This weeks been good! We are striving to be better everyday here so that we are not tying the lords hands of blessings! We had a pretty solid week I'd say.. nothing to out of the ordinary.. oh yeah except that the mission office almost burnt down to the ground.... haha yeah no lie.. the property that the mission office is at is a huge plot of land, and the church of course pays people to help maintain the grounds.. and I guess that the guys who were cutting the grass, his weed cutter leaked gas and the field caught on fire and since it was windy that day (Friday) the wind just carried it toward the mission office and almost caught it on fire.. haha yeah funny story.. everything is well though!
This week we got information about a less-active that we've never met before, so we thought, okay when we have free time we'll go and try to see them.. so eventually we got an opportunity to contact them and WOW! What an impression I got with this family! It is a family of a single mom and her 2 sons. One is 17-18 and the other is about 8-10ish but the oldest son has not been baptized and actually wants to be! Which is amazing and surprising because we only met him once or twice and he really wants to know and come to church! It was fantastic to see this family! They said they love the Elders coming but they haven't came for a very long time about 2 years.. so they were happy to see us! It was a pleasant and warm welcome! Because recently I've been having this feeling that I'm going to be leaving this area even though I haven't stayed that long here.. but if the Lord keeps me here I'll know for a surety that I'm going to do my best to teach and help this family as much as I can! I mean I try to do that with everyone I meet but if I do stay I will know it's because of them! :) So we will see in about a couple of weeks of what the Lord whats of me and needs me to go! :)
Oh and for Spencer's brother I haven't gotten any word from him.. hopefully I get to see him this week or something! Thank you by the way!!
All is well here, we are still trying to do our best with what we got!
Love you all and have a great week!
Love,
