Hey everyone!
So, this week was pretty good. It was full of finding. A lot of it. But before we did finding, we had a couple of lessons.
We met with Ben and Cera who is a part member family. We were mostly just trying to get to know them, but we really are trying to get them back into reading scriptures as a family.
We also saw Nancy. We went to her house a week ago to meet her son, Ryan, who from what we've heard, sounds like he has a lot of potential. She's really sweet, and really enjoys us coming over.
We'll keep going over until we find Ryan.
During our finding, we were really wanting to go exactly where God wanted us to be. We really didn't have any idea of where to go, so we got in the car, and we said a prayer. Then, I picked up my GPS, and I accidentally touched the screen, and it put some random destination in. I looked at Sister Gill and asked, "Should we go?" So we did, and It. Was. Awesome. We drove over there, and the area looked a little sketchy, but then we saw a house that looked safe to go to, so we knocked on the door. A sweet girl somewhere in her teens answered the door, and she let us show her a little video about Christ. Then, her mom pulled up, and she was also very friendly. She knew a few members that were in the Kingsport Ward and said they were nice people, but she was going to stick with her religion, but then she asked us if we wanted some peonies, and she cut some off for us and gave us an extra one just to give away to someone else. It was so sweet! Then, before we left we asked if we could give them a restoration pamphlet, and they accepted it. The daughter instantly started flipping through it like crazy! It was so awesome! I don't know if I'll see the fruits of that, but I know something good will come of it.
After that we went over to try to see a less active member, but she wasn't there. Luckily her sweet aunt who is a member and lives right next to her was home, and she talked to us for a little bit, and she really cheered us up, and was able to tell us more about her niece. We gave her one of the flowers before we left, and then we went home to drop off the other flowers before our dinner appointment. We saw two ladies outside, and so we decided that instead of taking them inside, we'd give them to them. Then, one of the ladies asked if we knew anyone who could do some babysitting, so now we're hoping to help her find someone.
The next day we made some cookies and gave them to a lady who we helped move in earlier that week, and the lady who asked if we knew anyone who could babysit for her because she seemed a little stressed, and we just wanted to help a little bit. We don't know if anything we did will cause them to join the church, but it was still the best part of my week. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
That one time we all matched.
