So Sis. Whitehead is very nice :),
and she's been really patient with me and my level of confidence in
taking over the area. The ward has been super nice to us this week,
which has been helpful since I'm not super certain how to do everything
yet. But! we have survived the first week, and the rest of the transfer
supposedly goes faster from here.
We have a new investigator!
And it's Hailey, Rick's 12 year old daughter! She is super prepared and
super nice, and she's excited to read the book of Mormon and learn
more. That was probably the highlight of our week, teaching her. :)
Mostly,
the rest of our week, the appointments fell through left and right,
which stressed our back up plans out. But this one less active
Marshallese family finally kept an appointment with us, and they started
coming back to church! That was so great! And they offered to feed us
on Friday night :D.
Saturday was... a day. It drizzled cold
rain all day, and it wasn't our day for the car. So we walked and walked
and walked all over this city knocking on doors. Haha I think Sis.
Whitehead and I had a good bonding experience over that kind of misery.
But once again, we found a little blessing even on a miserable day! This
lady who is married to a less active member let us come in for some
water and chocolate, and we had a good conversation with her, even
though she's super not interested in coming to church. I like when
people are at least interested in us as human beings even if they don't
want church. It made our day :).
Anyways! We found an awesome
scripture this week, and we shared it with several people, so I decided
to share it with all of you! It's Ether 6:5-7, about the Jaredites as
they cross the ocean in little barges. I love that even though the winds
have to be furious, and the waves have to be mountainous to get these
people to the promised land, the Lord always brings them back up out of
the water, and they make it to the promised land safely. It was a good
reminder this week, as lots of things went wrong, that as we continue to
have faith and trust in our Heavenly Father, He'll never let us drown
and he's always aware of us. :)
Love,
Sister Johnson
