1. A little over 6 months. He came out with Elder Chamberlain who I trained.
2. Do you get fed by members in this area every day, or no?
2. Not very much like 2 times a week
maybe.
3. How was your bike ride last week?
3. It was way fun! 26 miles and some
really pretty views.
So this week has been great! We
had a baptism for the 14-year-old girl Isabella. It was really great to see her
start her life off with a good choice like that. We have been working really
hard and have been seeing miracles. We have quite a few investigators in that
area just waiting for a sure answer. We will keep praying for them, bringing
the Spirit in to bless their life and help them recognize the answers that they
are getting.
One thing that I learned this week
was about fasting. Yesterday we decided to fast for our investigators. We
fasted morning til night, 3 meals, 24 hours. It was hard because we did a lot
of walking. We went out and visited people and talked with people from 4 until
9pm. It was a long hard day and we were getting nothing. People were nice but
"not interested". We kept going even though we both felt like giving
up but then we just decided that we could do it.
We were both starving and tired and
then the very last door at 8:15 we knocked and it was the house of a very well-known
person in the community and everybody knows them in the town of St. Maries. They
talked to us for a long time! We found some great service opportunities and
ended up being able to talk about the Gospel finding that they were very open
and willing to learn. We gave them a Book of Mormon and some pamphlets and
committed them to read. It was just a testament of how God will bless us if we
stay diligent. It also helped me gain a huge testimony of fasting and how God
recognizes our sacrifices for Him and will bless us accordingly.
PS: I need some hair stuff this week
please. Also some allergy pills would be nice too. Thanks!
