This week twas a good one. We started off with exchanges with the ZL's which is always a party, we found them some new investigators in their area. I also discovered to never EVER ask for extra meat and queso on a bowl at chipotle, they charge thru the roof, 15$! Can you believe that?? On Wednesday we met with the Ray family we found last sunday, the husband Kacey is athiest and needs proof. His wife, Lillian, is super awesome and open, she used to be catholic and hated it cause you have to pay to repent or some weird thing like that, anyway she loved everything about the gospel, even the word of wisdom! She came to church on Sunday but unfortunatly left after sacrament. Another Miracle. Some other elders, not in our zone found a lady, over facebook. Her name is Cheryl, they found her few weeks back and taught her a few lessons and then reffered her over to us. Shes awesome! super prepared and ready for the gospel, she watched General Conference with the other elders and came to church with us this week. Speaking of which, The Do's and Dont's of Fast and Testimony Meeting.
As every missionary knows, its always a gamble bringing an investigator to church on fast sunday..... you just never know whos gonna get up there and talk about southern pride for 8 min. (true story)
-DO bear your testimony as directed by the spirit
-DONT talk about a funeral you went to
-DO bear your testimony as dierected by the spirit
-DONT talk about southern pride
-DO bear your testimony as directed by the spirit
-DONT ramble on a 15 minute story about your week and start crying for no reason
I think we get the point..... PLEASE if you notice the missionaries have an investigator there, follow the guidlines as listed above, then we can all avoid incredibly awkward and uncomfortable situations. And hopefully the investigator isn't confused as heck and learns something about the church.
Thought for the week, Jacob, chapter 5, if you map it out it really isn't that hard to follow, and its AWEOME, this is the 11th hour, the last time the lord is going to send laborer to the Vineyard. Everyone do your part! "Casualness leads to casualties."
