This week was so awesome! We got a lot of stuff done and probably had our most successful week numerically.
One of our investigators (Jim Brown), has been having a really
hard time accepting The Book of Mormon. Every time we go over, he just
preaches at us non stop. This week, we were sick of it and read John
7:17 with him that basically says if you do His will, He will know if it is of God
or of man. It really softened his heart and made him more willing to
read and pray about it. We also promised him that
if he quit smoking (he has been trying really hard to) he would get
an answer that what he was seeking to know is true. It was super cool to see his face when we
said that. i think he is going to really try hard to quit and to read
and pray. I can't wait to meet with him on Wednesday!
We had Stake Conference this week and the Jenkins showed up!!! It
was so cute, they already look like a member family! We then went over
to their house and had a lesson with them about chastity, because they
aren't married, and they were totally on board for it! They are going to
talk to the Stake President about it and said they will get married by March 12th! We also set a baptismal date with the two other daughters who are of
age! It is amazing how prepared this family is! The Lord has really
been blessing us lately!
So some of the members spoiled, Elder Judd and I and took us out to
get some fresh seafood. It was sooooo good!! They got us king crab,
shrimp, crab claws, raw and fried oysters, hush puppies and fried okra! Never in a million years would I have expected me to ever eat this
stuff but I am glad I did, my eyes have been opened up!! The members
just kept buying us more and more food because they thought it was
funny to watch us eat it, I wasnt complaining though!
Last thing for this week, we got transfer calls last night... and I was
so tired that I was already asleep... hahaha but Elder Peck informed me
that I am staying in Crestview for at least one more transfer!! But Elder Peck is leaving... so I will be getting a new companion this Wedenesday! I am super excited but nervous. I hope my new companion will
be cool and will have a strong desire to work and that we can help
each other to learn and grow.
I love you all so much and hope you have an awesome week!
