Last week was a pretty rough week at the beginning. I am going to tell
you all a few things that happened but don't get sad because there is
good at the end! :) It seemed like every appointment we had cancelled,
our investigators wouldn't call us back or they couldn't meet with us.
Every less active person we tried was not home, so we ended up tracting
a whole bunch. Which we like, but it was really hard to stay motivated
for hours and hours knocking on doors, and talking to people on the
streets. Our investigator Molly that i told you about who was on date
for baptism, like disappeared. she won't answer our calls or texts and
when we stop by to see her, she won't answer the door. Then on Saturday
we went to see one of our investigators named Jackie. Jackie is the
Awesome! we go and see her a couple times every week trying to teach her
but it is really hard because she is like hard core ADD and goes off on
these tangents all the time and it is so funny! We knew that on
saturday when we saw her we had to tell her that we weren't just there
to be her home girls (that is what she calls us) But that we are there
to help her to come unto Christ and help her fill in that void that she
always tells us she feels. As we were talking to her we all just started
bawling because we knew we had to drop her, but we wanted to keep
teaching her because she needs the gospel! she has had the hardest life
and the void she feels could be filled with the gospel! she wasn't ready
yet though and it just killed Sister Allred and i because we love
Jackie so much, which is so weird because we have only been in this area
for 3 weeks! Agency is killer! we know that she isn't ready yet, but
she will be one day.
Now for the Good stuff that makes a mission always worth
it! On Sunday Sister Allred and i gave talks in church on preaching the
gospel to all of our Brothers and Sisters! And they went really well!
(well i think so... almost everyone was crying during both of our
talks. that is a good sign right?) :) It was cool that as we prepared
this talk and gave them and i felt like the spirit was so strong with us
all day!!! We talked to so many great people and we found a couple of
great people who seem super interested in the gospel!!!! It was such a
good day!
I feel like Heavenly Father is really trying to have
Sister Allred and i rely on the Atonement more in our missionary work
and when it gets hard , just have him lift us up. We are so determined
this week to bring salvation to every soul and we are just going to keep
our heads up and rely on him more!
I love you all! keep your heads up when life gets rough and God will lift you up!
