Hello family and pals!
You may see a friend request from me from facebook, so you can like/share my posts to your pals! I can't chat with you though, but I love you! I think I said that last time, but just so you know! I'm praying hard to find some investigators online. If the prophet says that's how the work needs to move forward, that's what I'll do.
This week was great! The Nelson's went to a non-denominational church on Sunday and Wednesday (church on Wednesdays is really really big here) and they thought it was fun so they are going back to that one because it is fun. They know the Book of Mormon is the word of God, but they want church to be really fun so they dropped us. It was really hard, but all is well.
We had lots of miracles this week! It was great. Found a couple new families to teach and had success in Hartsville (a town out yonder) finding people as well. They should put missionaries there.
Anyways, Tina Arbogast and Chelsea (her daughter) came to church on Sunday and her heart has been softened like crazy. She is so willing and ready to learn and loves everything we talk about. She says she feels she has a strong connection with us and she's not sure why. So cool!
Jeanette and Ron Hoffman are so awesome. They are active in their Church of Christ church, but they are really wanting to seek out truth. They read the Book of Mormon a lot and they are praying. They love all that we have taught them thus far! But yesterday she said she was ambushed by her preacher and elders and they gave her a bunch of anti materials. When I mean a bunch I mean pages and pages. She hadn't looked at it yet, and wanted us to look at it. So we did and it was truly hilarious. Saying stuff like we had to get Joseph Smiths permission to go to heaven and a bunch of twisted half-truths. She trusts us a lot and wants to come to church with us Sunday! Which is a HUGE step because their church is the same time as ours so she'd be missing theirs.
We met this guy Robert knocking doors in an apartment complex. He's athiest because he went to a Baptist church and was questioning the ordinance of being "saved". He thinks that you can't just say something and go to heaven automatically. Which it just so happens that's what Christ taught so we are teaching him now! We also randomly found a less active member that really really wants to get back to church. He lives in the Gallatin Elders area though, but super cool we found him. He still reads his scriptures every night and prays, he's just missing church/the sacrament! His mom wants to get back to church too. Super cool miracle we found them. They're actually from Reno, Nevada.
Those are the miracles from the past couple days!
All of these days are just mumbling together into one mush and I do not like it. Can you believe I have been out 5 months? That is crazy talk! The weeks feel like days and the days feel like seconds. It's nuts. Just nuts. Everyone says after your 3rd transfer time is just gone and it flies. I pray for time to slow down!
We had the car this week and the weather has been nuts! Next week is bike week and it is supposed to be just as cold, but all is well! We love it!!
I love you all so so much. I am so happy to know such quality people. Miss you all!
This is Hartsville! Just imagine it super green in the summer time! Tennessee's rolling hills are a beaut.
I LOVE Y'ALL!
When investigators drop you, Sister Anderson advises us to get ice cream. So we did :)
