Lindsey Roylance to you
This week we had Zone training meeting all the way in kenosha an hour and a half away! Not the smartest location on the Zone leaders part but we took full advantage with breakfast in Racine on the way. We stopped at the famous O&H bakery and bought a huge kringle which we ate at Lake Michigan. Super great! Oh and Racine is really ghetto so it was super legit.
There is a new focus on family history as we talk to people about the gospel and it was quite successful this week! We met this lady who volunteers at a museum which is open in the summer. Well, perks of being a missionary, she gave us a free tour of the museum and then we proceeded to tell her about familysearch.org. Great stuff! I didn't realize how many people were interested in family history. Not just the old folk.... Lately I have been into it too, and it just gets me more excited about the gospel.
We vacuumed the apartment this week. Rephrase: I vacuumed the apartment. So this apartment hasn't been vacuumed in 6 months. Nasty! I guess it broke a few months back. When i got here, we got a new one without a bag! Finally, I couldn't take it and so we knocked on the neighbors door. A man was kind to let us use it to which we filled it up. Gross!!
Last monday night we had a lesson with Angela. Miracle!!! So, we go in there, teach her a lesson with the intent to extend a baptismal date. Keep in mind she has been investigating for 7 years, has never had a date (because she would always decline firmly) or read book of mormon. She lately has begun the Book of Mormon and we extended a date to her. We helped her to see it was a goal to work towards. We went over the baptismal interview questions and the only issue she has is knowing if Joseph Smith is a prophet and she knows she has to read and pray to know. With that, she accepted a date! She set it herself (which was just fine for us) and it's when their kids will be here. Can i just say miracle?
To back that up, tragedy occured Sunday morning. President called to tell Sister Ruiz she is needed in marshfield as of Tuesday. We had 48 hours notice and now we are losing our trio power! How sad. New motto is "Don't procrastinate doing all the fun things in a companionship. You never know when one will be ET'd!" ET=emergency transfer.
To top that off, I will be losing Sister Proffit in 2 weeks. :(
But I'm grateful to have had my time with these two!
Conference was amazing. We got to watch it with some investigators and the messages were perfect! If you didn't get a chance to catch them all I recommend it! Hope ya'll have a great week!
