Hey,
it was a slower week with our appointments cause we had a lot of them cancel. We only got 12 lessons, but we have 25 set up for this next week!
Oh before i forget, you should be on page 137 in the book of Mormon as of today. I'm being sure to stay on top of it, or it gets away to fast!
Church yesterday was great! the entire testimony meeting was centered around missionary work. One of the testimony's was especially great! It was Michael Johnson's (he comes with us to a lot of our appointments). He went to the temple with his brother & aunts to have his mom's temple work done for her. Michael doesn't have a recommend so he sat in the Lobby for 2 1/2 hours. He said, being in the lobby must be like the Terrestrial kingdom, being in a great place but you can go everywhere. He said it felt like eternity and that it was miserable. I don't understand why anyone would want to go to the Terrestrial Kingdom. It was a pretty good testimony.
The weather here has cooled down a lot! We woke up today and there is 5-7 inches of snow down and the great part about it is they don't plow the roads so a lot of people get stuck, but it makes it good for missionary work. On our way to the library, right by the church, there was a lady with her car stuck at the bottom of her driveway and so we hurry and pulled over and helped push her out & parked on the street, and then tomorrow morning we're going over to scrap the ice of the driveway. We were there just at the right time!
Nicole is doing good. She is facing A LOT of temptations and Satan is really working on her. It is crazy! If anyone has any advice or something that helped you through a difficult time, email it to me and I'll get it to Nicole. I can only imagine how hard it would be to completely change your life and everything you do, and come to a place where your the only one in your family.
Chris McClure (met him 17 months ago at the zoo & ended up getting baptized), came out with us for 4 hours on Saturday. Our lessons cancelled so we did stop-by's the entire time. During that time, we ran into 3 athesists and got a lot of rejection and Chris kept telling us that we're like the plague, no one wants it. (but they don't know what there rejecting first off). After Chris told us that he now understands why it is so important to invite people because they know me and that i'm a real person with real challenges and then since gospel is a real thing that can help us through problems we all face. It was a real eye opener for him.
Laura & Ian Knight took us out for lunch on Thursday. It was great food! We went to the Delta hotel's lunch buffet. It was very nice to visit with the two of them. They seem to be doing quite well which is nice to see.
I hope you have a great week!
Love, Elder Norman
