What a week! We went on exchanges this
week with our sister training leaders. Sister Harris came here to Fond du
lac with me while Sister Ormsby went to West Bend with Sister Reese. I
love our sister training leaders! They work hard and are a lot of fun,
plus, Sister Harris knows Fond du Lac really well because she served here
before I did. I was able to talk to her a lot about the area and the
people. We finally were able to set a baptismal date with Kelly for June
14th!!! Yay! She is growing so much. We usually have a couple
lessons a week with her and usually have a member with us for the lesson.
This week we had one of the lessons in the Cropper's home. I love the
Cropper's. Sister Cropper is a returned missionary and has been such a
good friend and support to Kelly. We have focused a lot on reading the
Book of Mormon with Kelly and it is so neat to see her testimony of it
growing. Also, on exchanges we did something called loaves and
fishes. It is a dinner for the needy put on by a different church but a
different church is in charge of hosting it each week. This week was our
turn, so we were able to help out with that and then we had an awesome lesson
with the Lennop family and Bonnel's at one of the member's homes here.
They have a cute little farm with new chicks, which the kids loved seeing!
It is really beautiful here right now!
It is neat to see how we
are able to find through service. We met a man named Skip this week who
told us he has seen us at the nursing home before and asked us if we would come
and visit him. We met with him and found out that he has been to Salt
Lake City and one time when he was there he went to temple square and the
prophet showed him around!
Well, we have been doing a lot of finding work
lately because our teaching pool isn't very big right now. A lot of them
were out of town this week. I feel like we did a lot of seed planting and
there are definitely some strong potentials. We met with a lady named Carolyn
this week who has a lot of good questions.
Yesterday, the branch had a big picnic and we had
2 of our investigators come! We played ultimate frisby and were able to
meet some less actives we have never met before too! So that was good and it
was a lot of fun. Right at the end it there was a huge down poor!
Everything got cleaned up pretty fast, haha.
I'm so grateful to be here! It is so
beautiful! We were talking to a women in her yard one day about the
beauty of God's creations and it is so true! When you see the hills and
plants and the beautiful creations all around you can't help but feel close to
the Lord.
Well, I love you!!!!!!! The church is
beautifully true!
