This past
week started out a little rough but it definitely more than made up for
it at the end of the week. By Tuesday, we had already had 5 cancelled
lessons. It is so frustrating to see people forget or just decide to
cancel appointments because they don't realize the blessings that come
with the Gospel. But throughout the week, we had plenty little miracles
that made up for all of the set backs. We were able to contact a few
people that have resulted from the ward mission process. We have been
trying to get a hold of the L's for almost 4 months now, and on
Tuesday, Elder Barlow and I were able to find them at home and set up a
time to be able to meet with Brother L and his wife for today.
We then went over and were able to contact another person to visit for
this Thursday. N has been less active for a long time because of a
terminal illness. She gets upset when people try to tell her how to
deal with her illness, and a lot of that was happening at church. So
she slowly stopped going to church with the hopes that people would
slowly forget about her illness. As a result she hasn't been to church
for many years. She still has a super strong testimony of the gospel,
and she is willing to meet with us. She said that she loves 20
questions, so if you guys know some cool questions to ask, please let me
know because I have never been good at coming up with those kinds of
things.
On
Wednesday, we were able to meet with A, and she is doing really
well. She started coming back to church when her best friend died, and
she had a lot of questions about the plan of salvation and what happens
after we die. We have been meeting with her for about 4 months now, and
she went in for her interview with the Bishop to get a temple
recommend!!! It was super exciting!!! Then on Saturday, we were able
to share a spiritual thought with a less active member out in
Beavercreek named E. She left the church because she found out
something that made her think that the church wasn't for her. She
hasn't told us what it is yet, but we were finally able to make contact
after 2 months of trying.
Sunday
was an amazing day. While we were in Gospel Doctrine, we were told by
Brother M that his son W had decided that he wanted to get
baptized on the 22 of June!!!!! Bro M's family has been going to
church for about 3 years now and W has been attending seminary, but
hadn't none of them had decided that they wanted to get baptized. Then
when we went over to visit them after church, and we found out that his
daughter M wants to get baptized as well on the 12 of July!!!! Now
we are just waiting for the mom to want to get baptized with
the rest of her family.
This past week was great. Then on p-day, there was an elder who tried to headbutt me, and that was strange.
Love you all
Elder Peterson
