So this week was crazy cause we dont know how we need to run both areas, but we are getting the hang of it.
on monday we had our last pday with everyone. we had a fire, roasted mallows and we played a bit of pod-ball:). we had a lesson with Domingo and we watched the Prophet of the Restoration movie. He prayed at the end and he was more than willing to do it. which was good.
we went and visited Sister Crippen and we talked about repentance, we were going to do a fun object lesson but forgot to bring the things we needed, so we basically winged it. Daily repentance helps us have stronger faith and hope. it helps us grow. we then had dinner with Elder Spillett and Porter cause we needed to talk about their area before they left that night and got their area book. it was bitter sweet;) haha we also taught a LA family that we found last week. the Philips. we taught the restoration with a jesus puzzle and that went well. we got their kids involved, since they didnt want to last time so we got them to read some scriptures. yay go us!
WE GOT a new investigator! HIs name is Jarrett Ingam and hes, i think in his 20s. he lives with his girlfriend who is not interested and might or might not have a baby.. we taught the restoration, he doesnt really like the thought of a prophet.. someone who is held more higher. but wither than that it went well, he prayed at the end and wants us to come back. We saw sister Owen again. Shes still going alright. we had to help her get from her bed to her chair. its so sad. i love that lady so much! we talked about obedience and showed a short little mormon message.. cant remember which one tho. God gives us commandments for our benefit. he also gives us agency to choose. when we obey, we follow the influence of the spirit and choose to conform to His will. Obedience brings us peace in this live and eternal life in the world to come. obedience shows our love and respect for God.
we taught domingo in the church with Sister Langfitt! We taught him the ten commandments with the little hand movements to go with it. and also the Law of Chastity. so that was fun. He offered to say the prayer this time! he prayed that his family would want to come to his baptism. sooo sweet!
we taught Bill again in the Buchholz home this week aswell. it went okay but i think that his heart is just not soft enough to full accept the restored gospel. He cant get past the fact that he doesnt know everything and that there is no artifacts that he knows of. so we are still deciding on what to do with him. We had a really good District meeting this week. we talked about light. the light of Christ and our light/testimony. we watched a video and at the end it said "spiritual light doesnt come to those who sit in darkenss waiting for it. it takes an act of FAITH to open your eyes to the light of Christ." The spiritual influence begins with the LIght of Christ but we have to have faith and be willing to act to find it!
we taught the Elders Investigator Adam. Hes moving so that was probs the only time we were going to see him. it was so hard cause he is so knowledgable. like he reads the bible in Hebrew and greek.. he studied every religion out there too. we had dinner at a members, the Oaks and that was the best!! i love that family so much! sister oaks looks like Mallorie Davis so that was crazy! haha we read alma 50 and talk about how we can build our fortresses around our families. we committed them to take the lessons from us to help strengthen their family! we are going to be seeing them today!
back to domingo. He didnt come to church this week, cause his brother needed help in Rapid City. so , after banging on his for for like forever we got to talk to him.. lol we watched the YSA broadcast that night aswell, and that was good. we then went and saw the LA the elderds have been working with.. not going to lie, we was kinda creepy, but really nice. He is a returned missionary and has a strong testimony but is just to lazy to come to church, so we pushed him on coming so hopefully he comes soon!
we are also going to be doing service at the Spearfish Fish Hatchery once a week! i am so excited! its going to be so much fun!
I cant wait for sunday, Mothersday to skype my fam!!
i am so thankful for this gospel and the blessings and happiness it brings!
Also it is Deathly HOT here! lol just in case ya wanted to know!
