On Monday we had a normal Pday, after emailing and what not we went to the Dam in Escanaba to take some pics. Ill link some below. In the evening we stopped by potentials and knocked doors. We were able to find this cool lady named Emily that we'll follow up with this week.
Tuesday morning we Blitzed with Marinette in Escanaba. I went with Elder Miller. We were able to park contact and talk to some people. After that we had District meeting. After DTM I went on Exchanges with Elder Schoenfeld to Marinette. We knocked a lot of doors and talked to some people and were able to visit some people they're working with. Decent day.
Wednesday was the same. It was super rainy, so we tried to visit a lot of less actives and people they hadn't seen in a while to make the most of the day. In the evening, we exchanged back. Elder Hill and I went straight to our weekly appointment with Joseph and Jill. They are doing great still! Jill has read all the way through 2nd Nephi 19 and she says she cant put it down! We read out of the Families and Temples pamphlet with them, were trying to point them to the temple but of course to be married first. Joseph says he would love to make it back to the temple.
Thursday was weekly planning. But we were able to see Sherry. Shes doing really good, she was able to read out of the Book of Mormon this week and we showed her how to use her Roku TV to be able to listen to the scriptures as well. We taught her the Law of Chastity which was pretty straight forward for her, she agreed on everything. After Sherry we knocked on some doors and met a really awesome lady named Barbara. We also stopped by the Gentz and some other people we haven't been able to get in with and set up appointments to go visit them.
Friday we raked some leaves for a lady in our branch. She gave us shrimp and bacon for helping her out. Worth it. Later in the day we drove out and saw John Casari, the member referral from Brother Cunningham. We had a really good lesson with him, the spirit was super strong as we watched the Restoration DVD with him. He's very thankful for our visits as he gets pretty lonely.
Saturday we had Correlation with Brother Ollero in the morning, he took us out to Subway to eat. After that, we went out to Gladstone and knocked some doors. Later we had a lesson with Sister Desotell, a recent convert. She's doing really well, we focused on her reading the Book of Mormon daily and getting her Patriarchal Blessing. We finished off the night attending the branch Trunk or Treat. We couldn't think of anything to dress up as so we just went in normal pros clothes. That was really fun.
Sunday we had church in the morning. I gave a talk in sacrament meeting on the Atonement. I think it went pretty well. Joseph and Jill were able to make it to church which was exciting! Brother Butterfield also brought one of his friends to church who he says is super ready for the truth! That's a miracle.. Were going to hopefully start working with his friend named Maxeen. Also, a sister missionary came home early from her mission due to health reasons and she brought her friend Jamie! We had 3 nonmembers at church which is great! They all seemed to really enjoy it. After church we finished our studies and then had to stay inside the rest of the night as I started to feel under the weather. There's a lot of sickness going around Escanaba right now.. The extra rest I had yesterday really helped as I'm feeling much better today.
But yea, it was a pretty solid week! We still have baptismal dates with the Gentz family, which we should see tomorrow. and Also with Shannon, who has been sick recently as well.. Jill and Joseph are doing amazing! We're doing all we can to keep finding and teaching the people we have!
Elder Stevens.
