Lots
of things happened this week, we had two members from the missionary
head quarters come. They spoke on some really cool stuff, I unfortunately
wasn't able to go, (the other sisters told me about it).
The gospel is super basic! Keep it simple and ask lots of questions, but this is all stuff for me...anyway...
Sam has been doing good, he comes the church every once in a while and has finally gotten comfortable with us.
We were able to meet with Alvis again, the sweet old man that lost his
wife and daughter 3 years ago. We challenged him to pray, but he wont
for some reason. He prays to his daughter and wife all the time but
never to God. When Mary (his daughter) died she was in a coma and Alvis
had to choose to let her go or keep her, he still blames himself and
won't pray because he is scared he will get an answer and he won't like
the answer. Anyway, he's definitely a work in progress.
Sister Collins and I have been trying to find this less active member,
Phil, for a long time. Well, we figured out he lives in the veteran's
home we do service at. We finally gave up on finding him and when to
find others, well the Lord had a different plan! As sister Collins was
hanging up a poster in the veteran's home one day, a man was walking
past and paused to read my name tag, he then stated, "Hey I belong to
that church!" ...okay lots of people have said this and let me tell you,
no they do not, they should but they don't. But this time he was right!
It was Phil! It just amazes me that we found him after searching for
so long!
This week has been crazy! I think the biggest thing that made my week
was hearing how members have helped missionaries, I just love those
stories! I know this wont be new for any of you but I want you to share
something from Mormon Channel RIGHT NOW! on Facebook, twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, or in a text message. I know it's sooooo hard, but
do this one little favor for the God you Love. This simple act can help
move his work along. I love you Guys, have a safe week!
Love,
Sis Charlotte Partridge
