This week started
off the transfer beautifully. We had a lot of really cool experiences
with our investigators. One of them, Austin, has been doing great and
loves everything we've been teaching. He's studied religion and
spirituality forever, so he just instantly recognizes truth when it's
taught. He even came and did a service project with us this week! We
hauled bales of hay! It was exhausting, but so much fun! I just think of
how Joseph Smith used to say that service is our religion. What better
way for someone to find out what Mormons are all about than to haul hay
in 85 degree weather with some missionaries? Austin loved it! He's in
the video that I'll attach at the end of this message.
Well,
maybe I'll just talk about the video now. Sister Oswald and I have to
give a training to the missionaries here about how to use visuals while
finding and teaching people. To introduce our topic, we decided to make a
video about how NOT to use visuals. It was a ton of fun, and includes
some common mistakes that we all make, along with some not-so-common
mistakes that are just funny. We enlisted the help of the zone leaders
and Austin, and this is what happened!
It
was a lot of fun. We teach on Wednesday. I'll let you all know how it
goes. Speaking in front of large groups of missionaries is
half-terrifying, half-awesome. Hopefully I don't freak out.
I am so
grateful to be serving in Mt. Pleasant. It is a truly wonderful area. I
know that if we work hard and involve the Lord in everything we do, we
will continue to see miracles!
I hope you are all having
wonderful days and weeks and months. I will see you all soon. I am so
happy whenever I hear updates about all the amazing things you all are
doing. You are my heroes!
Thank you for being so inspirational!
