Dear
Mom and all y'all,
Pretty good week! The
best part of it was a lesson we had with the daughter of one of the members
here that I really admire. She is not a member of the church, but she has
talked with missionaries a lot in the past before but wasn't really interested
in learning more. We always saw her when we went to do a family night with her
family, but that was about as far as our communication really went. Well, my
companion and I decided to make the effort a while ago to reach out to her and
talk to her more, and we became friends with her. When we asked her if we could
start teaching her the missionary lessons, she said yes! She just had a baby
and he is adorable and I think something inside of her changed with that pretty
significant lifestyle change. She is a really great person and I'm really
excited that we got to know her. Her dad is a really great example and she
asked him to come pick her up and take her to church on Sunday, so it was a tender moment to see them walk
in together. She told us how much she has seen the Gospel bless her parents'
lives already, and I know that it is going to bless her life so much as
well.
As for the rest of the
week, we've been doing a lot of trying to find new people to teach and cleaning
up records. The slightly OCD part of me actually enjoys organizing things and
even though we don't see a lot of the results right now for the work we are
doing, I know it will bless the missionaries who come here in the future.
And as for me and my
companion, we're doing well. We're happy and healthy and doing our best to keep
working hard! I hope you're all doing well and having a great week!
