We've met some strong potentials. Getting in to teach them seems to be the hard part.
The
ward did this awesome combined thing where we watched some of the Work
of Salvation and the Ward Mission Leader and Bishop talked all about the
importance of member missionary work. It was fantastic. It kept on
making me cry because of how dedicated this wonderful ward is!
Our 12 year old investigator texted us asking us to remind her how to pray. Super sweet :)
The
main less active we've been working with is awesome. She really just
wants to find the truth but is struggling with self-worth and her past
mistakes. She also doesn't get a whole lot of testimony from her family,
even though they're also members, and one of them is very active. He
has a rather odd perspective on family and the gospel. It's kinda
frustrating!
We
met Jamal this week! Street contacting. He's looking for a change in
his life after some bad stuff. Very open to everything we've taught him,
and has a baptismal date. I really hope he makes it!
This week
was Waunafest! (Apparently it's super popular from like all over
Wisconsin? and beyond? I don't know if I buy that...) Wisconsin likes
their fests. Waunakee is a very proud little village, haha. But we had
lots of opportunities to talk to lots of people at Waunafest. So it was
great!
We
got in contact with a guy we totally weren't excepting to ever answer
our phone calls. We taught him a lesson. It was...interesting. We'll see
where he goes with it :)
Dewey! We had totally lost contact him! But Bro. Arthur got a hold of
him! It was very cool. We taught him last night. He has some serious
hold-ups, but he's just got to push past them! That lesson kept on
making me want to cry too. It's so sad when people recognize but then
deny the voice of the spirit!
We
have some exciting stuff coming up this week! Hoping to have an FHE
with our investigator family tonight. Saturday we're running a luncheon
in Lodi primarily for members to bring their nonmember friends to that
can be relatively non-threatening. Hoping to meet a lot of people and
plant a lot of seeds at that! Pray for it!
New missionary scripture of the moment: Alma 26:22. That's who I need to be :)
