Hello Everyone,
This
has been a really fast and fun week. We had a really busy week and I am
very tired so you will have to excuse anything that does not make
sense.
To
start we started by going on a team up with a couple of Elders. A team
up is when you go with another missionary for a few hours. I went with
Elder Martineau . He has been on his mission for about 6 Months. The
area that he is serving pretty rural. We started off the night by
trying to track down a referral for a member. But him being new in the
area and I never really have been in their area before we got lost and
spent a good while trying to find where they lived. By the time that we
had got there the house looked like everyone was asleep. We didn’t feel
it would be a good idea to go and knock on because people would have
just gotten mad at us for getting to there house so late. So we went and
saw a convert of a few years and set up a time for them to come aback
and teach some of 5e new member lessons. It was good to be out with
Elder Martineau and learn a little form him.
Them
I got to go on a team up with Elder Edgington. We were able to hit the
bikes for a few hours and talk with some people. We talked to this guy
named B.J. A really nice man but he doesn’t believe in god. He asked us
how we are so successful and we said we could come back but he didn’t
really want us to come back. He was convertible in his life. Most people
are comfortable in life so they don’t think that they really need
anything else in life. But we went to one of their Progressing
Investigators and and talked about seeking first the kingdom of god 1
Nephi 13:33. We invited her to pray about baptism and she said that she would pray about it. That was a really exciting night.
We
got a call from this lady asking help to move this Hoarder. It was
horrible. It was probably one of the worst houses I ha e ever moved. I
looked inside her fridge just to see what it was like. One breath in and
look inside I start to through up. It was so nasty. Sorry I didn’t get
any pictures. But it was so back that you could Bailey walk into the
front door. Hopefully they will be able to get all of the stuff gone
soon and they will get everything done.
We
had Zone conference this week. It was focused on teaching the
restoration and getting back to the basics. It was really good. We
really went through the time line of the restoration and apostasy how
ever thing played out in years. When you have a foundation based on
Christ you can really start to understand the small details of how the
little things happened. I got to see Elder Anderson there whatcha was so
good to see him.
To
finish up the week I went on an exchange with Elder Snow. We both came
out together and this was my second Exchange with his and it was really
fun. We went to this former investigator's house named Marquis. A really
cool guy. We invited him to be baptized and he agreed to, but he will
ha e to come to church first. That was his big problem why he wasn’t
baptized last time so hopefully he will be i in a place to where he can
be baptized and he wants to come to church!
I hope you all have a great week! Continue to hold strong there is light at the end of the tunnel!!
Love,
Elder Berry
