Dear Friends and Family:
Well everyone another week in Texas down and only 97 to go... I think.
It's been a while since I've taken math haha. Anyways it's been a good
week in Killeen! We've had the opportunity to teach and meet a lot of
awesome investigators and members! It's always interesting meeting new
people because everyone has a different story and different
experiences so you can learn a lot about life by talking to people. We
also had a funny experience with a woman this week as we were figuring
out how to help clean out her house (She had a hoarding situation
going on). After we had gone through her house and created a game plan
on how we were going to clean this house we found out she was super
into astrology and she was giving us all our horoscopes. We also found
out she was a church choir singer and we all ended up singing church
hymns and eventually a few of her neighbors came out and joined us so
it was an awesome and really funny visit with her. This week we had 5
investigators at church. I also got to participate in a baby blessing
which was an awesome experience! We also found out that next week we
are going back up to Hurst for a follow-up training meeting which is a
3 hour drive from Killeen. Time is flying by and it feels like I've
been here forever but at the same time I feel like I've been here for
a week. I also hit my month mark in the field this week which is
exciting as well!
Miracle of the Week:
This week we got invited out to lunch with one of the senior
missionary couples. We almost didn't go because we were headed
somewhere else but we decided to go. We went to a little philly
cheesesteak stand in front of a Lowes. We met a woman there and we
started talking about eternal families with her and as we were talking
we found out her husband had passed away and that he was a member of
the church but she wasn't. So we gave her a Book of Mormon and talked
about the plan of salvation a little bit. After we had given her the
Book of Mormon she burst into tears and gave us all hugs because after
her husband had passed away she had gotten really angry and gave their
Book of Mormon away and she never thought she would be able to get
another one. This experience really taught me that the Lord is always
preparing people to hear the gospel and you just have to look for and
find those people by sharing our message of Jesus Christ and his
gospel. It's important to always listen to the promptings of the Holy
Ghost and act on them because you never know what your actions could
do for either yourself or others!
