This week was a super crazy week filled with a lot of ups
and a lot of downs. We had decided to let Elder Stevens lead our the days and
while he was leading out we were able to find a lot of awesome people! And we
were able to set a baptismal date yesterday! I felt super off all week, was
kind of lost but by Friday I was able to pull it back together, and the week
ended amazing! We spent most of our time talking things out trying to work
different things out between one another! But we were able to fix it all,
Wednesday was a great day we had district meeting! I learned a lot! We also
were able to meet with some of our investigators in Bedford and contact some
referrals! Then we had a super spiritual experience as we went out with our
branch president and introduced him to some of the less active members we have
been meeting with. And we had an awesome experience with both of them! One of them
asked me to give her the blessing! I have grown so close to the people here!
This is a very amazing place! On Thursday we had an awesome lesson with the
Hermanas as they handed an investigator off to us! Then on Friday we were able
to have a very spiritual lesson with one of the people we have with a baptismal
date! We read from the Book of Mormon! Saturday we biked all day and we biked
all day everyday after Wednesday because we had to drop our car off to the body
shop to get fixed! So we spent a lot of time on the bikes! Then Sunday we had a
miracle happen! So we were sitting in church and we were rearranging the walls
so we could split up into classes and the old branch president came up to us
and said um here is a guy that just walked in and I think he should talk to
yall. So we pulled the guy aside into a different room and we were able to meet
this guy! So he said he tried stopping by here the other day but it was closed
so we came on Sunday and we met with him! He is one of Heavenly Fathers prepared
child! We were able to get to know him and set up an appointment with him later
on this day and when we came back for our appointment at 5 he was sitting
there, he got there early to the Church and we had an amazing lesson 1 with
him! He understood it and he had some amazing questions! And the first question
he asked after we had finished the lesson is when can I go out teaching the
gospel with you guys?! And we were like after you have been baptized and become
a member, and then he goes well when can I be baptized!? And we set up a
baptismal date with him right there! Then after the lesson Elder Stevens
remembered his prayer the night before he specifically asked for someone to be
placed in our path! And this was an answer to many prayers! It was amazing!
Then on the way home I threw my back out
riding my bike! But our week ended really well!
It just goes to show that as you wait and have patience
and faith that the lord will bless you! So always keep your head up because
you've always got Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ on your side!
