Monday was a rad Pday, we got to go fishing at a members home! :) super fun! Then we did some tracting in Springville to close off the night!
Tuesday was a day full of lessons! We had branch correlation in the morning! It was pretty productive! Then we saw our homie Dennis Raines. He's a member that we do a weekly study with! He's a special guy. :) We had a lesson with our awesome investigators Katie and Taneeka! They are sisters and progressing really well! They're awesome! They are looking forward to baptism! Katie just needs to get hitched and she will get baptized! We had a lesson with Amanda and her daughters Jasmine and Lily. We taught them the 10 commandments and showed them the hand signals for each one! They loved it! We did some finding in Sandusky! We cleaned out all the potentials and formers there! It's ready to be tracted out here in a couple weeks!
Wednesday was a special day for the Buffalo south and north zones! We got to have zone conference at the Sacred Grove!!! It was amazing! We got to do a tour then we sat in amphitheater in the grove and sang
"Joseph Smith's First Prayer" and "Praise to the Man" and I've never felt the spirit so strongly before. It was a moving experience. One I will never forget. We got to go into the grove by ourselves and seek revelation just as Joseph Smith and I went straight to the place I got an answer 2 years ago. And I asked God some more questions and the experience I had was one that is sacred to me. It changed my life. Two years ago and this past week. I'm truly blessed to be able to serve in this sacred place.
Thursday was another spirit filled day! Being the district leader I get to interview candidates for baptism and the Gowanda Elders had 2 that were ready for the interview, I had the privilege to interview both and it was another humbling experience. Bruce was the first man I interviewed and through out the whole interview the spirit was there
and I could feel god's love for him. And god's approval for him to be baptized. The second man Micheal, we both were bawling through the interview. He's a remarkable man. Has quite the story. It was a truly humbling experiences. Later that evening we had a lesson with Jesse Sexton.
Friday was our planning day! We planned for about half the day then went out and had a couple of lessons. It was a great day!
Saturday all our appointments fell through so we spent the day finding less actives and potential / former investigators. We also had a going away party for Anthony! He's moving to Utah today! Gonna miss him! Afterwards we did so,e finding in Springville before we had a lesson with a part member family that lived in Arcade.
Sunday was a great fast Sunday! I love fast and testimony meetings! Specially in smaller branches. It's wonderful! The people are great! It's a humbling experience just serving in an area like this! We had a lot of lesson after church and ended the night with out branch president and his family! They are super awesome!
Sorry this is all thrown together.... I had a good one typed out and it disappeared.... love you all and have a great week!
Love,
Elder Judy
