Hey Y’all!
It was a great week in the freezing cold. Lol. It was actually really nice this week at the beginning, then we got pounded with snow!! So awesome. This week we focused on doing the will of god and following the spirit in all things. We saw MIRACLES!
Monday, was a chill p-day. Our fridge was empty so we did lots of shopping. The pipes at the church building burst from the freezing cold and flooded half the building so that was cool. Monday evening we had a couple hours of finding. We found 2 people! Jordan and Laurie. Adam and Megan Record, a less active couple got married! They are making great steps in the gospel! We had a lesson with Colleen! She’s getting so close! 1 week smoke free.
Tuesday, I had a conference call with all the district leaders in the mission and we were trained by president. It was great. Then we went straight to district meeting. I trained more on goal setting and made a Canandaigua district standard of excellence:
4 baptized a month
3 people invited to be baptized weekly per companionship
8 people at church a week as a district
22 new investigators a week as a district
Some gnarly goals! I’m excited to see the miracles! We helped set up for a funeral in the ward, then finished our studies. It was full day of finding. I made a promise at district meeting that all areas will be able to find 1 new investigator today. It came true in our area at the last minute. We found a guy from Africa. His name is Second and he loved the restoration and wants to worship in Christ's church.
Wednesday, we had lunch with Brother Hansen at Pontillo's Pizza, then went to our lesson with Sarah.... I will not be going back into that house to say the least. Haha we had to drop her cause she's not in a environment to live the gospel at all. We did some street contacting and found 3 people! That’s a miracle.
Thursday, ohhh boy. Needless to say, we might have gotten bed bugs by helping a member clean his apartment. Lol. It was Bad. We had a full day of lessons and still found 2 people to teach! We met Stephanie. She accepted baptism and a date all in the first contact.
Friday, we helped the Fenn family move their mother's stuff to a storage unit. Then did weekly planning. We did some finding in Farmington and found a couple other people! Had dinner then knocked doors in an ice storm. Lol. Exchanged with the zone leaders and had a lesson with Amanda Steele. She’s getting tough to teach.
Saturday, we woke up to a lot of snow! Colleen had her interview for her baptism and passed!! Then we drove down to Penn Yan and interviewed another man for baptism. Lots of things happening in my district right now it’s awesome! We did some finding. During dinner I burnt the poo outta my fingers and the mission nurse said to stay in the rest of the night and soak my hands in cold water. So we did that and watched online proselyting videos in preparation for getting Facebook in the next week!
Sunday, TERA CAME TO CHURCH!!!! This was huge. My whole time in Canandaigua I've invited her and she has never came. She loved it and felt the spirit so strongly! It was awesome. The other 5 that were suppose to come bailed last minute... after church we did some finding in Bloomfield and found a old man named Rick who had a Book of Mormon sitting on his coffee table and he's excited to meet with us!
It was a great week!
