It was another great week of missionary work!
The week started out super slow.
Monday night, October 28.
We ran into some pretty cool people! We got to chat with them for 20+ minutes about their lives and what they believe in. It was a great night! With one of them we even got a return appointment and made her a new contact! Its actually going to be a hot chocolate and donut day at one of the local cafes here in town! I love being able to connect with others and making new friends! We also ran into one of our investigators while we were contacting people, so that was pretty fun!
Tuesday, October 29.
Tuesday was a pretty normal day full of contacting and with two lessons! We actually had a lesson with the investigator we ran into on Monday! It's super cool seeing how excited she is about the gospel and how willing she is to learn more! Third day in a row we have seen her this week. (She also came to Sacrament Meeting last Sunday!)
Wednesday, October 30.
We had a lesson with our friend on Baptismal Date! He is progressing so well! He has a lot of questions still but definitely will be able to make his baptismal date. (With lots of faith and prayer
) We also had a lunch date with our friend we have seen three times this week! This lunch date makes it four days in a row we have been in contact! She is so amazing and loves being with us! We went out to a Mexican restaurant. Everyone only spoke Spanish and it was a little overwhelming at first. But the food was great! I did try a green chili pepper and let me tell you those suckers are hot. The first couple bits were fine then it gets you real good.
Thursday, October 31🧟♀️🧛♀️🧚♀️🧜♀️🤠
Happy Halloween!
We had to treat today like any other day of the week. We went out and treated to contact people and all of the regular missionary work. Thursday is our weekly planning day so we were inside for a good chunk of the day. We also had interviews with President! Interviews are always great! We got to see some of the Missionaries in our Zone. It was fun getting to chatting with them!
We had dinner with a super cool family on Halloween. They are the Whitesides. All the kids showed us their costumes and their candy bags/buckets! I love their family! We also got to bond over the fact that we don't like dogs! After dinner we went over to the Kuykendalls house! We helped pass put candy (and pass along cards) to all of the trick or treaters! The Kuykendalls are so fun and their kids are so cute! I loved being able to get to know them better and hang out with their family for the night. It consisted of trying all the Mexican candies and gagging when trying all of them (all the candies are coated with chili power, I would not recommend trying them. Definitely an acquired taste) and singing Barbie songs with their little girl!
Friday, November 1.
District Council! Same old, same old Missionary Work!
Saturday, November 2.
We had exchanges! I stayed in my area and Sister Willsom went with Montana Vista (a Spanish speaking area) Hermana Humble and I got to spend the day together! I also got to drive the car! I enjoyed it a lot! Our goal for this exchange was to meet our goal for new contacts this week. Our numbers this week was still at 2/8. So we needed to find 6 new people! We had lessons planned for today and half of them fell through! But we really relied on the spirit with knowing who we should contact, talk to, and where to go! We were able to find 6 news that day! It was so awesome!
It was super important for us to find these people because earlier this week, Hermana Green challenged/promised us. She said that if we could find our goal of 8 news before Sunday, that we will have 3 people at Sacrament Meeting. So when Hermana Humble and I found those 6 people on Saturday, I was so excited! Miracles happened today! If you follow the Spirit, you won't be lead astray!
Sunday, November 3.
Guess how many people can to Sacrament Meeting. . . drum roll. . . Three people! It was amazing! We found families for them to sit with and fellowship with! Everything went so smoothly! It was fast and testimony meeting and it was a blessing that we didn't have anyone bare their testimony on something strange! It was a great day! We also had dinner by a fire, it was fun! Yesterday was overall one of the best Sundays in the Mission!
Scripture of the week
Moroni 10:32-33
Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.
We talked about this scripture in Sunday School this week. Christs grace is sufficient for everyone. Everyone who is actively trying to be and become better. Christs gospel is all about progression. We must always be actively trying to better ourselves. There is always something we can be working on! Just like that scripture says, if we come unto Christ and be perfected in Him... then His grace is sufficient for us.
I invite you all to step out of your comfort zone and do something this week that will help you more progress towards Christ! If that's working on your personal prayers, scripture study, or church attendance. It could be something different! Big or small but whatever it is, do something that will help you progress towards our Savior!
I hope you all had a great Halloween!
Happy November!
Love,
Sister Susanna Tracy
