Sorry this might be a
little short, craziness has ensued this week as far as having other things to
get done so I've almost run out of time! This week we had the opportunity to go
to the temple, we get to go twice a year, right around conference, so that was
pretty cool. It was also fun to see some of the other missionaries that I had
worked with before. Now that I've transferred and been out of a little bit, I
actually know people when we have big meetings and stuff. Although I guess that
the real sign that you're an old missionary is that you don't know people at
meetings because they're all too new. I can't actually think of anything else
super exciting or interesting that has happened this week, sorry! We have been
doing a lot of training and introducing so that S. Markus can know people and
know what we do. We have been teaching a man named Dennis a lot, he actually
has a baptism date so that is pretty exciting! Our most prospective
investigator though, who is the epitomy of a Black Baptist man is now moving to
North Carolina for at least a month. But on the bright side, he said that he
and his wife were going to finish The Book of Mormon by the time he got back!
So, hopefully that will happen! Honestly I think that Amos 8:11-12 has become
one of my favorite scriptures, at least for now. When you really do find those
people who are hungering after the word of God, it is an amazing thing! Now if
only it would happen a little more often! If I didn't tell you about Amos
though, you probably would have thought I was in love with Alma 32, just from
how well I know it. I think by the end of my mission I'm going to have it
memorized, just from using it so many times.
I don't remember if I
told you about Charles and Tracy and their sign already. Their dog was killed
in a hit and run on the busy road outside of their house. So to make the person
feel bad they put up a huge sign that says "YOU KILLED OUR DOG!" on
one side and then on the other side "WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP!". It kind
of reminds me of the signs you see on the way to the Arlington Stake Center
from our house. You know the ones that are like "JESUS LOVES YOU!
WHY?"
Anyway, sorry I have
to go. I promise I'll make this longer and more detailed next time!
Love,
