Something Clever

This week has been an interesting one. WE NEED NEW INVESTIGATORS! So we have been hunting. It has been great. We have seen many miracles as we search.  We have talked and got a lot of potential investigators and are just praying lots on where to go.

We have been trying to work a lot with Less active members. Some crazy statistics that President Hoover told us yesterday have encouraged us to keep working with them and  pushing more activation. Hopefully many miracles with the District will start occurring and people will keep trying to strengthen it.

This week we met with Gail Nelson, she has made so many improvements to her life. She told us this week that she wants to quit smoking again and that she is ready to come back to church. She has been to church 2 times and loved it both times! She has a desire to be better and to improve her life. Everyone has been so excited to see her.

 

Another cool experience that we had was with Brother Kendziorski. He is trying to come back to church too, but just trying to find the confidence to do so. This week we had no idea what to talk to him about. So right before the lesson we decide we are just going to wing it and see what the spirit wants us to do. Well we talked about setting and achieving our goals that we want to achieve in life. At the end he thanked us so much and said that is exactly what he needed to hear. We were so grateful for that. I know that the spirit is the ultimate teacher and with out the spirit nothing will happen. We left him a talk to read from the last conference, to the Friends and Investigators of the Church by Elder Coastas. He texted us and said, wow that talk really hit home. That was me in 1995. Then on Sunday him and his son showed up to church! Great things happen as we are diligent in sharing the gospel with EVERYONE! 

 

We also had a great activity this week at the church. It was scripture Olympics. We got a text on Thursday of one of the ladies who was in charge of doing something with the Old testament and asked if we could do it. So of course we said. YES! So I hurry and thought up a Jeopardy Game of the Creation. IT was great fun. Questions included. What were the generations of Adam? Who dwelt in the City of Nod? How old did Adam live till? etc. They all had a great time and the activity was fantastic. We even had our investigator Barb there who absolutely loved it and wants to come to the next activity as well. I love being able to do so many great things out here.

 

Yesterday church was amazing. Tina Paige gave her first talk and did absolutely amazing on it. She is making so much progress. Also brother Wilder gave a talk and we have been working on reactivating him too so that was a happy day. We then heard from Brother Renlisbacker from the stake. He gave a profound talk about how we need to trust in the lord more and he will trust us. It gave some good food for thought. IT made me think that when we do things are we trusting that the Lord will do it for our good and that he will answer us? As we do it the Lord can trust us with more and more and will keep having us do things for him. To continue the kingdom on the earth today. One quote I especially loved was, "When I feel the most alone is when Christ has the most Faith in me."

I love you all. I hope that you have a wonderful week!
