HOLY HILLS! Our area is going to be a
workout on bike for me. Super super hilly. You're either biking up or down, not
really any in between. Haha.
Elder Ball and I are working hard to
get me acquainted with the ward auxiliaries and members from both wards. We've
been traveling about and though it's a bit overwhelming at times, it's so
cool to be able to get to meet and know so many people! Both wards are very
large compared to my last ward, so I have nearly quadruple people to remember
and work with -- and that's only the members! We don't really have any
investigators or less actives that we're actively working with, but we're doing
our best to find, find, find! Pray that people's hearts will be softened and
open their doors and lives to us. This gospel literally means "good
news" and is nothing more than "glad tidings of great joy" to
those who are receptive to our message. So help us love these people by praying
for them just as we do!
This ward is really great at
organizing ward missionaries they have called and we go out on splits with them
every Wednesday and Thursday evening. A young RM that returned within the last
year from his mission went out with me this last Wednesday and we were able to
street contact into some people. Their car seemed to be steaming from the
engine, and although neither of us knew anything about cars, we offered our
assistance. Haha. We didn't do anything to help them with their car, but
luckily they were parked at home and so we asked them if we could come back to
teach them more later, to which they agreed. The RM asked if they knew anyone who
desperately needed an uplifting message about Christ and one of the
women raised her hand. Haha. So we scheduled an appointment for later this
week. Pray that we can follow the Spirit to help them come to Christ!
