We had a pretty good week. We had our
first exchange of the transfer, and I went to Oshawa with Sister
Mamarova (she's from Bulgaria). All of our appointments except two fell
through, so we did A LOT of tracting and contacting. Since Sister
Mamarova can't drive in Canada, I had to drive in an area I'm not really
familiar with. Oshawa's a pretty big city too, so I was a bit nervous
about it, but I didn't crash the car, and we both lived, so I guess you
could say it was a successful exchange!
So
Sister Hunter and I had a bit of a scare this week with our
investigators Will and Marsha. They called us on the phone and they told
us that they didn't want to be baptized anymore. We were really nervous
that we were going to lose them, but they agreed that we could come see
them that evening. We just went and we asked them questions and we
really tried to listen to their concerns. It was a really powerful
lesson, and we were able to figure out what they need to progress. It
really taught me the importance of having the Spirit with you and of
loving the people you teach!
Oh, Sister Hunter and I have been working on a service project for a
member in our branch. Her name is Jeannie, and she's from Florida, so
she has a really cool southern accent. Anyway, we helped her take down
wall paper in her living room because she wants to paint it and brighten
up the room (actually, it's really sad because she's doing it for her
husband who has terminal cancer. She doesn't want him to have to die in a
dark room so that's why she's doing all of this work). There were like
four layers of wall paper on those walls! We're still working on it with
her. It's crazy! We love it though because Jeannie is hilarious and
she keeps you entertained the entire time!
On Sunday, our investigator John came to church for the first time! We were able to meet with him on Saturday
and teach him about the Restoration of the Gospel, and it went really
well. While we were there, he told us that he found his own copy of the
Book of Mormon, and we were like 'whoa, this guy's cool!' It was super
awesome!
Something I've learned a lot about
this week is the importance of the Book of Mormon. The past few weeks
have been kind of stressful and challenging, but as I've turned to
prayer and the Book of Mormon, I've really felt peace and it helps me to
remember that no matter what, everything will work out.
I love you all!
