Happy Halloween everybody!!
Our
Halloween is kinda boring, cause we all have to be inside by 7pm. :) So
we'll finish P-day, go to dinner, then go play sports as a zone. Should
be fun. :) Kevin made us come by this afternoon, so we could trick or
treat at at least one house. :) He gave us candy and stuff. :) He's
funny.
Last Monday we taught Kevin, and showed him the
talk, "Fourth Floor, Last Door" by President Ucthdorf. It was super
good. :) The Elders came with us, to see if they could help us clear up
some of his concerns, and they wound up giving him a priesthood
blessing. It was very sweet, and I really hope that Kevin will open his
heart to it. :)
I forgot that we have to find time to do
the 12 week training program for new missionaries, so it's been kind of
an adventure making sure that we get it done.... : D
On
Tuesday, Sister Peacock had a dinner with all the other new
missionaries, and I went on splits with one of our ward missionaries! It
was awesome. :) We went to Book of Mormon class, and I went to dinner
with another set of Sister Missionaries. We had a good time.
Wednesday,
we met with a man in our ward and the Elders to talk about some people
in our ward who might need our help. After we were done talking, they
asked if we would teach the Restoration to him and his wife, with them
posing as non-members. (Our stake is pushing the missionaries in each
ward to get 20 lessons a week, so members can sign up to have us come
teach a 20 minute Restoration discussion.) So it was a little bit of a
surprise. It was kind of cool actually, because that morning during our
12 week study, we had practiced teaching the Restoration in a minute or
less! When you are prepared, Heavenly Father definitely helps you.
We
were contacting, and we met some really interesting people. One is
named Miriam! She is a very sweet lady, who we sang to in a park. She
said she comes to the park every Monday and Wednesday, at 5:30, and that
she would love to talk to us more! So we hopefully will be able to
teach her. :) We had dinner at a new family in our ward's house, the Fry
family, and they just moved here from Orem! I found out that they lived
just down the street on Paradise Dr. from one of my really good
friends. :) That was pretty funny. Random connections!
Thursday
was really good. :) We did service at 2nd Harvest, and went on splits
so that we could go see Sister Romano, and help with the Korean English
class. Good times all around.
Friday was crazy. Crazy things happened.
Saturday
we got to go do temple tours!!! It was way fun. :) While we were there,
a recent convert came up to us and talked with us for a few hours. It
was super awesome. :) We had the stake trunk or treat, where we got to
be judges for who decorated their trunk the best. My personal favorite
was the Pokemon Go trunk. :)
Kevin came to church
yesterday, and it was great! I'm so grateful for him, and his desire to
come to church, and to continue learning more.
That's about it! I love ya'll lots. :)
Isn't
it amazing that we are truly children of God? We each have the genetic
disposition to become like Him. I am so grateful for that. I know that
we each truly have the potential to become like Him. I love you all!
Have a great week!
Love, Sister Wood :)
