This
week!
Monday- We did our normal errands, and went and made fudge at a members. Best fudge ever!! I talked to my mission president, he is awesome! We had dinner at the Dows and had FHE at the Krugers. We all went around and shared our favorite scriptures and that is one of my favorite things to do!
Tuesday- Met with some less-actives and part member families. Also finally saw a recent convert John Taylor! We have been trying to see him for months. and sadly he is not doing too well and not interested in church at the time. So that was a bummer. But at least we finally saw him. We taught Krystal and her family the Restoration. They talked about church and how much they loved it! Super cool, Krystal said how she noticed a difference in the church. It was peaceful and she really liked it. Also that she has noticed a difference in her kids already. So cool. They are all praying for a baptismal date! YAY. Taught Wiliam a Recent Convert. He is so awesome. and that was the excitements for the day.
Wednesday- Rex and Adam, our Wednesday usual haha. Went and contacted a lot of part family members on our ward directory that we don't know and it now counts as finding time. So that was successful to at least see if they still lived there or not. Also for New Years Eve we went to the Gillets and played the best game ever, CATCH PHRASE! Soo fun. My team was awesome so we won of course haha. But that was fun. We still had to be home by 9:30 so we left and went home and just went to bed. But we set the alarm for 11:59 to get up and take a picture like "this is our New Years Eve" and it went off and I said Sister Lundberg it's 12:00.. and she said okay should we take the picture? and I said it's okay.. and we went right back to bed haha. Too tired.
Thursday- Planned in the morning which was needed! Saw Paul and Melissa which was good, and Frank. Went and saw some more Less actives and ended with Ramiro! Started our fast. :)
Friday- Fasted all day. longest time I have fasted. a full 24 hrs! But guess what? strengthened my testimony in fasting because holy cow, I was hardly hungry all day and I didn't get a headache. It was really cool. We also studied fasting and we both learned a lot. We had district meeting and that was great as usual. I got a blessing from my district leader as well. We had a lesson with Rafael which was awesome! We haven't been able to meet with him in a while so it was good to see him. We also met with Nicole! Taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I think it was good. We have return appointments with them so hopefully they will keep them and they will continue to progress because they are awesome people! Ended with a DQ run to eat at home, broke our fast and ate a blizzard. How fitting ha.
Saturday- Called my mission president and he talked with me. He is soo great and I just love him! I am blessed with a great mission president. We went to candler and went to see some more random less actives. We have just been going through our directory and seeing people who live around some of our appointments, and try to see them. Taught Krystal and her family the Plan of Salvation. The kids had learned that in primary last week so they knew a lot. They all loved it and are excited for church tomorrow. Also... They ALL are preparing for baptism on January 31st! Soo happy. They are great. Went and saw a less active family, the Maner's who I have heard a lot about but haven't met, so it was great to see them. They are a cute family and it was great meeting with them.
Sunday- Went to a Baptist church before our church. Such a fun experience ha. They had some singers and drums and people were standing up saying amen and hallelujah. It was great! But it was also a testimony builder because as much fun as it was to be there, it did not feel like church, Sister Lundberg and I both noticed we didn't feel the spirit and it was different. Krystals family didn't make it to church :( The youngest was sick.. I bore my testimony which was good. I have gotten a lot more brave about doing that haha. Had to teach the 17 and 18 year olds haha.. We all went around and shared out favorite scriptures and why and got to know all of them. They are great! I sat and listened to the Young Womens class. I just love being in there haha. It is always a great lesson. The rest of the day was not too exciting. We did go to the Hargadons and had dinner. They are a great family. I LOVE them. We also made some breakfast burritos. We went to see some MORE less actives.
This was a week full of seeing less actives because people were not wanting to see us haha. But it was good to see them and do some detective work to see if people still lived places.
Love you all more than you know, your support and prayers.
Sister Farmer
