We had a pretty darn good week!! Brooke came to church!! That was sooooo cool. She was loving it too. She made comments in Gospel Principals and everything. Some of our ward missionaries did a good job sitting by her and fellowshipping. Those member missionaries also went with us to teach her this week and they got along great. We're trying to set up a Brooke family and Monette family(those members) FHE together. We also had some other good friend members bring friends to church for the first time!! It was awesome. That is like dreamed of missionary opportunities and doesn't happen too often around here. Hopefully going to start teaching those people that came for first time next couple weeks.
Damon and Skylin, the kiddos being baptized, came to church as well. I sat by Damon and we went to Primary together. Elder Evans sat by Skylin and Elder Dawe did a split and went with the Elders Quorum. That's our new thing. Primary needs the help too, the kids are kinda rowdy. We had a cool lesson with those kiddos this week too. We had their hometeacher Brother Kameron Krebs come with to meet them and help teach. We just read from the Book of Mormon and then talked about what was happening and what to take away from it. It went well and Kameron had good comments and got to know them. They will be baptised in a few weeks, after their grandpa's foot heals so he can bvaptize them.
We have the ward very missionary minded right now because thats almost all we have been sharing when we meet with them. We work on different ways they can find people and invite them to things. Also had an exchange with one of the district leaders and his comp in the zone and they didn't need much correction or instruction. they were great missionaries in lots of senses. I just taught them a little more about nightly planning and working with members.
I got to go on an exchange this week to one of the Spanish district leaders in the zone. I went to his area with his companion as well. Made a trio there. That was way cool. They are solid solid missionaries. I got to eat some wonka donk food for dinner too... I ate chicheron. What is that? Well, that is pig skin. I had it in gordita form
We're also working with a sister of one of our members whose name is Renee and her member sister is Sis Kern. We went over for our second dinner appointment with them. Last time we taught the plan of salvation and Renee was liking it. This time we taught the Restoration so she wouldn't be so confused on the basic things we believe in and do. She liked the lesson but doesn't quite understand, the importance of organized religion. Feels like she can be spiritual and righteous alone. Also doesn't understand the importance of this being the Lord's church. It's His. We do things in this church to draw unto Him and become like Him where we couldn't otherwise. So we're gonna try to resolve that this week and just go slow.
So,thats a summary of the exciting progress of the peeps. We don't have the dates like we had last week. We just have Damon and Skylin and some lady we only saw once named Wilda. Andrea hasnt come to church yet and it was tricky getting in touch with her this week. Also the miraculous Tony from last week has moved again!! he left to another place so we lost em. we dont know where, the member living with him didn't hear at all. Tony just left one night. I have hope he will find our church, get taught and baptize wherever he ends up.
We had a cool service project this week. We got to help Sis Kern and Renee move stuff in a storage shed out in the middle of nowhere. I wore my new jeans and boots!! Felt so good. Hope to meet with Juanita and Mrs. King this week. Keep ya posted.
OH and HEeeyeyyyyyy! I totally met President Nelson of the quorum of the twelve apostles. he came to see all three Houston missions and speak to us. He let all the missionaries come up and shake his hand and say hello. And, just as cool as that, I saw Elder Jake Lives and talked to him in person!!!!!!!! haha. Tthat was nutty, quite the experience that day for sure. It was way fun talking to him for a minute. He's great.
Love you tons,
Janz
