Well, we started exchanges this last
week. It’s kind of nice being in a trio, because then you have two people in
the area, and so you don't have to worry about missing too much. That’s a
blessing.
We have found a few more families to
teach this week! It’s amazing the people that are coming through! Really....
it's pretty incredible. We feel so blessed!! And this last week, we taught a
ton! It feels so good to be out a lot more :) we had 9 lessons with members
with us, 5 without, and 2 more with less actives. It’s so nice to be working,
and staying pretty busy.
Halloween is around the corner...
and we are asked to go out. So, we will probably be attending a party for an
investigator or the apartment complex or something :)
We have been teaching Max and Sandra
SUPER slow because they have a really hard time remembering just about anything
that we teach them... but this week they actually remembered most of what we
taught them! We use a lot of pictures and object lessons, but we're so glad
that everything is FINALLY falling together. They have the marriage license,
but no date to get married yet. Anyways... hopefully they will get married next
week, due to Audrianna's birthday this week :)
I gained a testimony this week of
planning, and timing. We plan each night what we are going to do the next day,
and write it all out in our planner. I had it explained to me once, that we are
kind of telling God where we are going to be. So, if we tell God that we are
going to be at a certain place at 3:00, we should be there, and not mix things
up during the day unless prompted to do otherwise. So one day, we went to go
see a few people. The main people weren't there, so we went to backups. After
the backups, we had a little time, and sister j felt like we needed to go and
visit another person in the area. They weren't home either.... so we went to
the person we were supposed to visit at that time, Jennifer (another
investigator). Anyways, we chatted with her for about 5 mins, set an
appointment, and then turned around to go somewhere else. We heard from behind
us, "are you the Mormon girls?!" Confused, we turned around. There
was a lady we didn't know, but had apparently met with sisters earlier that
year. SO, we went to talk with her, and asked if we could help with anything. She
was helping another neighbor with a yard sale, so we offered to help. The
timing was PERFECT for us to go and help them move things and set up. God's
timing should be ours, because his is perfect.
Another cool story... a member was
driving one night and was going to grab some dinner, and in her rearview mirror
saw a family on the road struggling. She felt prompted to go say hi, so she
offered to help them. They were in a really rough spot, so she helped them buy
dinner and find a place for the night. Well, she offered for him to learn about
the church to help his life. He met with the bishop on Tuesday, and we met with
him a couple times. He has a lot of WOW (Word of Wisdom Doctrine and Covenants Section 89) problems, his wife too. so hopefully we can help them
turn their lives’ around :) the best part is seeing the hope come into their
eyes as they realize what Christ can do for them, and they start to see the
light at the end of the tunnel. I want so badly to help this family stay
together and really change. Another cool thing is that the Bishop actually saw
this particular family a few days prior, and had the impression that he would
meet them one day. So cool :)
Another adventure: we met a cool
black family this week. They’re 'crazy southern Baptists’ as they say. SO fun
to talk with, and remind me of home :) haha
Anyways, things are awesome here. Just
working hard, and hoping to find lots of souls to bring to Christ. If we look,
there are SO many miracles around us all the time. Just look :)
Love y'all so much!
Love,
Sister Brown
