Hello Friends and Family!
My first full week in Life Oak is complete! This week was a very interesting one and a lot of crazy stuff happened. There were also many miracles. So on Monday night, we had a lesson with one of our people and we were talking about the restoration. About 1/2 way through the lesson, we could see she wasn't completely focused and so we brought up Family History. She was super interested and excited to participate in doing family history work and is planning on coming to the Family History Class on Wednesday.
On Tuesday we went to an area and were knocking on a few doors. As we were going around, we met some awesome people. One in particular was Teri. We knocked on her door and she told us she had met with the Missionaries in the past and knew a member that lived close to her. We fell prompted to offer her service if she needed any and she accepted. We went by on Friday and were able to help her clean her porch. After helping her, we shared a scripture and she really opened up to us about how she has been going through some hard things. We shared a little bit of our message with her and promised her that it could help her find joy in her trials. She is super elect and open to learning more. Later on Tuesday, we found Jennifer and Ron. We were trying to find s member of the congregation and found them. They are super desirous to be baptised and act on the message we shared. We went back Friday as well and they had read from the Book of Mormon and were excited to learn more.
Wednesday was a weird day. A lot of crazy things happened and Elder Adair and I laughed a lot. We met a blind guy who is a member and he was super nice. He is in a wheel chair and his care giver brought him to the door. He listened to a scripture we shared and then we were leaving and his care giver had left somewhere in the house. So we closed the door and he just sat there. It was kind of weird. We also met a lady who had a full on beard. It was super crazy and pretty gross. Then just to put a cherry on top, we met a guy who thought that a rock formation called devil's something in Arizona is a giant tree trunk that when giants came to the earth, they cut it down. He believes that giants would bring different races of people to the earth as their slaves to mine resources and that is why there are lots of different types of people on the earth. He was pretty crazy! He also said that there were two creations and that Adam wasn't the first man on the earth. After today, I am so glad that I know what I know about the restored fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is such a blessing that each of us need to remember to not take advantage of and be so greatful for each day.
Well, I hope you all have amazing weeks. Remember to look for the blessings in everything we do. I love you all and am greatful for every day! I am greatful for my testimony of Christ. This is one of the most essential things to being eternal happiness. I love you!
