Dear family
First off mom I got your package! Thank you so much for sending that, I love everything you sent! You sure know me well! one thing about the cd's the first two cd's are the same cd, but it's good because now sis. Pollock can have one! :) I sure love getting letters from you so much! and the 20 billion post cards that I got from dad! that was fun too! :)
So last wednesday was a pretty cool day, we had district meeting and we got to roleplay infront of everybody, it was a bit scary but I learned so much and I really took it seriously and I felt the spirit super strong. After DM we got to have sis. young (senior couple) come with us while her husband went with the elders to do service on a farm, it was so great to have her with us! She's the best! We had dinner at the Bauserman's that night, he's the ward mission leader. it is awesome going over there. We love it so much! This next section is the letter to Pres. that describes all of our successes this week so I don't have to write it all again I pasted it here!
We have had a great week. It has been very successful, though we have had a lot of no's (56 to be exact) we have had 2 people say yes to our message, which makes all of those no's so worth it. We made a lot of headway with one of our investigators named Ron, we have been trying to get him to come to church since before I even came out in the field and he was at church yesterday! we were so excited! We asked him how he felt and he said he felt really good! He wants to get baptized so bad, but he has to get married first because he's living with his fiance. Things will work out for them! I am really excited for them!
Another one we are working with is Mike Smith, we had a baptism that we invited him to, he came and he said that he felt the spirit, we have been helping him recognize how he feels the spirit and that is helping him develop his faith and confidence in himself. He is on date for baptism for July 13th, he just needs to quit smoking and drinking coffee, we prayed with him at his appointment and that was the date that stuck out to him, so there you go! The spirit is amazing! I love it so much! :) We have a solid investigator Megan who we just started teaching last night, her fiance is in our ward and has been wanting her to talk to the missionaries for a long time. We taught her the 1st lesson last night and it went great! :) We are excited to keep teaching her.
ok letter over! We have had a lot of tracting opportunities this week, we tracted into a hippie and he and his wife invited us in and told us all about their life and he sang us some songs on his guitar and filled us full of political tree hugging views, it was awesome! his name is sunny Klimczyk he's got a website if you want to go and listen to some of his songs, they are pretty hippietastic! :) www.unsigned.com/sonnyklimczyk really though go listen to him, he's good!:)
we just love meeting all of these people with crazy stories and talking religion with them! it's so great! :) life here in the field is great! My allergies have been super bad this week though, I finally got me some clairitin because I couldn't talk to people because I would sneeze every time I would try to say something. So we have been working with this less active guy David Penny for about 3 weeks, trying to get him back to church, we went to visit him last week and he was drunk as a skunk! It was pretty rediculous, he wasn't making any sense, he told us he was reading the pearl of great price and it was saying that moses created the earth and not Jesus, and a bunch of stuff like that. You could smell it on him, wheew! so we left thinking that there was pretty much nothing else we as Sister missionaries could do for this guy...well he came to church on sunday sober (the last sunday he came he was drunk) and got up and bore his testimony about how since we have been coming to see him he feels like he has a purpose again. So that gave us hope and we are definately going to keep seeing him.
Some crazy exciting news....!!! We are getting mini missionaries this saturday! here's the crazy news....THERE ARE GOING TO BE 4 OF THEM!!! WHAT THE!!!!
We heard this news and we were baffled as to what we were going to do and how we were going to make things work, but thanks to our amazing ward and inspiration from the Lord we were able to think of things and figure out teaching appointments and dinners and transportation for us all. The Lord is in this work for sure! it's crazy! IF we go to transfers we could either lose sis. Pollock, and get me a new trainer, or get another sister. so potentially we could have 7 sisters in our house until next saturday! It's going to be insane! Please have lots of prayers because we are going to need it! :)
