Hey y'all, it's been a great week. Hope you enjoy reading about it
Eddie - taught him the plan of salvation and it was pretty good. He had never before thought much of the afterlife but now that we've talked he says it's been helping him put things into perspective and make different choices.
Then we saw him again Sunday morning, we watched Conference with him and a member and talked afterwards. He took lots of notes and it was super great. Cool story: when he had first started to come and wanted to join, he'd heard a rumor that we don't drink coffee. So he just quit. We hadn't even talked about it yet, so that was super cool.
Eisert - he's our ward mission leader and is one of the coolest guys ever. We go over and talk about missionary work and he asks us how we are doing and just have normal conversations. It's super nice. But this week we had this idea to pass out and post general conference flyers. So he made one and with his industrial printer, and printed out 120 flyers. We passed some out to our district, but didn't know about some flyer ban so... yeah. Super cool tho.
Edaleens - it's this ice cream place that is super popular up here. We were there late one night and started talking to this old guy. Turns out he was the dude who started Edaleens and my companion roasted him. It was so funny and the guy, Ed, laughed too. Super funny
Lois - She finally returned from her trip and Harmon met her for the first time. He could see her potential and how much she enjoyed the Gospel of Christ but had never really thought about baptism. So we read 2 Nephi 31 and talked about it. She is super willing but a little unsure about the commitment. We invited her to watch general conference and told her she would find her answer. Pray for her.
General Conference - so I made a ton of food. Muddy buddies, tres leches, cornbread, jello pretzel salad, and apple crisp. We got a projector set up and had a great time Saturday watching with the district, heard lots of talks that I loved, and ate way too much sugar. It was great!
Kevin - We saw him Sunday night and had a good lesson with him. Shared A Child's Prayer and asked him if he was able to build a relationship with God yet. He still feels like God hasn't answered his prayers yet and feels like God would send him a sign already. I asked him why he thinks we keep showing up.
He did a double take. He said he was going to think about it.
Alana - she came and watched the evening session with us and went to BWs afterwards. Super fun. But the cool part is that I gave her a paper for notes and she took some. We went over Sunday night and talked about it and she wrote: "act in faith, willingly." So we asked if she would act in faith and say a sincere prayer. She's doing that today so we'll see how it goes.
Transfers - I was so happy to find out I am staying in Blaine with Harmon. The only thing to note is that they are changing district lines so I will sadly not be seeing some of my favorite Elders. But life will go on.
Spiritual Thought - small acts of kindness go a long way. It helps people feel happy, it helps God be happy, and it helps you to become more like the Savior. All from one small act. A wave, smile, picking up trash, opening the door, letting someone merge in front of you. There are lots of things, all pretty simple, we just have to put forth the effort and it can bless three people, including you.
God loves you and sent His Son. Jesus loves you and died for your sins. Holy Ghost loves you and gives you comfort. I love you and tell you about my week.
I hope you show love back by showing kindness to those around you. Good luck and have a great week!
