Nearly 6 Months Of Quarantine

Hey what's going on everyone? Hope you've all had a good week. These past 2 weeks have been quite solid we've been quite busy and have had so many opportunities to serve and this coming week will be so busy. It's also the last week of the transfer too! 

One cool thing we did this week was help out a lady get her day center moving a long. She has been juggling work, money, divorce, the day center, and to top it all off covid-19. She has a lot on her plate and was so happy for us to come help. She was planning to sell her mini bus but the battery was shot so we needed to find jumper cables to kickstart it. Elder Campbell and I went all along the street stopping by local auto garages to find some cables to borrow. Thankfully we were able to find some and get the bus up and running. We are planning to help her out this week as well. We also will start to send her some conf. talks to read and listen to. We might start bridging the gospel soon too.

Our friends have been doing good as well we are excited to teach them. We have 5 people we are teaching and a few less actives so it keeps us busy with service on top of that. Prayers for Mary would be much appreciated as well we are hoping she will be able to prepare herself for baptism in due time. 

Not sure I mentioned this last time but we have a few new friends as well. Corrie and Jon both solid people! Jon is a super good older guy who's really posh. He owns his own trailer park and has a lot of land. Jon met the missionaries in Thailand around christmas time and was invited to a christmas party and absolutely loved it. When he came back to England the missionaries there passed his number along. I guess over the years he never really had been taught just visited by the missionaries. Jon is a christian who is floating around at the moment looking for belonging and a church. We gave him a Come Follow Me and he was super excited to meet with us. He actually wanted us to come and meet him in person which was so fun. Excited for Jon we will meet with him again this week so I'll keep you posted. 

Spiritual thought: 

Elder Marvi J. Ashton "Straightway" -April 1983 

"To take that first step may require great courage, but somehow possibilities and potential strengths begin to appear once the decision to act positively is made. Unsuspected courage and strength will be given to those who start forward in the right decision."

 

As we want to change or plan do to something we must act straightway. I find it hard to do this sometimes and I put off things til the last minute plenty of times, but as we are diligent in our ways, faith, and goals unexpected blessing will happen and your joy will be more full. 

Thank you all for the support and prayers I hope you all have a great week and good luck to all those going back to school. Definitely a weird time for us all.
