October 31, 2016

So this week has been interesting that is for sure. But instead of rambling I will get to it.

October 25 We visited a less active named M C with the newest ward missionary P and it was in Spanish so it was interesting but I felt I was able to better comprehend different things then I have in weeks past.

Spiritual: The gifts of the spirit are very real if you earnestly seek for them.

October 26 We had district meeting which had a role play that I was asked to play the investigator for the Hermana's which was interesting but they got upset that I ask too many questions apparently. On the way to dinner a guy stopped us and asked that we stop by his house a future day so that was interesting as well.

Spiritual: People enter our paths for a reason

October 27: we helped with a food bank called Rising up as personal shoppers for the homeless which was fun. In the evening we were able to give a blessing to a less active who was feeling really sick and she asked me to do the sealing so that truly was an experience to remember.

Spiritual: if we act with faith we can do all things

October 28: We had a very full day including service at the special Olympics, a lesson with B that he said his legal issues are resolved, and then more service before we had dinner and a lesson with our one baptism since I got here and his brother which was really good.

October 29: We contacted a referral and gave him a copy of the Bible but that was all he wanted so that was not so cool. Then we tried the guy who stopped us on Wednesday and he answered and told us that we were the first Mormons he had seen since moving to Fort Morgan a few months back and that he and his wife had taken the lessons 10 years back so that was really cool and they are both very interested in the church. 

Spiritual: People will always have a choice in life so we are only to give them council if they ask for it.

October 30: Church was really good it had the fifth Sunday lesson on employment so that will be useful in two years. We had a chance to talk with a less active named GJ which was great as well.

Spiritual: God cares about more than our spiritual well being but also our physical.

October 31: We have not done much but are locked up for the night because of the holiday so that is fun. We saw the newest investigators at Walmart which was great namely since they were happy to see us and we gave them the info we learned yesterday at church because he is unemployed.

Spiritual: God will bless us with what we need when we need it.

So that was the week.
