Hey guys!
This week was great and I will probably
forget to tell you all of the things that happened so
hopefully I get them all. So first off on Tuesday we went to the Peter
Whitmer Farm in Fayette, which is where the church was restored 186 years ago on
April 6th and I got to be there on the fifth so that was really cool! We had
trainings and just a bunch of activities with our zone and Palmyra South zone
so it was really fun to be with the other missionaries!
So this week we did quite a bit of
tracting and going around looking for service. We don't really have any service
here in this area so hopefully we can get a little bit of it soon. The tracting
has been going pretty good. We get a couple potentials on each street and hand
out some Book of Mormons. We had some good lessons with a couple of less
actives here in West Seneca and down in Hamburg. We had dinner with the Robison’s,
who are a younger family here in the ward and they have four younger boys and that
was a lot of fun.
We had a couple good lessons with our
awesome family the Mashburns. They are set to get baptized on the 23rd if everything
goes to plan!! So that will be awesome!!! They came to church today, they go to
young women’s, scouts, and other church activities, and they are accepting
everything we are teaching them. And the ward is doing a great job in
fellowshipping them too.
We had a really cool lesson with a
younger guy from Scotland! And yes he has a really cool accent. He's agnostic
but we talked for a while and he's willing to try things out and he said if God
answers his prayers and tells him that the Book of Mormon is true then the only
reasonable thing he could think of to do is to join the Mormon church. We
didn't even mention that he just said if it was true he would have to join. So
hopefully he recognizes God’s answer to him.
Saturday night we had a variety show at
the church and that was fantastic!! This ward has so much talent and it was so
much fun. I will send a couple of videos. I wish I would have gotten more but
they ranged from, napoleon dynamite dancing, lip singing frozen while riding a
hover board Segway thing, piano, and everything between.
Then on Sunday we had really good meetings
and everyone still seemed to be on a spiritual high from conference and our 10
year old investigator Austin bore his testimony in sacrament, we had good
lessons, and the people are great so it was good!
Then we had dinner/lunch at the Alessi's
which is a super cool
family. They have four daughters and only
one is still at home and
she's super cool, he works for Thermo
Fischer here and he goes to Logan sometimes for meetings, so we have that in
common so it was just a lot of fun! I really like this ward and it actually
reminds me a lot of Spring Creek ward. It's a bigger ward for out here, it's
got tons of young families and kids, and some older, a bunch of youth, and a lot
of the members moved out here to work for some company that shut down in Utah
so they came here so there’s a lot of Utah families. Might end up being my
favorite ward out here?
We'll see. Have a great week!
Love you!
