Monday, it was great day until our most progressing investigator texted us and said “the mormons are not for me.” We dropped everything and went and talked with her, turned out she fell into temptation and smoked over the weekend and was thinking she wasn't worthy. We prayed with her and she asked god if he wanted her to be baptized and after the prayer she said her heart felt light. And committed to continue meeting with us. Thank goodness.
Tuesday, was a day full of finding in 6 inches of snow! We did lots of tracting and didn't find a soul... we had a lesson with Sarah, a lady that we found a couple weeks ago, we taught her the gospel and she committed to come to church. And to end the night we tracted in 10 degree weather from 8-9!
Wednesday, we had exchanges and I went to Geneva with Elder Emry. This is his last week in the field and he was super trunky. But we still got stuff done! We put one of their investigators on date and found a couple people to teach! It was great! And we also got to go to Cam’s Pizza in Geneva... I ate there a year before my mission! Crazy! Haha. We had a lesson with their recent convert Jack. I had the opportunity to interview Jack for baptism. It was good to see him again and see the progress he's made since he was baptized!
Thursday, first thing we had district meeting. I trained on testifying to peoples needs through inspired questions. It went really well. My district is just so awesome. It’s been a great transfer. After district meeting we came back to Canandaigua and finished up studies. And we had a half hour before a lesson so we prayed and had God lead us to an apartment building and the first door we knock on we met Sam. She was very open and accepted the invitation to meet with us! That was awesome! She seems really interested. We had a lesson with Chris. I’m worried about her... we had dinner all our appointments fell through so we ended up finding from 6-9...
Friday, we had a great weekly planning session. We had a lesson with Colleen and we had President Pitts come along and we put her on date for January 4th and committed her to live the word of wisdom. I think she's got it this time. We did some finding until dinner. Did some more finding after dinner and ended the night seeing Amanda Steele. She’s progressing really well! Its been cool to watch! She’s on date for January 6th.
Saturday, we had a lesson with Nichole Lapointe. She’s 17 years old and has been taught by the Sister for a while. She comes to the Canandaigua Ward. She’s awesome. Just waiting to turn 18 to be baptized. We also found all day today... I also got to FaceTime to my first area and talk with Mike Gates because he got baptized today!!! Exactly a year after we started teaching him is the day he gets dunked. Super cool. Mike is the man.
Sunday, we had 4 people at church! That was awesome! Had a great block of church. After church we planned out our day then hit the pavement. We went to Bloomfield and did some door knocking. Had dinner then stayed in Canandaigua for the rest of the night.
The theme of this week was flakey appointments. We had lots of growing time. I loved it, even though it was really hard to tract in 10 degrees. My body was freezing but my heart was full and warm. I love being a missionary.
Mosiah 28:3
“Now they were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish; yea, even the very thoughts that any soul should endure endless torment did cause them to quake and tremble.”
Love,
Elder Judy
