Well I got into the Chiropractor last week and sounds like It isn't anything skeletal, just a ton of muscle tension. The guy said it will take a few weeks till I'm up and at 'em which is good. I have two more appointments this week so we can get back up and running in the work. The Fed ex guys the first day they came by didn't even leave a note for me then I got a call and told them my buzzer and they missed me because I was in an appointment, sooo I didn't get it yet But I think they will be around today, Yay!
This week has been very hot and a little more difficult. We had the chance to bring another investigator and her member husband to visit Jennifer with us and they clicked so well. They had very similar backgrounds and they invited Jennifer to come to church without us telling them too and offered a ride...SICK! Taught the word of wisdom and she has accepted it and will be hopefully continuing meeting with us.
Some things that I have been looking to change in my work here is to one have way more effective planning like I did at the beginning of my mission, planning out our lessons very specifically to the needs of the investigator so that the Spirit can testify to the investigator more profoundly. Second is more member work needs to be done, we feel that the people out here are just comfortable with the milk of the gospel and that isn't okay for now because unless they dig into the meat and become more converted new people will not come in. The Lord wont' let his children get lost because of other peoples weaknesses, he provides a way for them to blossom. We are visiting and teaching members whether active or not and teaching them so they may feel the power and purpose that they have in this part of the world. I have high expectations for the people here and hope I may support them in doing the job the Lord requires them to do now.
Cool news, we are going to be working in St. Thomas ward and also help with a branch out in Tilsenburg. The members there are ready to have some added help in bringing people in and are stoked to get started, we will be there one day out of the week to assist.
I have been continuing to do a more thorough study in PMG and have been blessed with more understanding of the gospel doctrines as I have branched out searching for more and more answers. I love that book it is a great piece of what we do. I challenge all members to read it and it will work its magic with you as well.
That is so awesome that Emma Holmes is off to England! I didn't know she was going? is there anyone else working on their mission at the moment?
1 Corinthians 13:13 says to abide in Faith, hope and charity. I continually seek to have the faith that I may have a hope of showing charity to my fellow people...even if I want to punch people some days.
Looking forward to the final week of this transfer kicking butt!
