Hello!
This week was great! Easter Sunday was awesome. We have a baptism coming up on May 10th!
The
beginning of the week was a little slow--the whole week was slow. On
Monday we went and visited our neighbor who is a devote Catholic. She's
super nice though, and interested in learning more about the church.
We taught her The Plan of Salvation. On Tuesday we went to the doctors
for Elder Bowers back. It was also super cold this day. It had a
weird snow/hail mix. We went to the doctors, and they weren't very
helpful. They said that he needed an MRI to be able to see what was
really going on. We left the doctors a little discouraged. He kind of
wasted our time. He wasn't super helpful or caring. As we drove
through the Fort Pitt Tunnel to get back to our house, you couldn't see
the city. The whole area was covered in clouds. It was pretty sweet!
After we went and taught our investigator T. We set him with May
10 to be baptized, and he is so excited for it! Our plans for the rest
of the day kind of fell through, and we went around talking to people.
Wednesday and Thursday picked up a bit. I taught my
second district meeting on involving the ward members in our work. I
thought that it went pretty well. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, and
learn something from it. We did an exchange with the zone leaders, and i
went back to my area with Elder Weatherston. He is HUGE! He is 6 9"
He's awesome. We went and saw some other investigators and then had dinner at
the Memmott's. The Memmott's have this huge pile of wood that they
need to move, so we helped them with that! Then they took us to Rita's
after. It's this yummy ice cream place. Thursday we exchanged back,
and went and helped the Z's take apart their deck. They are doing and
addition to their kitchen, so they needed help dismantling their deck.
It was fun. We got to destroy it!:) Then we went and taught T.
again. He's still doing awesome, and he agreed to come to the baptism
the Sister's were having on Saturday. After we had dinner with the
Mickelson's, then taught some more people.
Friday and Saturday were slow numbers wise, but we
were SO busy. On Friday we had weekly planning and then went and walked
around a city called Oak Mount for 2 hours. It's a nicer area, so
people were less friendly... After we went and had dinner. Then we
went and saw Sister S. a less-active and invited her to come out to
church. Then we Helped Bro
Memmott with his pile of wood. On Saturday we had the baptism. It was
such an awesome experience. It's a great family, and 4 of them got
baptized. A lot of the ward came out as well. T. came, and got super
excited for his baptism on the 10th. He really likes the church, and
doesn't have any problems with it. After we went and helped Bro.
Memmott with the wood. Then we went and taught G. We talked about
the resurrection.
Sunday was Easter Sunday! We went to church and had
a good sacrament meeting. T. came and loved it. The family that were baptized, were confirmed. I confirmed one of them. It was a cool
experience. You can literally feel the Holy Ghost enter their body!
After, we went to their house, and had a
little Easter thought with them. Then we had dinner at the Memmott's.
It was yummy! We had ham and funeral potato's.
Overall it was a great week. I little slow numbers
wise, but still great! I am excited for this week. It is shaping out
to be a pretty busy one. Have a great week. Love ya guys!
