for Aitkin. We have been told that Aitkin hasn't been this productive
in a long time. So that's really exciting, but also crazy to think,
cuz it's still super hard to find people to talk to/ teach. We are
working hard and trying to find new ways to find people. So to tell
you more about our district goal of having 30 first lessons, and
Aitkins goal to have five. We have achieved our goal, and we have
gotten 7 first lessons, it's been really fun. Now the zone leaders
have to buy us ice cream. ( cuz that's what they promised to do haha)
Tuesday: We had a lesson with John and Char again. And they committed
to baptism. We are so stoked. We are really worried, cuz they have
some word of wisdom issues, and a law of chastity issues. Since they
were married, then divorced because of being on welfare they get more
money being single. So our next lesson with them is going to be really
interesting haha. Hopefully they will see the importance of these
changes in their life and that money is just a temporal issue.
Wednesday: We did a lot of service. Since Minnesota is just covered
with grass, and it grows like crazy cuz of the whether. We mow a lot
of lawns. We had lunch with sister Peicek, and she gave us a bomb
apple pie. So we went and bought ice cream and have eaten it for every
meal since.
Thursday: Not a lot happened, but we tracked, which is so fun.
(Sarcasm). Every house was a bust until the very last one, and then we
got a first lesson. It just goes to show that you have to have faith,
and then being willing to work for it. And then heavenly father will
put someone in your way that is willing to listen.
Friday: We tracked again and met a man named David. We had a good
first lesson with him. And he invited us back. I also got to talk to
president Forbes and he gave me some advice on how to adjust to
missionary life, and also for John and Char.
Saturday: This was a day of enduring. We went to Crosby, which is the
town that is 10 miles away and that has a lot of people to teach. We
brought our bikes so we could save miles. Well through out the days
every lesson we had planned out and set up and appointment for didn't
show up to the lesson. So we had to keep changing plans which was
tough. Then my bike pedal broke off, and we were three miles away from
a bid shop. So I rode the bike like a scooter all the way there. (
they called me today saying that I can pay for a new pedal, which is
20 bucks, or I buy a pedal and a lower bracket cuz that's messed up
too for 150.) the pedal isn't a sure fix, but I'm still on,y paying 20
bucks and just hope, pray, and maybe give my bike a blessing that it
will be fixed.
Sunday: Church was great, the members of the branch are so faithful
and strong. It's really cool to see how the church is the same
anywhere you go. We had an appointment with Cece. But she wasn't home.
It's really disappointing when an investigator with a baptismal date
doesn't show up for a lesson. But we made the best out of the rest of
the day.
Monday: today I'm going shopping for winter cloths cuz in about a
month it's going to start snowing here and get really cold.
Well I hope you all are doing well, I love and miss you all.
