Oh boy. What a loaded week!!! So many crazy adventures goin on in Kettle. Making the adjustment in my new trio is fabulous and the work is sure progressing here!
Last P-day we went to St. Vincent dePaul and it was probably the greatest experience of my life! I bought 6 shirts and 2 skirts all for $10. Thrift shoppin is my new thing.
So... Tuesday We met a man named Gary in the mornin. Gary is the sweetest old man you ever knew. Has a beard and about half his teeth but loooves Jesus Christ. We are going to teach him about the Restored Gospel :)
Tracked down a lady named Shannon and finally got to meet her this week. After 6 weeks! I just love her already and it was definitely worth the 20 minute drive out to her house.
Wednesday, we felt to go see Suzette, our investigator and we caught her as she was moving into her new apartment. We of course offered to help. She is a little bit of a hoarder but who isn't in Wisconsin? She then gave us an extra bike of hers!...after a few subtle comments of how I loove to bike! Success. Had to ride it home tho. My comps next to me riding in the car bumpin to Joseph and the Technicolored Dreamcoat and me huffin and puffin it on a bike. Incredible!
We taught Angela this week. Taught her about faith and repentance with the Wrights. They are the best members to have in a lesson! Brother Wright did the inviting her to church. Plus she received a priesthood blessing. 3 days later, we realized we forgot to remind her about church. Panic! Then i learned a lesson about trusting my investigators. "If I can't trust them, I can't share my heart with them" Sacrament meeting 12 minutes in...still not there. Then midway thru sacrament song, they came! Miracle!!
Thursday, we cleaned a hoarders room (7 & 8 year olds). Oh boy! 3 feet high, cannot see the floor of clothes and toys! We sure did some damage to that mess. Angie was sooo thankful to us and is totally open to coming to church and us coming back to "chat" about the gospel. :)
Saturday was crazy! We bought chalk and drew the Plan of Salvation at two different parks. There we met some college guys. They were cool. Invited us to a party. Thinkin that's not allowed. Then in the same day We were going to meet a former investigator PJ. His neighbors, called us over. Their names are Jeff and Jeremy. They are playing a game called beersby- frisbee with beer. Have to throw/catch frisbee one handed while the other hand holds the drink. There's a pole you try to hit and rules for days. Pretty much they taught us how to play... except Jeff could barely talk. It was grand. Life of a missionary.... ;)
Sunday we had miracles. First, I received back the 83 names of my ancestors I gave to the youth to do baptisms...and they were ALL done!!!! Best day ever! Then we had a lesson with Craig and we invited Bro. Stoltenburg. Didn't realize that was an inspired match until we were in the lesson. Bro S is a 5 year convert and has pretty much had the same experiences with religion as Craig. Grateful for the spirit. :)
Been a great week!!! Didn't get any mail. hint hint. Love to hear from ya'll!
