It’s been a sweet week. We volunteer
at the local food bank every Tuesday, so we did that this week. It’s been
pretty fun. We basically just help people take the food to their cars. I got to
talking to the Catholic Priest that was also volunteering. He gives the Spanish
sermons too, so we basically talked about learning Spanish. It’s a fun deal.
This week we've been continuing our
efforts to pump up the Spanish group. Unfortunately we didn't get a turn out to
our volley ball activity, or sacrament meeting. We will keep trying.
We had an exchange this Thursday,
after a zone meeting. I went with one of our ZL's Elder Decker and we stayed in
Chelan. We got a lot of work done it was awesome. We had just had training on
talking to everyone, and so that's what we did. We were able to see a lot of
good potentials and a new investigator come from it. One guy we talked to gave
us some peaches from his tree and we ate them while we talked to him. The
peaches are SOOO good. It’s awesome to be able to get them from anyone's tree.
The Fournier's are doing well, just
keep praying for them. We got to go by and teach them this week. We're hoping
all will continue to go well.
Yesterday we went to talk to Martin,
we were sitting with him out on a bench in the middle of some apple orchards.
We were teaching him the first lesson and he brought up some concerns about
apostles and stuff, and also about the gift of tongues. His friend Eleazar came
out and sat by us. We talked through the gift of tongues thing with him. Right
there in Acts 2 it says everyone understood the apostles in their native
language. They weren't babbling. They accepted it and then we had to get going
so we said a prayer with them. His friend Eleazar said he really liked our
discussion and he was going to ponder about it. So hopefully we'll see some
more good stuff from them.
We got transfer calls! Good news I
am staying and so is Elder Berg, so I'll be here til the end! Elder Judd got
called as a ZL. My boy's doing good! And his trainee, my grandson Elder Sanchez
is getting transferred into my district. So it’s going to be a fun last
transfer. Still haven't heard what’s happening with Elder Dowuona Hammond, I
hear he's doing really good though!
Have a great week!
