Man, this week we have knocked so
many doors, talked to so many people on the street, and went by so many
less actives and potential investigators ... Sister Megli and I are
exhausted and it is awesome! I love missionary work! My sister, Tairsa,
told me, "If it is not hard, then your not doing it right." I couldn't
agree more. Missionary work isn't the easiest, but when you give it your
all, Heavenly Father blesses you. We were able to find 3 new
investigators this week doing "doors" and talking to people on the
street.
We had a few awesome member
appointments this week, too. Something we are trying to get the ward to
do is write their testimony on a Book of Mormon and give it to a friend; or to give it to us and pray for a person or area that they feel we
should try to contact. I think it is an awesome way to get the members involved in missionary work. So, if you need some ideas on what you can
do, go pick up a Book of Mormon (or 5 or 6!!) and write your testimony
in them, and pray for opportunities to hand them out.
Transfer calls are this Saturday, and that seems unreal that we have been here in Mannheim for almost 5 weeks now! This
last week we also go to Heidleberg for P-day, and it was BEAUTIFUL! I've
included some pictures, so hopefully you enjoy that.
A
cool experience we had this last week ... We were going to a less
active's house for an appointment. They are slowly being reactivated and
their daughter wants to be baptized this next month, so we were going
over to meet them. But, they forgot our appointment. So, we were waiting
for a bus to go home, when out of the blue they showed up. They had to
go shopping, so we didn't go inside their house, but instead we said a
prayer on the street and taught one of the lessons right there as we
waited for the bus. The son thought it was hilarious and he said, "There's a first time for everything!" But, for us missionaries, we do that
all the time :)
One of our investigators that
we met with this week ... she is fantastic! She has had a problem with smoking, but I gave her a challenge (because she loves chocolate). I said I'd give her a chocolate bar if she could go one whole day without smoking ... and she totally did it!!!!! Now we are just gonna have to get
her a candy bar for every day and we will be set! (haha) But,
we had a really cool lesson with her. We talked about how important it
is to not only have faith, but to take action on that faith. For
instance, if you see an old woman on the street and you know she needs
help and you think, "I should help her." But if you don't, that thought is
pointless. Yeah, it was a good thought, but then you need to take action
on that thought and go out and do. Just like Nephi: "I will go, I
will DO, the things the Lord commands."
Well, I hope you all will have a great week! Go out and DO good :)
I love you all!!!
