Dear Mom, Dad, Lauren, and Ian,
Whew, this week has been something! Not just looking for
and teaching people, but stuff within the district as well. I suppose I'll talk
about this one first.
There's supposedly been a little tension in a
companionship in my district. I won't name any names, but the Sister Training
Leaders (STLs) and I have been working on trying to get them to fix it for a
while. Well, more of planning out what we want accomplished in a companion
exchange. The reason why I'm working with the STL's is because this certain
companionship are sisters, and since I can't go on exchanges with sisters they
do it for me and report to me on what happened. Well, their report to me was a
little unsettling. Now, this companionship doesn't want to kill each other,
it's nothing like that. But it's definitely a very big lack of communication.
One sister thinks that everything is peachy keen and the other is miserable.
Not the best kind of thing to hear within my district. XP It's also more frustrating for me because I
can't counsel sisters on these kinds of things. Hopefully, they can sort it
out, but I really hope it is soon because there's a chance that one of them
will be going home for bad health. If that happens, I would want it to be that
she goes home on good terms with her companion. That's been in the back of my
mind this week. :P
On the positives! We're starting to really enjoy the
fruits of our labors now. Pedro, whom I wrote about last week, has a baptismal
date for the 28th of this month! And today, we're going to try and put a date
with his wife as well! He's a very nice guy and loves coming to church. Before,
he was attending with a Christian church, but after exploring ours, chose ours
over the Christian church. He's also reading the book of Mormon as well! We
hope that his wife can join us in the lesson tonight. Also we found a woman
named Kirse, a referral from a member. The poor woman has lived a very hard
life and is still in very tough conditions. Her outlook on life is all misery
and sadness, and the question,” Why is This Happening to Me?” We bore very heartfelt testimonies to her that
she is a daughter of God and that he loves her, and that we're here to help her
find the peace that she has been looking for all her life. That, among other
things; it was a very spiritual lesson. She told us after the closing prayer
that she felt more relaxed than she ever felt in a very long time. She can feel
the Spirit! We're going to work very hard on her.
I sure hope that our other investigators can progress!
And hopefully the sisters in my district can sort things out :P Thank you all
for all your support! Happy Thanksgiving next week! Love you!
