At the beginning of the week we had to drive down to
Pittsburgh that night. It was POURING rain for 2 hours of the drive.
We were hydroplaning all over the place, because it didn't run off of
the road quick enough. We survived. We slept at at the Pittsburgh ZL's
place for the night. I slept on the ground. Ugh! That morning,
i had to go to the training meeting at 9:30, and we met the trainees.
I thought i was going to get Elder Ireland as my comp, and turns out i
did! Gift of prophecy i guess...
We taught our investigator, and she is doing great! We went on
this long walk with her in the heat of the day, because her son wanted
too. After, we taught her some of the restoration, and it was great!
She was super accepting, and had a bunch of questions. Toward the end
of the lesson she said that she wasn't going to come to church. We
talked to her some more about it, and she changed her mind to "maybe".
The next day we went and did some service for the food pantry up in NY.
They are moving locations, and it was a great opportunity to talk to
some new people! Later that night we helped a less-active with some
service on there house. We peeled off, what felt like, 100 layers of
wall paper. I hate wallpaper.
Later on in the week we went up to NY and taught a 14 year old boy who loves the BoM. He said that when he
reads and touches it he feels the power in it. He said that he prayed
about it, and got an answers that it is true! He wants to be baptized,
we just have to get him to church 3 times. He is super ready and
prepared!
It was a pretty solid week. I little slow numbers
wise, but that because we had 2 days of travel. We got a new mission
president on Friday, and we are meeting him this Thursday down in
Butler--about 2 hours away. More driving... yay. My new comp. is
awesome, and i cannot believe last week is already over! Time flies
when you're having fun, and working hard. Love ya, and have a great
week!
