This week was good!
Monday was a normal Pday. In the Evening we were able to stop by Jill and Joseph. We talked with Jill, Joseph was out hunting.. which a lot of people here are doing.. We talked with her for a while at her doorstep and was able to talk a little about the Book of Mormon with her and we set up another time to come by since they've been super busy. Shes flying through the Book of Mormon, it's exciting! After that we just knocked doors. We've been able to get into a lot of houses using the survey and that continued to work rather well this week.
Tuesday we had district meeting. After that we went on exchanges. I went with Elder Smith and stayed in Escanaba. We went to Dusty's Uke class, which was great as always.. after that we visited some people and knocked more doors.
Wednesday we showed up for the Soup Kitchen but no one told us the news as it wasn't open due to thanksgiving. So we had a lot more time to knock doors.. Good things came of it though because we were able to find a new family to teach! We talked with the Mother of 4 kids named Jenny. We did the survey with her and taught her a quick restoration. It all made so much sense to her she said and she also expressed really wanting to go to a new church and bringing her family closer to Christ. We feel like she is super prepared! We set up a time to go teach her, her husband and all of their kids this Tuesday. We'll be on exchanges again, so hopefully it goes well! We eventually ended up exchanging back and finished off the night seeing Josh.
Thursday was Thanksgiving! In the Morning we went over to the Wilbers home for Thanksgiving lunch. It was great! The food and company were very enjoyable. After the Wilbers we drove a ways to the Berry's home. We had lots of time to spare before our next meal so in the mean time we played board games and this super awesome game called Battletag. It. was. so. fun. Basically it was just lazer tag, but an outdoor version of it. There were various settings and game modes you could play. I got really into it.. I had to enjoy it while I could I suppose! We spent the rest of the night at the Berrys having a really good meal and great company. It was very enjoyable as they wanted to make it the best for us as we were away from family.
Friday we weekly planned. We were able to have a good lesson with Sister Kirchner. We shared a scripture along with the new #LightTheWorld initiative the church produced. Its a really great video. Later in the day we stopped by and set up more appointments with people and then knocked some doors. We were able to see the Gentz, we haven't been able to meet with them as one of their kids has had some health issues. Those issues have mostly been squared away so they said they would be able to set up weekly visits again which is crucially needed if they are to make their baptismal date of January 8th!
Saturday we were able to go and help Sherry with some finishing touches of a section she added onto her trailer. It was a little chilly and they warmed us up with some nice hot chocolate and oreos. Later we stopped by and talked with various other people and knocked more doors. We seemed to have a lot more success this week knocking as we ended out the week with 9 new investigators!
Sunday was a nice day, we had church and then finished up some studies. After that we knocked doors and stopped by Sister Marunde. Shes being evicted from her apartment and might move down to Florida soon. We tried to help out in any way we could. There isn't much to be done though. We finished off the day and week by visiting and giving the Sacrament to Josh.
These weeks are flying by! Today is my 22 month mark. I've only got 2 months left! Pretty crazy. Great things are happening though. Hope you all have a good week!
Elder Stevens.
