Weekly Email - 9/22/14

We had a really good week this week and tons of fun! Here's how it went

Monday-Same usual P day. E mailing and then some sports and the church followed by some FHE

Tuesday-We went to a funeral for a less active member that recently passed away. It was pretty sad, they didn't have hardly any family there at all. But after that, we had district meeting and I gave a short training on helping investigators receive revelation through prayer. We saw Megan and got her all squared away for her interview and then saw a few other people. Lots of things that fell through and kind of a frustratingly slow day.

Wednesday-We did some finding and found a couple of pretty cool new investigators and then had Megan's baptismal interview. It went good and she was all ready to go and then let us know afterwords that she slipped up and smoked a cigarette on Tuesday! She was feeling pretty bad about it and we called Pres. Bell and got permission to do it this weekend anyway, but she said she didn't feel right about it! So that kind of sucked! The Taylors fed us dinner then we had coordination.

Thursday-Went and helped a nonmember Brother Emmart (his wife is a member) do some work on a trailer he's renovating. The ward elders came along too so that was pretty fun! We found a couple of 14 year old brothers that want to be baptized and should be seeing them tonight and then I had to interview someone the Sisters are teaching for baptism. It went really well. She was super ready! After that, we had dinner with the Zumbrennans and then Brother Thomas came out with us. We went and saw a former investigator, Ray, we haven't been able to see in a while and it was awesome! He had just finished watching the movie "God is not dead" and believed us coming was a sign. He just started a divorce with his wife and was looking for some guidance. We talked to him for a while and put him on date for the 18th of October! He has 4 girls and two of them are old enough to be baptized too! 

Friday-We went and gave a blessing to a inactive members child in the hospital. He's not seriously sick or anything just had some kind of bacterial infection that wasn't too serious. We did some more finding and found a couple new investigators. Then we had dinner and went to the Branch activity. It was a "self reliance night" and there was some stations and financial preparedness, food storage, canning, and 72 hour kits. It wasn't as effective as a missionary tool as we were hoping though. Only the active members came!

Saturday-We helped some members from the ward move some furniture and then went to a baptism that the sisters were having. After that, we tried to visit some investigators with out very much luck and did some more finding. Some members fed us dinner and then we had our appointments after fall through. We ended up meeting some homeless guy and putting him on date for the 11th! haha but he didn't show up to church..

Sunday- We had an awesome day!! Ray came to church with all of his girls! He even brought his neighbor (who is Candy and John's niece) who is looking for a church! Megan didn't come though.. I think she couldn't get off of work. But it was a pretty good day. Bro Nakasone came out with us for a while to visit some less actives and then we had dinner with an awesome family, the Aiono's

Overall, it was a good week! Everything is going well here in Junc City! We should be having some baptisms soon so we are pretty excited! I love you all! Thanks for all your support!
