From Mom: Oh what a difference a week makes! I'm grateful my sweet boy has an amazing attitude to pull him through the rough spots. Thanks for all your prayers, love and support... they paid off!
Hellllllooooo everyone! :)
This week has been a much better week than last! Although we did have to drop all of our investigators we had from before because they werent progressing or keeping appts, we have a new solid investigator named Katharine! So the story with her is actually I think a miracle that we have been waiting for. So Brother Mcdonald (Huge burley guy with massive black beard and bald) is the less active we found the other week if you remember me talking about him. So we invited him out to church and he came but he brought a young lady with him.... This is when we first met Katharine. So for the past three weeks we have had a meal with them every week and they have been coming to church every week since. Katharine told us yesterday that she is wanting to take the discussions!!! :) We were so excited when she said that cause we hadnt taught her up to this point but she had been coming to church every week for the past 3 weeks! So we have dinner then an appt with her and Bro Mcdonald this week:)
That was the main event of the week pretty much but there was alot of other pretty cool miracles that we had throughout the week as well. So we had an exchange with a member of the ward this past week and we went to see this lady who was a referral. She lived about 20 min in the middle of flippin no where!!! Dont ask me how we found the house cause the gps couldnt even recognize the address but we found it. haha so we got there and the house looked abandoned.. and this man walked up to us from the shed behind us and scared us half to death!! We asked if the lady we were looking for was home and he said she had moved to Colorado! We then started talking to him and we shared with him about our message and everything and he wanted us to come back and teach him so that was a blessing as well!
I had an exchange with Elder Cole and Elder Lopez on friday this last week just for the day because the leaders had a leadership meeting! So we rode our bikes around in chapel hill and we placed 3 copies of the book of mormon and got 2 return appointments for later this week! Unfortunately it wasnt in my area but hey, at least I can say I did something right? haha But yea Chapel Hill is amazing! I love riding on campus and talking to the college students there! I actually had my first bike accident that day! We were riding back to the Apartment and we were cruisin down this HUGE hill!! Elder Cole decides to slam on his breaks to talk to this lady and as he was doing that i realized what was going on so i slammed on mine and stopped but Elder Lopez wasnt to cautious of what was going on and slammed right into the side of me at the bottom of the hill!! Luckily I wasnt hurt and my bike was okay so were all good there! haha
Church on sunday was so good! The spirit from the testimonies was absolutely amazing!! I am really thinking that the spirit that was felt in sacrament meeting is what made Katharine want to take the discussions! It was just overwhelming I loved it so much! So after church we went to the kitchen at our building cause some members said they left some left overs for us in the fridge. We got there and I kid you not, probably a 2 weeks suply in sandwiches, 6 gallon size bags of fruit, a 54 piece box of rice crispys, a box of oreos and then some other goodies as well!! we are stalked for a good 3 more weeks!! :) haha it was great!
Well there is really no other news here from last week! things are really starting to pick up again! I will be sure to let you know what happens with katharine!!
I miss you and love you all!
Elder Betker! :)
