I am doing great and had a really
good week!!! A few tender mercies from the week first happened this Thursday
night as we went to teach a lady Sherrie. She is the mother of a
convert who still lives out here and she has been taught the lessons for like as
long as our records go back. She is an awesome lady. She lives in like a
trailer in the woods. You would not believe how nice this trailer home is
though haha it is soo nice and blew my mind because you would never expect the
inside to look the way it does when you pull up. Anyways when we were teaching
her she had a lot of really trying doctrinal questions. To be honest I was kind
of stumped at her questions and they were deep and hard to answer. Then her son
who was with us teaching responded with something I think we all should think
about, but he said. "Mom, what does the science behind resurrection have
to do with your salvation?" Whenever we have things come up in the church
we question. Check your testimony and ask if that problem you have really has
anything to do with our salvation and the basics of the gospel.
Another short experience that was
awesome is we got to finally go teach somebody that we recently found out in
the middle of the woods while looking for less active members. We ran into this
lady named Lynne. When our day was slow this Friday I texted
her just to see how she was doing and she replied like a five page text about
how she had sat in her house staring at the little card we left her with our
number just debating whether to call us and asked us to please come over! It
was way awesome. She lives in the woods alone with no family, she has been
abandoned by everybody and also was abandoned to take care of 38 cats. It is
quite a crazy experience because all of the cats that live in the house and she
is so loving, she just takes care of them. Not a lot of them are her cats, they
are her son's who has left her and broken contact with her. When Lynne went to
the hospital earlier in life she left with around 3 cats and came back to the
30 or so she has now. She needs our help and I love her and love my mission, a
lot of times when we judge others in this world we don't even know the story
behind them or care to look at their hearts. I need to be better at this and my
mission sure helps a lot. Have an awesome week everybody. The church is true.
If you don't know for yourself read the Book of Mormon... It is simple ;) Love
you guys
