Hey family and friends!!!
This week has been SUPER!!!
Monday, after emailing we played sports with the elders and Ryli, it was a ton of fun :) Than we went home and had dinner than we had a couple appointments that night. We went and saw our investigator Nancy. We were going to talk with her about the word of wisdom but the spirit prompted us to talk about something else. We just asked her if she was truly interested in us coming over and teaching her and she said that she was!! YAYY :) Than we went and saw the Cagnons, and we talked with them about the Atonement!! It was good :)
Tuesday, we had to get our car inspected so we drove to the service place and they said that it was going to take ALL day! So we called a member from our ward and asked her if she could come pick us up. We waited for her for about an hour and than she took us home and we did some planning than we decided to walk to the library ( 1.7 miles away from our apt). I just watched Mormon messages for an hour. While on the way to the library we stopped and talked to this guy named Sam and he was interested and he gave us his address and phone number :)
Than the service place called and said that our car was done and so we called a different lady from our ward to come get us. She came and dropped us off at the car place and than we went and saw the Vaea's (LA Tongan family). We than went to the church and had our ARP class (addiction recovery program) than went home!!
Wednesday, we had district meeting so we drove to Wheeling, Ohio. Than we drove back and we did some more planning and studies :) Than we went and saw a less-active that we have never met before and she was not interested but super nice!! She said that they have a farmers market and they would feed us for free any time! Than we went and contacted some referrals that we got from a member and we went to the first house and we walked up and told them that we were missionaries from the church and we barley made it half way through that and he said "I'm not interested, and I would appreciate if you leave!" Ya that was probably the most harsh rejection I have gotten on my mission!! We now joke about it :) So we left and to the next house and he was nicer but they weren't interested either.
Thursday, on Wednesday President called us and invited us to MLC ( missionary leader council). They have a training that was given by the mission department and they told Pres. to invite others missionaries and he invited only a few! So zone leaders, sister training leaders, and a few other missionaries were there. We were able to receive the training and it was sooooo awesome!!! :) The training was on teaching and planning. We have been doing missionary work wrong is what they basically told us!! haha :) But they just showed us how to teach better with the pamphlets we have and how to plan better as well!! :) It was awesome :) Than we drove home and planned and did some studies :)
Friday, We went and tried some potential investigators and none of them were interested :( But we had a member driving us around and we went and saw some less-actives that we never met and those who we saw were not interested either :( BUT!! We had a lesson with Nancy, using the new way to teach the restoration from the pamphlet that we learned from the training, and we had an AWESOME lesson!!!! The spirit was SUPER strong and we invited her to baptism and she accepted!!!!!! We set her with a date for June 20 :):) SO EXCITING!!!! YAYYY :):) Than we went and had dinner with the Cagnons and than went and saw a member in our ward so they could meet Sister Landa.
Saturday, we went to the library so we could update things on the computer for our meetings on Sunday. Than Riley came and picked us up and we went and tried some people and we went to see Sam but he wasn't there :( Then we went and helped Ryli with some things she was doing because we didn't have anything else to do :) That night we went to see Sister Southern at the health care center but she wasn't there, she went home, so we went and saw Gretchen. It was perfect timing to see her because she was struggling!! She opened up I was able to connect with her super well!! We both cried! Haha women! :) But it was a really good lesson :):)
Sunday, we had meetings in the morning than church. After church we went and saw Sam, with a member, and we had a good lesson with him too!! He accepted baptism!! June 27 YAYYYYYY!! So we are doing SUPER good with the work right now :):):) Then we went and contacted a referral that we got from a member in our Stake and she was sick but she said she was interested and said we could come back!!! :) Awesome! Later that night we went to the Kelso's house for dinner. That is the family of the little boy we are teaching! He wants to be baptized on June 7 his birthday!! His family is going to talk about it so we don't have a set date yet!! But we are close :)
So this week has been super good with the work :) I am doing great!!! Sister Landa and I are doing great!! Sounds like you have had a busy week!! Glad you are done with the deck!
Sister Landa is called to speak Spanish but there isn't a lot of areas that are Spanish speaking so they sometimes serve in English areas. We haven't gotten any new investigators because she is Spanish speaking, but we have gotten a new investigator :)
I am super excited to Skype this weekend!!! Can't wait :) Hope you all are doing good :) Love you to the moon and back!!! :)
Love, Sister Kierra Wadsworth
