Hello Family and
Friends!
We had a very good week
this week and I'm excited to tell you about it!
So Monday, we had PDay.
It was a little stressful but so fun! We had a lot of errands to run and so by
the time we got to go do anything, we only had a couple hours. But we went to
this place called Beamish and it's a museum like town. So the village is from
the 1900's and there's a pit village and an old school etc. It honestly
reminded me a lot of Nauvoo just minus the spiritual aspect...we only had two
hours there, but we got to see a lot and are excited to go back hopefully soon!
After PDay, we did some street contacting up to Rei's house for a Family Home
Evening that nobody else showed up to, so we just read from the scriptures with
her.
Tuesday we felt like we
were just running around like crazy people! We did a couple hours of street
contacting and met a cool guy named Kevin and then we went knocking after lunch
and met a guy who raises falcons! It was so cool! Then we went to drop off a
note to a less active and then our bus to our next appointment was half an hour
late...so we had to cancel but cool story! While we were waiting, this kid came
up to us and said "hi sisters!" And then took us to his brother and
said "I found the sisters! I knew God would help us!" Now neither of
us recognised these two boys (problem of being in a big Ward), but they had
lost their bus pass and needed to call their mom to let her know. So we let
them use our phone and then as soon as they were done, the bus showed up. So I
guess it was late on purpose :) then we went to our tea appointment and had FHE
at the chapel!
Wednesday we had
district meeting and it was pretty good! Then we had lunch and companionship
study before going to see Emma. We read a talk with her and then she came with
us to a lesson with one of the people we met yesterday, but he didn't answer
the door. So we went to our tea appointment and then had Ward coordination. So
a pretty short day, it felt like.
Thursday we saw Denise
in the morning and went over the Plan of Salvation with her and then talked to
her about her goals for going to the temple! Then we came back for lunch and
did a surprise service activity for Margaret, the lady we were teaching last
week whose family told her not to meet with us. We knew she would be out, so we
went and did her garden! It was a lot of fun! Then we got lunch and headed out
to do some more finding. Then we had a lesson with a guy named Simeon. It
didn't go too well, but that's another story. So then we had a lesson with
Kevin right after and this one went amazingly well! The Spirit was so strong
and he started tearing up when he said he closing prayer because he felt it so
strongly!
Friday we woke up early
to get to exchanges with the STLs. I was with Sister Robertson and we had a lot
of fun! We did weekly planning at their flat and then we went Finding all day
and met some amazing people before we had to come back to Durham!
Saturday was a busy
teaching day! We started by doing service at the cattery again and then we went
to see Kevin! We answered his questions about church and gave him a virtual
chapel tour! Then we had a quick lunch in town and went to see Chris. And while
we were there, we met his partner and were able to schedule both of them for
baptism! Then we got the bus to see Ellen before going to tea with Emma and
then had companionship Study in the evening!
Sunday was ok. None of
the people who said they were going to come to church showed up, but we still
had a good time! Then after church we went to track down our investigators but
none of them were in...so we came home for tea and companionship study...yeah,
bus times aren't the most effective on a Sunday...
Anyways! So my Spiritual
Thought for the week is from the devotional "Becoming True
Millenials"
"I promise you that
when you begin to catch even a glimpse of how your Heavenly Father sees you and
what He is counting on you to do for Him, your life will never be the
same"
Heavenly Father has so
much in store for us! It's just up to us to do our part. And when we do our
best, He makes up the rest! Let Him change you! It's the best feeling ever!
Love you! Hope you have
a great week!
Sister Hope
