Monday was a great pday! We played lots of basketball at the mission office! To end the day we had FHE with the Crocker family that is less active, and we had a lesson with Thibisa who is a recent convert! And her mom
sat in on our lesson about the atonement with us! It was awesome. Tuesday we woke up to it snowing outside and thought it would be a great to go shovel potential investigators driveways so we went down to the mission office and got shovels and went shoveling next to the mission office. We went to Barbara's house, she is a potential that we shoveled her driveway awhile ago so we thought we would go help her out again! She was out doing it herself so it was perfect! We helped her out and she invited us in for hot chocolate! We were able to also teach her the plan of salvation! It was awesome. But while we were in the lesson the zone leaders called us multiple times... so we gave them a call back and they said that we need to go to our apartment. So we started driving there but couldn't even make it through the intersection and our apartment was a 15 minute drive... so we ended up
making it to the Victor elders apartment and got stuck there for the day and the night cause it only got worse.
Wednesday we were all sick of sitting inside so we went out to the parking lot and ended up shoveling a strip wide enough for a car through the whole parking lot and spent from 7am- 7:30pm shoveling out cars and driveways. The ending count was 14 cars and 10 driveways. It was a tiring day. But well worth it! During our lunch break Elder
Gardner and I got this great idea to go swimming. The video is below. And we made it back to our apartment safely Wednesday night.
Thursday Elder Falter had his doctors appointment in Brockport so we drove out there! Then had district meeting at 11am. It was a very inspiring meeting! We talked a lot about being 100% obedient and the blessings from it. I felt Ike I got punched in the face... I'm exactly obedient but I don't feel like I've been meeting my full potential my
mission. So that is my goal this week is to study that area and see if I can improve in anyway. We didn't have a dinner appointment so we went to the mission office and Elder and Sister Spencer ended up taking us to Applebee's! They are my favorite! We ended the night visiting some youth and getting them a personal mission plan set up. That was guidance from President Evans, he wants us to work more with the youth.
Friday was weekly planning and we also had a lesson with Jeff Ornt. It was so spiritual. Hopefully it kicked him in the right direction. We had a lesson with Lela McCoullough! She's my homie. My favorite less active. She started coming to church more often after her son was killed in a car accident. I think it so awesome that she turned to the
church in that time of need. We did a little bit of tracting in a very wealthy part of our area.... no such luck. We ended the night it's a lesson with Joan! Our most progressing investigator who is on date for April 22! She's awesome, she poured her heart out to us saying she wants to get an answer that this is true but doesn't have time to read or ponder. So we invited her to put God first in her life and to read the Book of Mormon for 5 minutes a day. I believe that this will help her find more peace and happiness in her life for sure.
Saturday was a slow day, we had nothing planned but God was on our side so he made it snow again so we went out and did some more unplanned service! We went and shoveled less actives driveways, we didn't get in contact with any of them but we are cleaning out our area book as well and we got to do some of that! Always so much fun! We ended the night by teaching a couple member families about the Book of Mormon and how its a book about a revelation about revelation. Read the first 14 pages and find out for yourself of how Lehi ad Nephi received
revelation or direction from God. It's awesome.
Sunday was a get Sabbath day! Sacrament was full of the spirit! One funny thing that happened was Elder Falter forgot the phone at the apartment so we were driving back to the apartment to get it before a member appointment and we were stopped at a intersection at a red light and all the sudden I felt a little tap on the car and looked back and this guy had just kissed our back bumper! Haha so i got out and told him to follow us and he did. We got to a parking lot and we got out and nothing had happened to either car and the guy was very sorry but we ended up giving him a Book of Mormon and he gave us all of his information! He said he would love to us to come over! So that was crazy! The lord works in mysterious ways.
Well that was my week! It was a crazy fun one! I hope you all know that this church is true!! The Book of Mormon is the word of God! 2 Nephi 33:10 is one of my favorites. We have the full gospel of Jesus Christ that was restored through the prophet Joseph Smith. But none of this could've happen if it wasn't for the translation of the Book of
Mormon. D&C 5:4. The Book of Mormon was the first gift of this dispensation. And it continues to bless and guide us as we abide by it teachings. I love you all and hope you have a blessed up coming week!
Love,
Elder Judy
