GREAT WEEK HERE!! Man, normally the first week of the transfer is just a little rough because it is long, but this week was great!
Sunday I got the Privilege of speaking in sacrament meeting. It was a little weird because I am so used to speaking in branches that it felt like there was A TON of people... so... my homecoming might be weird. That's about all that happened Sunday....We visited some members of the ward which was good!
Monday we taught T about family history and temples. She is struggling a little with that, so we are trying to help her out, Keep her in your prayers! We door knocked for a long time, but we found some really cool people! Also the Western Michigan Bowl game was on.... they lost :( first time this season. I didn't watch it but one of the people we talked to told us.
Tuesday we did service at the library and went to visit B, She has met with missionaries in California and is really struggling right now. We are working with her on understanding how much God loves her. Also we went out to a family that hasn't been to church in a while and they are SO great!
Wednesday we taught a guy C the Elders taught and his big hold up is the church isn't his style but we read about the sacrament with him and he committed to come. We also taught P, she is still working on smoking.
Thursday we taught T again... started off rough but we really felt the spirit in the end, so that was good! Then we visited some members who haven't been in a while and taught N. She is so solid! She is getting personal revelation from the Book of Mormon and when we were at her house her adorable son M said the closing prayer and he wore his spider-man mask to do it. HE IS SO CUTE!!
Friday we did more service at the library and we taught a recent convert who has been having some health problems lately, so he has a caretaker. But it was so cool because as we were reading 2 Nephi 2 with her about opposition and she really liked it! She was really interested so we gave her a copy of the Book of Mormon and we are going back to see M on Wednesday and she should be there. We also went to a Ward Gathering for a recently returned missionary and it made me feel weird... but that's ok!
Saturday We taught B again, it is so sad because she is too afraid to pray and ask because she doesn't feel worthy. She is so sweet and has been through so much. Pray for her. We also got to teach the family whose table I barfed on last week, the mom committed to coming to church. Then we taught a girl B we door knocked into, but she was just interested in learning :( BUT THEN!!!! We had a referral from a member in the Holland ward and he is dating someone who lives in our ward boundaries and we had an AMAZING Restoration lesson with her!! The spirit was so strong and she committed to baptism on February 4th!! AAAHH !! So we celebrated by going to our favorite Indian food restaurant.
Sunday was SOOOO GOOOD!! 5 members that we have visited that I haven't seen at church yet came and it was so great to see them all! Also N CAME!!! She brought Her daughter and son and her boyfriend and I almost cried when I saw them come in the chapel I was so happy!!! Being a missionary is the greatest!!
Anyway I love this work and my heavenly father and we didn't take any pictures this week so... sorry.
Fun Fact: Since it is P-day and we have no food right now, only leftovers from going to the Indian food restaurant I ate Indian food for dinner..... too bad you can't judge me because it says not to in the scriptures.
