Back to Rhubarb

When your in a tiny little branch that's relatively un-missionary-work-oriented, it's AWESOME to have totally solid recent converts move in with their nonmember relatives that are already in your potentials list. The going for the family might be slow, but Tori is SO fantastic. I have high hopes for her personal missionary work, and her own conversion. Yay for more people!

...to cram into our tiny building! When you're stuffing like twelve people into a classroom with has a max capacity of 5, things get really exciting. But I do believe that the struggles of our branch and building help to increase humility and determination in the hearts of the members. So even though it's not ideal, it's a good thing :) And the weather this time of year is perfect for the several classes that prefer to take their lessons to the lawn. Whatever works :)

We went finding in a park and talked to this sweet old couple from Fond Du Lac and they invited us to sit with them and shared their picnic food with us. That was a tender mercy :)

We also had a long spiritual discussion with Vicki, who we do service for, over s'mores. We rarely get the chance to talk seriously to her because things tend to be really chaotic, so that was great. I think her heart is softening, although the social sacrifices she would have to make are probably the biggest things holding her back. How do you work with this? I'm so grateful to be somewhat out of the world for this short time. Life is WAY better.

It's rhubarb season in Wisconsin! Rock on :)

We went and hung out with the senior couple yesterday for like an hour, and we discovered what they do for fun. Someone gave them a free diabetic kit thing, so they check their blood sugar for fun. It actually was kinda fun, lol :) We all have good blood sugar! Even after the 5 cookies we ate that morning.

So basically this week was a lot of finding and scheduling appointments and rescheduling appointments. It's really hard to turn potentials into investigators, geez. But we try :)
