Monday was a good p-day, we spent lots of time at the church like always! Haha! We had dinner with the Meyers. Sister Meyers is a member, not active and loves missionaries coming over. We helped them with a little bit of farm work then had a lesson with Tyrone! We taught Tyrone about prophets and the need for one. He's coming around, slowly but surely.
Tuesday was a day full of little miracles! We were able to get in contact with a former investigator! Bob Mossier, he's a member's father and is super anti against the church, well that's what we thought... we set up an appointment with him and will be teaching him the restoration!? God works in mysterious ways. I was shocked! Katie canceled our appointment... we had a lesson with Sister Tevis! We taught her the gospel of Jesus Christ, she's improving so much. It's so cool to watch! Next step is to come to church! We had dinner with the
mission leader, then had correlation with him. We did some area book work to start cleaning our area up some, then had a FaceTime lesson with Rebecca! We taught her the law of chastity.
Wednesday was a day chuck full of lessons, we had 8 planned and 6 of them went through! In the morning we read scriptures with Dennis then had a lesson with Sister Mason. She's less active due to health and is having some really bad complications recently, we go read to her to help her have peace! We had our lesson with Bob and it went great! He agreed with a lot of what we taught and accepted the invitation to be baptized! Super awesome! We drove up to Boston, NY to contact a referral that we had a set lesson with and he bailed.... so we had dinner in Springville then headed back to Machias and had a lesson with the Bain's family, they are a returning family. They are super awesome. We answered their questions about the gospel of Jesus Christ, Faith and Baptism. We tracted Franklin Street in Franklinville, no luck. Handed out a Book of Mormon. Went to Jessie Sexton's and he had to cancel when we got there, we spent time contacting people for the rest of the night in the village of Franklinville.
Thursday, we had district meeting in Freedom! I gave a training on teaching simply. Afterwards we had lunch and finished up studies, then we walked into the village of Arcade and tracted Park Street and had a lesson with Tyrone. We did another lesson on prophets but had it centered in the Book of Mormon. We stopped by Becky's and she let us in! We had a prophets lesson with her as well! We had dinner with the Bain's. We did some contacting and finding in Delevan, tracted Grove Street. At 8 o'clock we went to the church for wifi so we could have a
FaceTime lesson with Rebecca! This lesson we figured out how she liked what we taught and how she was feeling about it all.
Friday we planned in the morning and had a good session of it! Robert King, a member of the branch here took us out to lunch! Then we went out and got dumped on.... so we went to the church and cleaned up our area book. I texted literally everyone in our area book. It was ridiculous! Haha and only a couple people texted back.... we had dinner with the Miess family in Springville. We don't get to go to Springville too often so we stayed the rest of the night there finding. Their son Isaac is 16 and I got to take him out with me and we divided up and Isaac and I went one way and Shaw and Short went the other! It was a lot of fun. It was Isaac's first time out with missionaries. I took him tracting and he loved it!
Saturday was a nice day, we had a lesson with Sister Scales in the morning then met up with John Leffler, a recent convert. And he drove us all the way down to the bottom of our area to Black Creek. And again we all got out and John and I were companions and we tracted out Black Creek together! It was a lot of fun. It was John's first time out with missionaries as well. Got to break in 2 people this week! John and I had some really good contact with people but the problem is they live an hour away and we don't have the miles or the members to take us down there twice a week to teach them. We were on a mission for this cause tho, the Wellsville elders called us and said they had found someone in their area that lives in Black Creek but didn't get her address, so they told us to go tract out the town looking for her. That's exactly what we did, but with no luck! Haha! We had another lesson with Rebecca! She's so awesome! We taught her the word of wisdom!
Sunday was a long day, we had a interesting church meeting.... it was bad. Haha! We had lots of less actives there! After church we did studies then headed out contacting people cleaning up our area. We tracted in
Delevan on the way to an appointment. We gave Sister Mason the sacrament! Had dinner with the Coopers! We talked to them about going to the temple and their daughter being baptized and they loved the idea and
want to start working towards it! So awesome! And we saw Becky before the night was done, we answered her questions and read the Book of Mormon with her!
Life in the NYRM is going well! The church is true, there is no doubt in my mind. Read the Book of Mormon everyday! You won't regret the blessings you'll receive! Love you all!
Love,
Elder Judy
