This week, we got our new i-pads! On Tuesday,
we had a meeting with President and Sister Craven and the rest of the mission
leadership council (so zone leaders, sister training leaders and the
assistants) and that was where we got our new i-pads and set them up.
Then on Friday, us and the zone leaders got to help all the members of
our zone get their new i-pads and set them up. It was pretty crazy! Also this week, Molly (recent convert) went
out with us to a teaching appointment that canceled. So we went to our
backup and they were not home either. So we were about to leave when they
pulled up! We were able to talk with them about the Book of Mormon and
help them see how the Book of Mormon will really bless them! :)
We went on two exchanges this week. I
went to University City with Sister Knudsen and we had a lot of fun teaching
some great investigators there! And since the two sets of University City
Elders live in the same apt complex, we all met up to play soccer for morning exercises!
It was actually raining the whole time but that just made it more amusing
because the elders kept slipping. Later in the week, Sister Collier (from
Hawaii!) came here with me while Sister Nielsen went to Albemarle.
Also, funny moment of the week: so we were
teaching an older black man and were talking about the word pillar (ie Lehi
sees a pillar of fire in 1 NE 1) and he just looked soo confused! After a
minute of trying to figure it out, he points to a pillow and says, "so why
do they call these pillars?" :)
On Sunday, we looked at our goals for the week
and realized we had not reached our goal of 5 new investigators yet. So
we went out and God really blessed us with 5 new investigators! I am most
excited about Ledo and Dulce. We went to try a potential (who no longer
lives there apparently) and instead found an older woman and her granddaughter. Dulce does not speak any English so Ledo was
translating for us and it was amazing! The spirit was so strong and both
of them had a great desire to read the Book of Mormon and be baptized! :)
So in spite of the whole we-had-to-get-up-an-hour-early thing, we had a
fantastic day and were really blessed by God!
I hope y’all have an equally blessed day and
week!
I love you!
Sister Morris
