Saying goodbye to Pres. and Sis. Clark |
This awesome watch I got that says "No prob-llama" |
This week was kind of crazy, but then again, when is it not crazy when you're a missionary?
So
on Tuesday for the 4th of July we had to park our car and be with
members after 6pm. So the Ellsworths from Kerman came and picked us up
and we spent the evening with their family and the Kerman missionaries.
We didn't see any big fireworks, since Kerman does theirs on the 3rd,
but they did lots of little ones in the streets. They were all so sweet
to let the missionaries join them and it was a lot of fun! Sister
Ellsworth's dad is Brother Boyd, who's the ward mission leader in
Kerman, and he had some great stories about traveling the world meeting
people with the Rotory club. He also said that when he came to Kerman
the church was really small, but the first couple of years they baptized
almost 30 people a year! Such a fun day!
When we had to fix the tire pressure |
We
visited a less active family this week and at first it was really
awkward sitting there talking to them, but then we started sharing a
lesson on the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the wife
said that that was exactly what she needed to hear today. And that every
time she's facing trials in her life the missionaries always seem to
show up. We're going back next week to help her clean too ! (A lot of
people won't accept our offers to serve so that was exciting). I've
realized this week that God usually uses other people to answer prayers.
As a missionary it happens all the time, but I'd encourage you all this
week to think of a way you can serve someone else, and pray for who you
can help. You can answer someone's prayer too!
Friday
was our "mission tour", where President Mackay came around to each area
of the mission and met with us. They really focused on the Book of
Mormon, and using it to teach. We made a zone goal to have each
companionship give out 4 a day, or 250 total. It's been so much fun! We
literally just go up to people and ask them their favorite number 1-531
and share a scripture with them. Every single page of the Book of Mormon
testifies of Christ and can help people come closer to Him.
Our new president is so awesome and I'm super excited to get to know him more.

Have a fantastic week and don't forget to go to 7/11 tomorrow!!! (I'm still looking for one here in Madera)
