I'm
glad to hear the chitlins are being good (ish) and having fun. That
home teaching appointment sounds like it was hilarious, and I'm proud of
Luke and Age for containing themselves.
This week was sweet. Elder Woestman and I sent our
children up to North Bend to be on exchanges with the Zone Leaders while
we worked down in Brookings. We had almost straight teaching
appointments the whole time. It was awesome.
Bro. Stonebreaker asked us many times to visit his
friend, Scott, who had been taught by missionaries before but was kind
of dropped, and we tried stopping by and calling but we never got a hold
of him. So on Thursday we tried again. The screen door was shut but
the door was wide open and there were lights on in the house so we
knocked. And we knocked. And knocked and knocked and knocked and
knocked and I wanted to leave but Elder Antig said we should knock more
and suddenly... some chihuahuas came and started barking at us, so we
knocked some more then we gave up and just before we walked around the
corner of the shed Elder Antig glanced back and saw Scott! So we went
and talked to him. He has a testimony of the Book of Mormon and he's
been taught all the lessons but he's still smoking so we asked if we
could set up a time to meet with him and he was like, how bout we just
talk about it at church? And we were like, yeah. So he came to church
and stayed all three hours and it was fantastic. Alvin came to church
too! He's the sweetest old man who absolutely loves us but seems
incapable of accepting the message of the Restoration. We keep working
on him though.
We had interviews with President Young this week and
he mentioned he would like to send Sisters to Brookings, whether he'll
add another set or just replace a set of Elders is up in the air, and it
probably won't happen for a little while, but we mentioned it to Bro.
Marks (our wml) and in Ward Council he got up and announced that Sisters
were coming and we needed to prepare for them (facepalm). That Ward
Council exploded with excitement. (I bet that never happens to your ward
council eh Dad? ;) We had to clarify the particulars but it was pretty
awesome.
Does Haymarket have multiple sets of missionaries? Do they have iPads?
TTFN!
Elder Georgia
