How was everyone's st Patrick's day??
This week was great, but it definitely had its fair share of
disappointments. Jerry was a solid new investigator, but when we
showed up Tuesday morning for the lesson, he told us never to come
back. Then Tuesday night, per request of Elder Arnold last week, we
had to drop 2 of our eternigators, Sheena and Antonio. We are doing
everything we can to find new investigators!
Wednesday we had an awesome lesson with Danny, we brought a bunch of
kids from the Mission Prep class, and they did great! They all had to
put in their two cents, and it was a really long lesson, haha, but
Danny loved it. And we got him on date for baptism April 16th! So
that's the good news! The bad news is the phone call we got from him
this morning...he is having marriage issues and wants us to stop
lessons for a while until he gets stuff figured out.
(
any progress with someone, Satan steps up his game. I wish our
investigators could see things from our perspective!
On he Bright side, we've been stepping up our finding efforts this
week, specifically with e members of the Ward. On Friday, we made a
TON of cookies and brought them to our investigators, recent converts,
and a few specific members and asked for referrals. Haha we thought a
little bribe might help ;) we had some success with that!
Friday night was the Agua Fria Ward st Patrick's party. It was a ton
of fun! Plus, we have SWEET members! A few people brought their
nonmember friends and introduced them to us, so we can start meeting
with them this week :)
Saturday and Sunday were stake conference. We had Elder Teh from the
70 come. It was awesome to hear from two GAs in two weeks! He shared
some cool things about simplifying and focusing on what's important.
President Griffin also spoke, it was a good meeting :)
That night, every single one of our appointments fell through, so we
decided to sit in on mission prep. It was great, but the best part was
after it was over. Brother Doyle, an older member of the Ward who also
came, decided to give us a ride in his wife's car, the batmobile. A
2016 Corvette Stingray, with lots of extra things that I don't know
what they mean. I guess you could say it was a good night :D
Also to note, we saw a wolf on the way home. A full grown white wolf
crossed the street right in front of us! So what's the smart thing to
do? Obviously flip a u-turn and follow him down the street. We
followed him with a flashlight through our window through the
neighborhood for a while (umm?), until he dissapeared into a field. It
was like something out of a sci-fi book! It was awesome :)
Spiritual thought! We sang hymn 43 in stake conference, and this line
really stood out to me!
"In the furnace God may prove thee, thence to bring the forth more bright,
But can never cease to love thee, thou art precious in his sight."
I know that God loves us more than we can imagine. Whatever we go
through, however hard it is, never EVER feel like he isn't there! He
knows exactly what we need, and he has so much in store for us. He
leads us along at the fastest pace we can handle, because he is a
perfect parent, and he knows how to best help us reach our eternal and
glorious potential. I love him so much :)
I hope you all have a fantastic Easter week!!
-Elder Wheeler :)
