This week was a blur, can't tell if it was fast or slow! It was great tho! Grateful for everyday that I have to wear the lord's name on my chest and testify of him and our father in heaven.
Monday was another great p-day! Loved hearing from y'all! Such a motivator to work harder for all of you back home! Not much happened Monday just another P-day in New York and we had family home evening with our bishop and his family the Biesingers!
Tuesday we met with Donald and Tessa, we got the news that Tessa is having a really hard time trying to kick smoking and coffee. That was depressing. So we are working on that with her but she won't be baptized anytime soon. She doesn't have the support she needs from her fiancé Donald, which is sad cause she wants it so bad. We helped them see a vision and set a goal for smokes free by December first, so that means Tessa has to cut 2 cigs out a day for her to be having no cigs after December 1st. Praying she will keep pushing through. Other than that it was a pretty slow day! Haha
Wednesday we had exchanges and I heard Trump was elected, don't know if that's good or not. Haha! I went on exchanges with Elder Marks and I took over Medina for the day for the first time! It was awesome, we tracted and taught a couple less actives! We handed out 12 Book of Mormons! It was a solid day! Love this work.
Thursday was a windy cold day!!! We tracted a little bit and no one, literally no one answered the door. It was a punch to the face. Haha but as we were walking back the lord always provides for the obedient to his promptings, we were prompted to tract Hedley Street and we did and nothing came of it. But as we walked back to the apartment the lord put Shiela in our path! She accepted a Book of Mormon and gave us her name, phone number and address! It was awesome. We had ward correlation Thursday night and we went and visited Sister Kramer and
she had knitted mittens for all of us elders! She is the sweetest!
Friday was an interesting day! We "broke up" with Scott F. Haha he was playing games and did something really uncalled for and we just decided it would be best if we told him to back off and let us do our work. It has been so nice to not get a text message every 10 minutes. Then we talked to bishop about some concerns we had and he addressed them and helped us out a lot. Bishop Biesinger is the man! Love him so much! We also had weekly planning... so boring but makes the week so full of fun and effective things. We also taught Daniel the law of chastity and word of wisdom! He is so sick. Daniel is the man and he's will be baptized in November 26th. I'm so excited for him!
Saturday we had some service we did the the stake president, President Pace! We chopped some wood and stacked it for a member in the ward! Then we went to his new home that is being built and helped out with some
things there and then he decided he would take us out to this plot of property he just inherited right in the Oak Orchard River, which is suppose to be the best bass, salmon fishing in western New York and his land is at the mouth of it! And he told me that I could come back and hunt his property! President Pace is a spiritual giant! He is
so cool. So humble. Defiantly a big example to me out here in Medina. We also had the adult session of stake conference! It was good and Sister and President Pace spoke, they are literally the coolest people in western New York!
Sunday we had stake conference and we had 3 investigators and one recent convert! And it was over an hour drive! Donald and Tessa were there, Daniel was there, and Marcus, Susan's son was there! And Scott, the 18 year old who was just baptized hung out with us like all day! Scott has opened up a lot to us since he was baptized!
He will be getting the priesthood soon and wants to go do missionary work with us! He also told us today that he has thought about going on a mission! So cool! Love Scott so much he is the man.
Well that is my week! Love you and I know the our lord and savior Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father love us too. There's no doubt in my mind, they did appear to Joseph Smith in that grove of trees in Palmyra, New York. Joseph Smith is a prophet of God and Thomas S. Monson is the prophet of these latter days. The Book of Mormon is truly the most correct book of any book upon this earth. It is the only way to true conversion in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Read it. Love it. Ponder it. These steps have changed my life for the better in these past 2 months. I love this gospel and I'm grateful for the opportunity to preach repentance to everyone I come in contact with.
Love,
Elder Judy
