This week was one for the books! Freezing cold and I've been sicker than a dog! Still got out and got work done though.
Monday, was a great pday, we got to see Colleen that evening and she quit smoking and is shooting to be baptized on the 27th of January. I love Colleen. I tracted into her on exchanges with Elder Harvey and we have been teaching her ever since. She is eating up the Book of Mormon. She loves the spirit she feels as she reads and desires to change her life.
Tuesday, we helped a lady named Lindsey move her apartment. She posted a video of water pouring out of her ceiling on facebook and one of the members in the ward saw it and sent her a message saying she knew two guys that would love to help her move. We got a member with a truck and helped her out. We will be teaching Lindsey this coming week:) Elder Churchill had a doctor appointment to get some happy pills and also had 1 hour of contacting so not much happened this afternoon. We got out after dinner and did some tracting in the cold! It was a good day.
Wednesday, we did lots of finding... got the cops called on us twice and started a fight in a group home... it was interesting. We’ve had to drop lots of people recently because they are flakey... stinks!! So we are doing lots pf finding. After dinner we did some more finding and tracted into this lady named Mariah! She’s super cool, kinda anti... but willing to read and pray to know if this is true. She worked at the Palmyra Inn for a little bit and knows lots of things about Joseph Smith that aren’t necessarily true... we run into a lot of that in this mission.
Thursday, we had district meeting to start off the day. We had interviews right after with President. He gave me some good advice for the things that I’m going through right now... talked a lot about my district and how I can help them improve their areas and help them baptize. President is awesome. Love him lots. We came back and did studies then went out for a little bit before dinner. We had dinner with the Fallentine's and then had a night full of finding and teaching. We saw Mariah and taught her the full restoration. She is having contradicting beliefs, she wants to believe it so bad. Haha It cool to see her reaction to the spirit. We also saw Colleen and she's still going strong for not smoking!! She’s doing it and I’m so proud of her.
Friday, we did some weekly planning and I have been sick all week with a nasty cough, chest pain, and throwing up. It has been rough. So Elder and Sister O’Brian from Driggs,ID came and picked me up and took me to the doctor and I got some medication! I am doing much better today, thank the lord! After my doctor visit we finished up planning then hit the streets. It was one of the coldest days!!!! We did finding until 9.
Saturday, was the was the coldest day of the week!! We went out first thing in the morning to some lessons and they all fell through so we did burst tracting, we would find for 30 minutes and then sit in the car or building for 10 mintues to warm up and call people. Time is precious and we can't let Satan win! We found 3 new investigators that day. They all seems very solid as well!
Sunday, fast sundays are my favorite. A less active couple we have been working with bore there testimonies today! That was awesome. They get married today (Monday) so excited for them! We tried contacting formers right after church but had no luck, came back and planned the rest of the day then went back out finding. We found a FAMILY!! The others name is Megan and as we did our approach and promised her the blessings that come from receiving the restored gospel. She said she could really use those in her life and with her family. She knows a couple members in Utah and is excited to meet with us this coming week. We also had a lesson with Tera Dusenbery and threw down the law for commitment keeping as in coming to church and the importance it will have in her conversion. She’s great. She committed to come this Sunday. We did some finding to end the night off.
I love Canandaigua, but I’ve been here for awhile now. 5 months. Working on my 3rd go round tracting the streets here. Lol. God still is preparing his children and it’s humbling to watch. I love this gospel.
Hebrews 13:6
“So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and i will not fear what man shall do unto me.”
Love,
Elder Judy
