Hello! So this week was a very eventful week! Wow! This
week flew by!
And also another transfer ended with it as well!....
But anyways this week we talked to a lot of people! We
talked to 228 of our heavenly fathers children! We were super busy! Did a lot
of biking! I sure love biking!
Well Monday: we played dodge ball again at 6 in the
morning, then had a great preparation day! Brother nidiffer took us out to eat!
He took us to White Castle.... Not very good but hey! It was all good because
former elder white returned and was visiting. Then we ended the night with an
awesome member lesson with the sorensens! The sorensens are awesome! She is
also a great cook!
Tuesday: we went out in the morning tried a few people,
no luck but then we went out with brother Kempton and had a great lesson with
one of our investigators with him! He is a super awesome member. Even though
the investigator started the lesson out with saying I just want to refresh what
I've learned at my old church... Um we can't do that!
Then we did some more biking then we went with Dale to
chick fillet for dinner! Then had Dale drop us at our investigators house! And
had a solid lesson with her and her boy friend! She is so awesome! She is the
most solid investigator I've ever had! Earlier today we met with this super
funny chick, where she says that's dope,for pretty much everything! She's so
funny!
Wednesday: we had a great district meeting! Then a great
district lunch! Had a lot of fun! We went to five guys! Then we went and taught
one of our other investigators! She has bed bugs super bad! But we made huge
measures to make sure we didn't get those suckers! Then we went to a bible
study I was invited to go to by diedra it was super weird! Not much spirit and
just bagged on present day Jerusalem... But then we had to leave half way
through to go to dinner provided at the girls activity group it was super good!
Lasagna! Then they role played the story of Joseph smith it was awesome! Oh
also our investigator and her boyfriend who is a member drove by and honked!
Lifted our spirits!
Thursday: we weekly planned! Was super amazing! And super
spiritual!
Had a chick say oh we are Christians thanks! Oh so you
don't want to take a card with a website to a video of Christ? She replies no
thanks we are Christian. What!? Then had the car elders take us to an
appointment because the member we were going to go out with his car fell apart!
So then we ended the night with brother Lucas eating dinner at Texas Roadhouse!
Was super good! I love Texas road house!
Friday: we went to try a girl she gave us a false
address... So we biked around then came home and ate lunch, then we went out
biking all day! Talked to a lot of people today! I had a very personal
spiritual experience as I had a connection with one of our less active members
we are working with! I know I was sent to new Albany to find her! Then went to
the moreys for dinner I love the moreys, super awesome couple!
Then we went to Teresa nalls she is awesome! And after
hers we contacted a super cool girl! Then biked home, on way home we had a
chick pull up in a car yelled hey are y'all the Mormons!? We go yeah!
She goes can we talk... So she pulled up to a parking lot
then we sat there and talked and she wanted help finding her son that could be
in a bad place and so she is describing him to us and it was a guy I had talked
to earlier today! And so she asked us to go and knock a door to try and find
him... But we needed to get home! So we told her that and ended our meeting
with her with a prayer. The. Came home. Had one chick her excuse to not talk
was she had to find her boy friend. It's amazing of how many crazy excuses
people give us! And none of the excuses people make up are even good! Doesn't
even matter the excuse it all is just an excuse! Oh had to walk dales dogs
today because he went to Nashville with former elder white.
Saturday: well with Dale being gone we had to walk his
dogs for him because he asked us too. Then after getting to dales I see on our
phone I missed a call from the mission home... Oh did I mention transfers ended
this week! And well transfer calls were today, Saturday.... So I called him
back, and well um he goes hey elder Durfee I felt impressed to transfer you...
I was like what!? Really?
He goes yeah, and I also felt impressed to make you the
district leader. So I will be giving trainings weekly and also have a lot,of
meetings! I will also be giving baptismal interviews... So yeah...
It's going to be exciting! I'm excited for the great
opportunity I have to receive this responsibility! But after talking to him we
went and met with Rita had a great lesson then met with Blanche! And John!
Man I'm going to miss this area! And the people here! We
then went to do service at Salvation Army, they didn't have a whole lot for us
to do. So we did what they asked us to then we left and elder benard and me got
ready to go to Felipe's baptism, he is a Spanish investigator and his wife is a
member in the new Albany ward, so it was awesome to see him baptized and to
progress to making it into the temple! Then we came home and then went to
sister woolfords the less active I had the amazing experience with and she
wanted us to give her a blessing to help her with some personal problems she is
going through. I had the honor to give her the blessing! She is amazing! Then
we had dinner at dales, after elder Follett our district leader right now gave
me and elder matelau training for what to do as a district leader because elder
matelau will be the district leader in new Albany. Elder Follett is going home
and I'm getting transferred to Henderson Kentucky. But after dinner at dales
brother kasteler picked us up then picked up our solid investigator up and had
a lesson at his house! She is so solid!
We taught her the Ten Commandments and she practically
taught us the Ten Commandments! She has been prepared!
Sunday: we had a great church service! Was amazing! Our
investigator came! And she loves church! We then got picked up by brother
Sorensen for dinner with his brother in law, that family is amazing! Had a lot
of fun! Then we went to an investigators I said good bye, then we went home
changed and then went to the church for a church tour and only our solid
investigator showed up one member family showed up but told them to go home so
yeah.. So instead be had a vocabulary introduction with our investigator so she
could get familiar with the vocabulary we use! She is so awesome! Then we went and
I said bye to Dale and Karen!
I'm going to miss those two! :( also saw will white
former elder white! I then went tried the less active we were trying to catch
and set up an appointment with her for tomorrow! Then we came home and ate cake
for elder Bernard's birthday! Today was amazing! Our investigator is amazing
and the less active is awesome!
Well this week was amazing! And I've truly learned the
importance of working hard and being exactly obedient! I know that as we do the
very simplest of the commandments we will blessed and we will be able to
recognize the love our Heavenly Father has for us! I love this gospel and I
know it is true and it is the only true church on this earth and that Christ
stands at the head of it.
Love,
Elder Durfee
