Well, it was a little
bit of a surprise but I will be staying in Fond Du Lac for another
transfer! We had transfers this week and everyone thought I would go but
I guess my work in Fond du Lac is not done yet! I'm excited for another
transfer here! I love Fond Du Lac, it is a very nice place to be and will
work hard this transfer.
We don't do activities
too often on P-days because we our district is so spread out but on Monday we
went to a marsh and caught frogs! I will have to send pictures next
week! It was actually pretty fun. We also played ultimate frisby,
which I am getting a lot better at.
We have been doing
a lot of tracting lately, which has been hard but I know that the Lord is
blessing us. We don't usually find too many new investigators through
tracting. This week we found 3 new investigators: Courtney, Michael, and
Anna. Anna is awesome and has met sisters before. Michael we met on the
street as we were walking and started talking to him about he Book of
Mormon. He quickly accepted a copy and we invited him to read 3 Nephi
11. He said he would read it and then he would start at the beginning and
read the whole thing!
Although, we didn't have
a lot of success with investigators this week we did see a lot of miracles with
less actives. We saw the Sister Zedan this week. She is so nice and
really wants to come back to church. She said that she and her girls were
all ready to come last Sunday but her husband wouldn't let them go because he
thought it would make him look bad if they went without him. We
usually meet with her in the morning when most of her kids are at school and
decided to do it when the whole family is there. She invited us for
dinner this week! Pray for Bro. Zedan.
Then we also met with
Matt this week. His sister usually sit in on our lessons and is strong in
her church so she usually doesn't participate very much. Well, this time she
asked for a Book of Mormon so she could follow along while we read and also
shared what she liked about the chapter we read too. Then to top it off
she gave us a half referral. She said she has a friend, Lisa, in the
hospital who is going through a hard time and she said that it would be good if
we met with her! She didn't have any contact information for us yet
though.
Sunday was awesome this
week! Emily gave her farewell talk! It was so so good! She is
going to be an awesome missionary! She shared some stories about sister
missionaries and talked about how the one message she really wants everyone to
know is that "your Heavenly Father loves you." She went on to
share some experiences where missionaries were surprised when they were
prompted to say or share something that the person they met really needed but
that the person never got baptized or started investigating. They then
realized that sometimes Heavenly Father works through us just to comfort His
children, and to simply show His love for them. It was a powerful
sacrament meeting and one that Sister Cosgrove and I needed. Well, Emily
left today for the MTC and will soon be serving in Murray Utah! If you
see Sister Prellwitz soon say hi to her for me! I know that Heavenly
Father does know and love each one of us and He wants us to know that!
Missionary work is so much about loving those around us!
Well, hope you have a
great week! The fall colors are beautiful! The church is lovingly true!
