Even though this isn't the most impressive Holiday.. not sure if
Canadians really celebrate it.. it is a good time! How is everyone doing? I
can't even begin to tell you how much nicer it is now that the weather is
warmer.. yes, still cold to you, but right now things are good! This week was a
good one for sure. We have been working what seems to be tirelessly to find
people to teach, and this week we have finally had some lessons to teach to
some who are searching for truth. I will start with our pal Mark. He is
basically at this point just looking to figure out what is different between
our church and his church, everything we have taught so far seems to be totally
agreeable, mostly because it is all true. This last week we taught him more of
the Restoration, but at the beginning it is very common to most of the other
real Christian churches, that is if you follow the actual teachings of Christ.
His church, which is not really a mainstream church, has a lot of great New
Testament points in their church formation and beliefs, not nearly as strayed
as others. That brings us one big dilemma.. he loves the bible. We will climb
that mountain though.
Okay so we also saw Michael. He is such a good man. We sat down with him and
his mate Leslie. They both have really strayed from the knowledge that God
loves them and cares for them, due to circumstances in their lives. I could say
one of the most rewarding things that we can do as missionaries though is to
bear testimony that quite simply God loves them, He is very aware of them, and
that we have a Savior who knows them perfectly. I think even if someone doesn't
really believe that to begin with, they want to! It just sounds good! We will
get there I tell ya.
Hmm. Okay so Joan, a different new investigator. Well
technically an investigator. Taught her this week and it went well! We have
been talking to her for quite some time and just recently we have been
beginning to teach her. Staunch Catholic.. that is okay though, everyone can
repent J. So we have just been doing the same type of thing.. talking
about the Restoration, this and that, hopefully she will be praying and will
get that answer though! I say hopefully because that is what it takes with
anyone and everyone. The way to revelation is always the same.. kinda nice!
Taught Amanda this week, not sure if I mentioned her or not! We
taught her 2x actually.. both were at the church, which is something definitely
that makes things special! I would say she is definitely searching this time
compared to others.. she has been in contact with the missionaries since '03.
We got talking and she brought out some great concerns, things we were able to
address, all things seem to be hunky dory now. We just need to get these people
on a baptismal date!
Did some real good service for this big women's organization
this week. This area just doesn't seem to have a lot of opportunities for
service.. people who will be out serving rather than be served. We are working
on it though! Good to be out there though with people and just helping out.
There are all sorts of just good people I tell you.
We are still
searching for something fun to do! I think we will have to wait for the snow to
melt though! All in all life is good! Sorry I am not more exciting for you this
week! Stay sweet!
Love, Elder McFall
