February 27, 2017 - 6 months, 18 more! - Victor, NY

Howdy!

This week was great here in the cradle of the restoration! Hope all is well in Idahome!

First off- mom I need somethings....
• a smaller shoulder bag.... mine is huge.
• another journal, I don't care if it's like the one Nate has or another 3 ringed one. Perhaps a Book one
• and finally an iPad case with a key board? Not bulky tho.... small slim
Hopefully that isn't to much to ask for! Your the best momma! 

Monday was a great P-day! We spent it in Palmyra with almost the whole zone again! It was a lot of fun! Like always. It so cool to be so close to the grove and hill. It's so awesome! All of our appointments after Pday fell through so we had to act fast and ended up seeing a couple members and reaching them the restoration! It was so awesome and the spirit was felt.

Tuesday we spent the morning calling potentials and former investigators and also members to set up nightly appointments so we could ask if we can teach there friends. Haha we went and tried contacting some potentials on foot in the town if Fairport but had no luck. It was a rough morning for missionary work. We went to go teach David Meyer the restoration! And he told us that he had read all the way up to Alma 12... this man is retired and all he has done is read the Book of Mormon and family history. It's crazy! The lesson we had with him was really spiritual and we invited him to go tot he sites with us in Thursday and he said yes! A old man let us in while tracting and I taught him a quick 2 minute restoration and asked if we could share the plan of salvation with him sometime and he said no... but we got him a copy of the Book of Mormon and a pamphlet! At least it's in his house.

Wednesday was our service day! We did service at saints place again! This time we stayed at the house and helped organize there and they had a lady who got a new desk so we helped them with that. Well the new desk was really heavy... like super heavy! Haha and we had to take it up some stairs that had a 90 degree turn in them. So long story short I had to lift it above my head to get over the railing while Elder Griener watched. Haha made me mad. But I got it up the stairs and into the office! We did more tracting after service and had scripture study!

Thursday we met with David at his house and he drove us out to Palmyra! We went to the grove first and after the tour before we entered the grove I read Moroni 10:3-5 with him and invited him to pray. Well as we were walking up to the grove he stopped and said he already believes in the Book of Mormon. He knows it can't be made up.
So that was so awesome to hear! But he said he has baggage.... he was brought up of another faith and he was told to never join the Mormon church, so we gotta help him jump that hurtle in his life. But over all we had a really good time at the sacred sites!

Friday was my 6 month mark! And it was a stressful day of planning... right now we are covering 2 areas and to play it safe we did 2 weekly planning sessions one for each area. We don't know if they'll split the area or keep it combined so we decided we rather be safe than sorry! So we spent 4 hours planning..... that was terrible! Haha then we were told that one of our apartments is being moved so we had to clean up the apartment and prep it for the pack up on Friday.  We went over to a less actives house to burn my tie! He gave me lighter fluid and a propane torch. It was pretty sweet. Haha defiantly a memory made!

Saturday we did service at the victor library and then we came back to the apartment and started the pack up. We did that most of the day. It's going to be nice to be out of that apartment. It was such a dump. We taught a drug dealer after we finished packing so that was cool. He will be at church as well! Haha we had a couple member appointments to finish that night!

Sunday was a great day! At sacrament meeting the members seemed to finally catch on to what we have been encouraging them to do! Missionary work! And we finally saw a couple members bring there friends to church! It was awesome! And Brother Broadbent blessed his baby and invited us to be in the circle so that was cool! After church we had missionary meetings and all that good stuff! We had dinner with the Ross family! There super cool! Afterwards we had couple lessons with members! We got a referral from one of the families! So that was
awesome! And Sunday night was the night we found out about transfers, I'm going to Fairport!  My area got split! And Elder Falter will be my new companion! He came out with me so we both have been out 6 months
and he's super cool! It's going to be a lot of fun! So excited for this transfer!

Well there's my week for y'all! I know this church is true! The Book of Mormon is true! There's no way a man of a 3rd grade education could make up a book like the Book of Mormon. It is truly translated through the gift and power of god. It is so awesome. I know Joseph smith was a prophet of god. He was chosen to be the mouth piece of the lord and the prophet to restore this to church back to the earth in its fullness! I love this gospel so much and I can't wait to see what the next 18 months have in store! Love you all! Hope you have a great week!

Love,
Elder Judy
