Hey everyone!
Well, another week has passed by! Still out here in good old Marshfield. This week has been filled with many miracles and I am so grateful for all of your prayers for me as I have really felt the blessings from all of your faith! God works mighty miracles through and according to our faith and I am very thankful for you all! I hope all of your weeks have been as good as mine!
For last P-Day we went as a mostly whole zone to a Hmong restaurant(there are some Hmong speaking elders here) and got like these super weird drinks. They were kinda like slushies but had a weird type of ball kind of like those things you can get at the frozen yogurt places. But it was actually super good. You couldn't taste them hardly but it was like a super cool texture and it was fun!
This week we decided we were going to change how we did tracting a little bit and so we wrote a list of 15 streets that we thought would be good to go to. We did that part together and then we both picked 5 of those streets by ourselves and compared the list that we had. We ended up having 2 streets that were the same and so we ended up deciding to go tracting in those areas!
We got to the first street and started knocking and literally everybody was home but nobody was interested at all or gave us the time of day so I was like greaaaat another day of talking to nobody. We go to the last apartments on the street and knock on the last door of the day and this young adult answers and we give our approach and he actually let's us in to teach and it was incredible! His name is axel and we felt the spirit so strong and have him on a return date to teach him again! And that was the first time we had ever even gotten in a door while tracting and it was really cool to have that inspiration and guidance by the Holy Ghost to knock that street that day!
The next street we went to we realized that a young mom named Tomi lived on it that had been dropped by the missionaries about 6 months earlier lived on that street so we went and visited her! We have since taught her 3 times and are already starting to see some progress! The Lord works in incredible ways and we have to be willing to go and do whatever He tells us to do and when we do that we will be blessed immensely!
We are also progressing with Berniece! She is this sweet 90 year old lady who has 2 daughters that live in Utah who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and also grand children and great grand children and it is so fun to talk to her! She is very faithful to her church but we were able to Skype in one of her grandchildren who served a mission to help us testify of the truthfulness and the blessings that come from this gospel of Jesus Christ! It is incredible what we can do with technology now a days haha.
We also had a meeting in Appleton, which is about 2 hours away from Marshfield, with all of the other missionaries that came out with me and it was fun to hear their experiences and what they are going through haha. Missionary work is awesome and I am excited for everyone preparing to serve and also for all of the missionary opportunities that everyone as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has! I know this is the true church and I am so glad that I get to proclaim the teachings of Jesus Christ to all of the people here!
Thank you all again for all of your thoughts and prayers! I love you all and hope all is going well at home!
DO GOOD BE GOOD
Love,
