Happy 4th of July!
This week was a good one once again. We
didn't do much finding this week just because we had a lot of other things
going on but we were still able to hand out two Book of Mormon and meet a couple
new people who said we could come back sometime and teach them, so hopefully
they are actually home at the times they said we could come back.
I also went on exchanges with Elder
Fielding in Orchard Park and that was a lot of fun. The rest of the week was
mostly doing service. There was a family moving out of the ward for a job on
Texas so we went and helped them move all of their stuff to a storage unit and
that was really good to just spend some time in regular clothes, and with the
members. We did that for several hours on two days. We also did some service
for a lady named Suzanne who was the hoarder lady so I cleaned up another
corner of her lawn and we taught her a lesson afterwards and she really liked
it. She was really appreciative of our service and she said she would read the
Book of Mormon.
We also taught a lesson to Robert at the
church and he really liked it and he ended up coming to church this Sunday and
it was a really good fast and testimony meeting and he enjoyed it and he even
asked "how would I join this parish?" So hopefully he continues to
progress.
We had a lost sheep meeting to try and
locate all of the members on the roster with some of the leaders in the ward
and were able to find a couple so that was great. We helped teach young women's
on Sunday so that was a lot of fun! Then after church we went to the Alessi's
for dinner for the last time :( It's ok though because they are a family that I
will stay in touch with for sure!
Then that night the hunters had a really
big fireworks show at there house with most of the ward, and a lot of their
neighbors. It was a really big show with some really big fireworks and there
was only two close calls so that was a lot of fun!
Then this morning we had a Fourth of
July breakfast at the Collets with most of the ward again. I love this
ward sooo much!! The people here are just so awesome and I'm going to be sad to
leave them in a couple weeks but I'm going to try and stay in touch with all of
them and I'll have to come and visit. If there was any place in New York I would
live it would definitely be Orchard Park. It's such a good ward!
Have a good week!
Love you!
