t believe
I rolled up on my year mark. It’s scary to think that I only have a year left
of this! I have so much that I need to accomplish still and learn. I would
never have thought that time would pass by so fast. What a great journey it
is!
So I guess I will give you an update on Marcus! He is doing fantastic. He is still ready to go on Sunday for his baptism! He is doing so solid, he came to church with us and we had a great lesson on the life of Christ. We also had a class our third hour on Family History; he is thrilled that he can do work for his deceased ancestors. I have never seen anyone so excited about Family History in my life. It was really neat. He is spending the day today up in DC at the temple. He wanted to go to the visitor’s center before he gets baptized on Sunday--so solid! I'm also happy my companion is going to be able to see an awesome baptism that he has worked hard for before he goes home! Marcus has been the biggest blessing!
So our area is in an awkward stage of rebuilding our teaching pool! We have some awesome friends learning about the church that are progressing very well but we have been praying and working very hard to find people that are looking for the truth! So please keep us in your prayers that we can accomplish our goals :)
We had something neat happen to us this week that was a little out of the usual. We were walking, trying to find some people to teach and we were headed down this street and a guy stopped and pulled over, rolled down his window and asked for a pamphlet. After trying to play us for a minute, he started to be a real jerk. He told us some pretty mean stuff and then cussed us out and drove off.... It was a little hard. We were already having a bad day--I was upset with what happened.
Well my companion was a great example to me and we tried to just brush it off and keep going. We did, and about an hour later, we were walking on a main street and a car did the same thing, only this time it was a very nice man that went and bought us some water and gave it to us and told us how much he admired us for our service. That man left, and no less than a minute later, a sports car did the same thing! A different man stopped and told us how thankful he was for our service and he asked if he could do anything for us!
What I learned from that experience is that the Lord is very mindful of his missionaries. I felt the Love of my Heavenly Father as he prompted these men to simply stop and thank us for our hard work. He is so mindful of his children and he is ready to support us and lift us through our trials as long as we do as he asks of us!
I hope everyone has a great week! I
love you all! Keep the Faith!
