October 15, 2012
This past week in NC has been really great! It was a little slower week but really nothing to complain about! :) We had two lessons with Katharine at Bro. Mcdonalds house. The first lesson we taught her was on tuesday. We taught her the plan of salvation and she understood that really well! She has been reading everyday and is already on page like 150!! And she is retaining everything that she is reading too so thats great! Thursday we taught her the Doctrine of Christ (Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the End) She is really excited about getting baptized. And Brother Mcdonald is coming back way strong into the church as well. haha we saw him and Katharine at Stake Conference this past week and he bought himself a new set of scriptures and a new suit! haha he is such a stud! He is actually driving us to durham today for our pday cause its one of the elders bdays in our district and we are limited on miles so we are all going to go and just have a good time today!
We are still working on finding new people to teach! this last week we found quite a few potentials that seemed interested that we are going to go back and see tomorrow and hopfully start to teach them! Although things in our area are kinda slow again we are feeling so blessed for the things that we do have right now! One solid investigator is better than none:) haha so in stake conference our mission president and his wife came and spoke to everyone about missionary work! It was such a solid talk about having the members more involved in missionary work! Believe it or not, well in our mission at least, 83% of our baptisms come from member referrals or part member families so they are continuing to stress the importance of having members involved in missionary work!
Oh my Gosh so this last week I probably had one of the worst meals of my life. Not that the food wasnt good but the environment was just... I cant explain it.. Trashed! So this sweet old lady wanted to feed us from the ward so she had her non member daughter and son in law come pick us up. (i dunno if we were even allowed to ride with them or not...) haha so first of all there car just smelled like smoke and it was nasty. So we got to the house and there was just junk and trash thrown all over the place!!! Then we get inside and the Member had made us chicken pot pie which was really good, but the daughter and son in law were just gross and burping!! haha yea it was just not a very spirit inviting environment! I now know why people stress the importance of getting a good eduction!! So we dont have to live in that kind of an environment!! I felt so bad for the old lady cause the others were just rude and she was a sweet old lady! so elder hansen and I shared a great message with her and brought the spirit into her life again! I know that probably sound rude of me to say that stuff... Oops! haha but yea..
Well thats about all for this last week, it was just a great all around week! Just a quick side note... At stake conference I got to meet Coach Dorince (however you spell his name) He is the head coach for the girls soccer team and UNC and also a former womans USA soccer coach! He coached Mia Hamm and is very famous!! and also Stilman White, the basketball player for UNC.. (ask Bruce if you dont know who he is.) He just got called to the Ogden UT mission!! Pretty neat huh? haha
Love to you all!
