Tuesday- Today we did a lot of walking again! There is nothing wrong with that, but sometimes it gets pretty tiring! Although today we were able to find a couple of cool people while we were walking that we usually wouldn't have talked to! There was a lady walking towards us on the street and I had some cards in my pocket and I didn't know what to say so I just asked her "have you heard of Mormons before?" So it was kind of awkward, but it was really funny because she had dated a Mormon! Good times good times.
Wednesday - Today we had interviews with President Williams! He is an awesome man and then after interviews we had District meeting. It was all about the changes to preach my gospel which are pretty neat. We also had an appointment with a family, we took one of the youth to it, but it ended up falling through... so that was sad, but then the priest we had with us took us out to ice cream! So that was a blessing!
Thursday- Today was pretty fun! We did our weekly planning first thing in the morning, and that is never fun. But then we were able to go help a part-member family move some wood! They live right next to the river so we had to hike all these sticks and branches up a steep hill! It had rained that morning so it was a little bit sketchy but that makes it all the more fun. We also taught a lesson to Troy and Crystal again, and hopefully they will start to come to church!
Friday- Today consisted of a lot of finding and some follow up! We were able to get in contact with a couple of people, one of them that let us teach her on the doorstep! She is going to be out of town for 2 weeks, but after that said she would come to church! Today was crazy weather! We had rain in the morning, then it got really hot and humid, and then the sunset was gorgeous! So it was a pretty cool day.
Saturday - We did a whole lot of knocking doors today! And about halfway through the day we met 3 really cool people within like 30 minutes! One of them, before we even said anything asked us "do you want to come inside?" And let me tell you, you don't have to ask me twice to come inside! Especially when it's 90° outside! He didn't have time right then, but we are going back to teach him and a couple of his neighbor's this coming week!
Sunday - So a couple of cool things happened this week in our district! One of them was in our Ward, an 11 year old girl came to church and wanted to be baptized! It's kind of sad because she lives in the Neenah Ward boundaries, but it was still really cool to see someone want the gospel in their life! Hopefully I will get to interview her for baptism when she is ready! Also one of the other sets of elders was teaching this guy a long time ago, and today he came to church and it's going to be baptized in the next couple of weeks! He was really ready but then had some health issues, so now he is getting better and is ready!
I hope you all have a wonderful week, the Lord provides blessings to us when we do as he asks. This week also helped me to build a testimony of praying and seeing the results. We have had a lot of cool things happen that make every hard day worth it! If you ever doubt that the Lord answers prayers, look a little harder for the way He is doing it, because it is always there! Love ya all, have a good one!
