We E-mail at the public library and we were the only missionaries
that E-mailed home last week. Elder Toolson and I didn't even know it
was a holiday until we meet with the other missionaries and they said
they didn't get to e-mail home. So we were the lucky ones!! Elder
Vincent is up by Colleyville so I don't see him until transfers. My
first transfer is next week but we will probably stay in Lampasas cause
Toolson is training me.
So my week last week, went on exchange with Cloward and
we actually went to Copperas Cove so he was the senior companion and
that was really good but lost of walking around. Copperas Cove is a
biking area and Clowards bike was broken so we walked everywhere. He is
so funny!! He makes connects with people so easily. We had Elder Pino
from the Quorum of the Seventy some and talk to the missionaries in fort
Worth. That was way cool! He is still learning English so he had a
translator and that was cool to hear two things. He walk for two hours
and he talked on our purpose as missionaries and then our call that we
got and how it is person letter from the Prophet, and how we are held to
higher standards. Then he said one thing that stood out to me a lot and
that was:
"you will know how well you did on your mission by what
you do after. Will you pray in the morning and nights, will you study
everyday, will you go to church every week and wear a white shirt, and
will you continue to share the gospel?" that is how you will know how
you served your mission.
Great talk and I took three pages of notes. I got to
talk to him for a little bit too. He couldn't ever say my name right. We
did some service this week too. We did service for 3 hours and we had
to mow this lady's lawn and the grass was up to my knees!! and we only
finished the front yard and it took as 3 hours. it was quite the
project. We also had a training on family history work and how we can
get people interested in the church from using that. its really cool and
I looked on mine and mine is pretty much finished.
I'm use to Texas weather cause its cold now!! It's gets
down to the 40's and I think that's freezing!! But it goes from being
70' and 80's and the 40's the next day!! So from that will you send me
some sweaters now? if you can try and get it like my gray one in the
closet but if you can try and get a brown black and gray one, please. If
not that's ok. Oh and my preach my Gospel book broke and you get me
another one preferably a small one so I can carry it with me. Thanks!!
Update on investigators:
Jessica and Ashton, they are a mother and daughter and they have a date set for the 2nd of November.
Christy,
she just got married and we went to support her on Saturday. She is
reading and praying and is doing good with word of wisdom. (everyone
smokes in here and I mean everyone)
Josh, loves us coming over and only want the best for is family. He
has had a bad experience with prayer but is willing to pray and he is
reading.
Pat and Rick, we try to go over for Pat but she is
never home so we teach Rick instead. he loves the book of Mormon and
does a lot of history research with it and he says it all makes since so
hopefully he will try and gain a testimony now.
Martinez family, they are converts like 2 years ago and they are working towards the temple sealing. Really nice family.
that's my update on investigators
Scripture of
the week: alma 37: 6-7. small and simple things like prayer, reading,
smiling, sharing testimony, and singing hymns have a huge effect on the
way you think and act.
