Sorry, I don't have much time since
we are skyping on Sunday. :)
We
did a lot of work this week. We had a lot of missionaries we had to take care
of and focus our efforts where they were needed in Dundee. We had a meeting
with the stake presidency and the mission presidency on how we can move the
work forward here in the Dundee Stake. It was a great meeting and we got a lot
of great ideas. I am really grateful that I get to work around so many inspired
men and women.
We
had a golden investigator drop us this week. She came up to us a few weeks ago
and said she wanted to learn more about Jesus Christ. This week she said she
didn't want to meet anymore and she wanted to find her own way. We were
shattered. It was really hard, but we know that as we are faithful and continue
to do our best that the Lord will continue to lead us to those that are
prepared. I need to be willing to become more clean. I need to repent and be
more worthy of the spirit to guide me and put words into my mouth. I want to be
a clean vessel.
We
were in the city center the other day talking to people, and I went to stop
this family. As I said "Hiya, how are you?" The little girl (she was
probably 5) sticks her hand up and goes "We're too busy." I said
"You're too busy for the greatest message in the world?" She kept her
hand up, kept walking and replied "We're too busy." The dad looked at
me, kept walking and just shrugged. It was quite funny. Hopefully I'll see them
again.
I also
stopped this man, and he said he was busy but he'd be back in 10 minutes, and
then he would talk to me. I told him that I would hold him to that. When he
came back we sat down on a bench, and he told me his story. He was a member and
then got his records removed by his mum when he was 13. He got rebaptised when
he was 19 and excommunicated when he was in his 20s. Fast forward 20 years and
he was longing for those feelings he used to have in the church. He missed the
love of God in his heart and wanted that back. We set him with a baptismal date
and we are excited to help him get back on the right path.
I
look forward to skyping you!! I love you. Have a great week.
