This is gonna be a quicky. My prayers go out to all those affected by the flash floods in Rexburg! I hope it'll all go okay with the aftermath...
Monday, pancakes, dinner with members (the Irvines) and chapping.
Tuesday, we taught Nick the Plan of Salvation! Huzzah for Isreal! He already had an idea that there should be three degrees instead of just heaven or hell and that we were somewhere before birth! He is so so prepared! He's thinking about baptism and he asked us what he would have to change in his diet and conduct, and when we told him a little about the Word of Wisdom he said he already doesn't drink or smoke, and he's already been cutting back on caffeine.... WHAT?! Sometimes, its too good to be true. TOUCH WOOD. We're excited also, because Nick is studying to be a sign language interpreter and the elders just happened to find a new investigator this week whose DEAF. Heavenly Father really knows what he's doing.
We saw Thomas finally and talked to him about his commitment and all seemed fine.
Wednesday we saw Iris and she has non-member friends over and one of them even said he wants to come to church with her to see what she's been talking about! Yay! Hopefully that will happen! it rained and rained and we had our appointment with Scott drop. We taught Thomas about a living prophet and obedience and all seemed fine.
Thursday was AWESOME, because we were in Edinburgh with all the missionaries in East Scotland to learn from Elder Dykes of the Seventy! It was really great meeting. President Brown talked about being diligent and Sister Dykes talked about Enoch (awesome reading for the humble missionary in Moses) and Elder Dykes covered A LOT, mostly about the false traditions of missionaries, improving our obedience and what we can do to help people pray, feel the Spirit, and become really converted.
We meant to teach Jade when we got back, but she wasn't there. We saw Kirsty and Dee though, and talked about the 12 Tribes a bit. But Kirsty was really tired and out of it because she hasn't been sleeping well due to a newly found heart condition. If you could pray for her, that would be great <3
Friday we did service for a non-member named Amber whose friends with our less-active friend Gillian, and she really really could benefit from the gospel, because of what she shared with me, being a widow with two small girls. I really want to teach her! We went and helped Gillian with some math for a test to join the police force that she's been struggling to get through with dyslexia. We saw Sarah and she's still great and 16 so she can come teaching with us now!
We had her come to teach Thomas at the church on Saturday... and he didn't come. With all the trials he's facing right now, he's going to drop the missionary discussions. I don't have time to explain more. We had pancakes with Sarah to make up for her coming to the church. That was fun!
Sunday was a roller coaster and shan't be spoken of. It was okay, but one must always expect
opposition. I feel like that sister on the District, yelling, "JUST COME TO CHURCH!!" Ach. Oh Oh well, agency.
I love y'all so much! Thank you for your prayers!
Love,
Sister Kirkpatrickwell, agency.
