Tuesday we drove down to Amherst to pick up Elder Hahne! Got to know him a little bit and then we had some lessons and we got to introduce him to some of the members of Medina! Elder Hahne is pretty cool, he's super quiet. He's from Toole, UT and has been out a transfer longer than me so we are both pretty new. So excited for this transfer. Wednesday, no more 12 week training for me. All done! Imma big boy now! Haha after having 3 baptisms here in the promise land of Medina the waters of Mormon are starting to shrivel up into a drought. The
work hit a brick wall last week. We went from 15-18 other lessons a week to 7 this week.... we did a lot of tracting in the cold snowy weather. We tracted for about 1.5 hours today, we invited every person who answered the door to be baptized on there porch. We extended 7 invitations and no one excepted! Haha so sick! We are trying so hard and working our bums off but no one is having it. Kinda depressing. Thursday elder verdine had his exit interview and elder hahne and I went and tracted some more. We don't wanna waste anytime. We had no luck again. The lord will eventually answer our prayers, I know for a fact he will. It's on his time we just have to have faith and trust him, he won't give us anything we can't get take on. As we stay exactly obedient he will bless us even more. We had lunch with President Pace and president Evans! It was awesome! The 2 most
spiritual men in western New York and I had lunch with them. It was an awesome experience.
Friday we taught Jeremiah the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jeremiah is 22 years old and an honest seeker of the truth. He's so cool. He's on date for January 7th. I know for a fact he'll be prepared for that day. He's so solid. He's like the only person that we are teaching steadily right now as well. So once he gets baptized we are really
going to be hurting! Haha! Jeremiah is the man, he always asks really good questions and always addresses his concerns, like he had a concern that the Book of Mormon was altered version of the Bible but then I said let's turn to 2 Nephi 29 were it talks about the 2 testimonies one being the Bible and the other being the Book of
Mormon. And that cleared everything up with him. So awesome! We also had the Lockport Ward Christmas party! It was a lot of fun! Saturday we woke up to a blanket of snow! It was awesome! We met with
a couple less actives, just trying to help them not get offended again, that's a huge problem with the Lockport ward. Everyone gets offended so easy. It's weird. We contacted some member referrals, they weren't interested at all! Haha and we also knocked on this sketchy house and this girl opens up and let us in and we just set up an appointment and got out of there cause all 3 of us didn't really have a good feeling about the house! So we set up an appointment for next week with them at the library! Haha!
Sunday Jeremiah was at church! He loved it! Said that Mormonism is looking better and better for him! We also had the buffalo stake Christmas concert in Amherst! We rode down with Stake President Pace. He always blows our mind with scripture. Love that man so much. He tells us his mission stories all the time and there so inspiring! He's a man I look up to! We had a conversion story testimony meeting in his car in the ride home, Cause the roads were bad from the snow and he was driving slow so we had like an 2 hour drive just sharing each other's conversion stories and how we've seen the gospel in our lives. It was so awesome!
Well there's my week! Medina is good. Loving my mission more and more everyday. Don't wanna come home. It already seems to close and I haven't even been out 4 months! Haha these past 3 1/2 months have changed my life. I'm so grateful for the gospel in my life, I'm grateful for all of the support you guys give me. It makes life out
here a lot easier when I hear from ya! I want y'all to know that this gospel is true! The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ, and it really does change lives. I've seen it happen in 4 people's lives, 3 of my recent converts and myself. Im grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ and the opportunity to use my agency to use the atonement everyday to become more like Jesus Christ, cause that's all this life is about. Earth is a state of time were we should prepare ourselves to meet god. I know that everything about this
gospel is true without a doubt in my mind. I say these things in the name of thy son, Jesus Christ, amen.
Love,
Elder Judy
