I hope your week was great! I know its weird getting an email on Tuesday not Monday but we had to change our P-Day today so that we could go to the temple since we are so close and that is the only answer to a prayer I can get. So I'm going with a ton of questions to the temple. It's going to be great! I'm so excited!
My week was great! One of the best weeks I've had here in Fairport! Monday was a great P-Day! It was good to hear from some of you! So grateful for your support and love! Means a lot!! We did our FHE with the Crocker family again! They love it and it's so much fun to be with them. We also saw the recent convert Thibisa and taught her about repentance.
Tuesday was a day that we got 2 new investigators in one day! I haven't had that in a long time. It was so awesome! One was a lady that we met in a parking lot. She was smoking a cigarette and I went to shake her hand and she tossed the cigarette and said she wanted to quit, well I said we could help her with that and she was interested! Her name is Pam Sinker and she is around 60 years old. She's awesome. We also had the feelig to contact a former investigator in our area book. So we went over to her house, her name is Tommye Smith. She
answered and was happy to see us! She said she still reads the Book of Mormon even after 5 years of not meeting with missionaries or any contact with the church! She stopped investigating because her daughter made her though. So that'll be a tough one to crack. But she wants us to continue to come over. Actually, we got 3 new investigators that day! Tuesday night we saw Janice Hunsinger, a lady who has been interested in family history. She brought her husband with her and we set up an appointment with both of them! So that was awesome!
Wednesday was our service day at Saints Place and we went to the city to drop of some furniture at a couple different places but we all didn't fit in the truck so the Victor elders had to drive their car behind us. They were under by like 400 miles so it didn't effect them much at all. But it was a good thing because the Saints Place guy,
Micheal had to go run an errand so we hopped into the Victor elders car and headed back but stopped to grab lunch at the Dinosaur BBQ, and let me tell ya mom and dad we are coming back here when we come. It is so
good. The rest of Wednesday we had tracting time in and we found Jay Kayser, he told us to come back at the end of April because he was super busy with finding a new job, he gave us all his contact info and we gave him stuff to read for now. It was awesome.
Thursday was a long day, we had district meeting and the rest of the day was mainly tracting... ya gotta love it. Not such luck today though. Our appointment with Pam Sinker fell through. So we took the priest we had
with with us, Addison tracting for an hour or so. It was awesome. He did a great job! We ended the night seeing a couple members and teaching them about the Book of Mormon.
Friday we had interviews with POresident. My interview was life changing. It was the best one I've had so far. Really helped me out. President is the man. We had weekly planning afterwards then we had lessons scheduled with Pam and Tommye and we got see them both! Pam told us in our lesson that she would like to be baptized. Not now but in the summer. It was so cool. She is ready to learn she'll eat it up. Tommye told us more about how she reads the Book of Mormon and we got to find out her interest level. It was a good visit with her. We did more
tracting. We tracted this apartment duplex neighborhood, we have a couple return appointments in there now! Hopefully the spirit will work on them.
Saturday was a day that felt like it was pulling teeth. We had 0 appointments so we tracted all day long. It was awesome but we didn't even hand out a Book of Mormon. No one was having it. It was kinda discouraging but can't let it stop ya. We did do some less active finding and found a less active that has met with missionaries for a
couple months now. And she is crazy..... we knocked on her door and she opened the door and started crying, not because of us but because of the song she had on the radio. Which was a Bruno Mars song. Then she told us
her life story. I don't think she was all the way there. Ha it was entertaining.
Sunday was a very spiritual day. Services were great. The spirit was so strong throughout the whole day. We saw a less active and a couple active families. We taught them about the Book of Mormon. It was great! I love helping people understand the Book of Mormon more fully. It so awesome. The thing we have been teaching the is that the Book of Mormon is a revelation about revelation. You can read the Book of Mormon and it'll show you how to get and how revelation comes.
Monday was a great day! We cleaned out our area book in the morning and went tracting in the afternoon for a little bit. But it was so nice we decided we would go try street contacting for a little bit and it turned out that everyone and their dog were outside walking Main Street! So we got to meet some really cool people! It was awesome. We had dinner with probably one of my favorite families in the ward. The Neyts. They are so awesome. Then we had FHE with the Crocker family and visited with Thibisa!
This week has been awesome. And its only going to get better, especially this weekend. I'm so excited for general conference! I'm excited to hear the words of the lord spoken throughout prophet and apostles. I'll bear my testimony of them, that I know that they are called of God and they are special witnesses of our savior Jesus Christ. They speak the words of the living Christ. This is His church. The only true church. How blessed are we to be part of it? I love all of you and hope you have a blessed week.
Love,
Elder Judy
