Fallout, Catching Fire and Standstill Baptism, Last Straws
This past week unfortunately ended up in being one of those where we
would have two to three lessons planned per day and all would
cancel... Not to mention that time just slipped through our fingers
like an laxative coated fish, if Ya know what I mean. But on the other
hand the lessons that we did have were very good and were pretty well
needed for future lessons.
So first off Monday night we were finally able to go see Daisy for the
first time in almost two weeks. We shared President Monsons talk "I
will not fail thee, nor forsake thee". She loved it and was really
able to connect to it. Since we haven't been seeing her we had to
reschedule her date for the 14th of March... But we haven't heard from
her since once again so it is really weird :/. Things will work out.
Most of the rest of our lessons for the week were with Jenn Himes and
we had some pretty cool experiences. Our first lesson with her, she was
still pretty under the weather and easy to keep in focus so we watched
the restoration movie. It went very well and it was really funny cause
while teaching her, Elder Litton got on facebook up in white hall, so we
taught her as a trio haha. It was really weird but in the end Jenn
said that she new it was all true which caught us off guard a bit,
though we were unable to figure out what she exactly meant, since we
were already late on time and had to get home... Plus things just got
distracting when we asked her how she knew it was true and then other
vicarious topics came up.
So next visit we tried to show her Uchtdorf's talk from this past
conference but Rita was there and we got no where due to
distractions.... And then finally on Saturday we had a really awesome
lesson haha. So we went over the Gospel of Jesus Christ using the tea
bag and fire to represent faith, if you remember that one. Well that
really helped keep her in tune for the rest of the lesson when at the
end we found out that she believed all that we have taught her!!!! But
she's afraid that if she gets baptized that it will be the finishing
move for her staunch catholic father, who is dying, if that makes any
sense....
So we have a baptism on our hands that is completely on hold for
reasons that are semi legit but yet also kinda not. We will have to
figure something out or just wait until the old man dies which sounds
really dark Ya know what I mean? Man it's hard cause I really wanna
see her and her family baptized.
Well the second to last thing in news that I had was that of
interviews. It was good to see president but afterwards I just felt
really confused since our conversation jumped everywhere from the
needs of the area to my new companion and then told me that I would
probably be training within the next few transfers so we kinda went
everywhere within the interview. Once he asked me if I had any
questions I don't know if I just forgot them or if I was to afraid to
ask but I said no and have once again delayed some things that I wanna
ask but I'm also just unsure where to go with those questions :/. Also
due to so many missionaries we only get about 15 minutes per
interview.
It was good though and he told me that he feels he has a special
relationship with me and the rest of the people in my group since we
are the smallest group in the mission and our start is kinda
rememberal, hahaha.
Well last in news is the last straw. The members who are antis once
again slandered the church and Ezra Taft Benson while we had
investigators so we are taking it to both bishop and President
Anderson since it's becoming to much of a problem.
