Wowza it feels like I just wrote everyone! This week was a week of learning! On Friday we had a
This weekend in Martinsville was a carnival! We took that opportunity to go find some new people and to show people that we are normal. Many people think we are crazy to do what we do, so to show our faces here was good for us. Elder Redmond and I found hats that had a big CLEVELAND on it. Haha our mission president is President Cleveland. Transfer meeting is in two weeks we will wear our new Cleveland hat in support of our president.
We had a zone meeting on Friday. The theme was Halloween, so we could dress up. But we didn't get the memo so we didn't dress up. Haha oh well! I gave a training on patience. Afterward I went on exchanges with Elder Powers. He has been out for 20 months. He taught me how important the Preach My Gospel is. That day we walked around the little town talking with people, then transition into the gospel by using a "how to begin teaching" method. We were able to transition smoothly into each lesson. I have set it a goal to study my PMG more often. The morning study hours we have are a huge help on the mission. That is valuable time to study and wax strong in the knowledge of the gospel.
This week my ponderize scripture is D&C 88:63 "Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." This promise is true. I have found the more I seek for the Lords guidance, the more I am given.
On Saturday we went over to a ladies house for dinner. She has three kids. The youngest one is named Wesly, he is the one in the pic I sent. We are best friends haha. We like their family, but they aren't the cleanest people. When we arrived and the first thing I noticed was how many animals they had. I swear atleast 7 cats! The cats live in the bathroom ha. They have one of those fly tape catchers hanging from the ceiling above the stove, and it was covered in flies! Their chickens they have live outside thankfully. She fixed us chicken with macaroni and corn. I am almost positive we ate one of her chickens that they have raised. What an experience! I was praying that I wouldn't get too sick haha. We were very appreciative for the food the gave us. Lucky for us they have signed up to feed us every Saturday this month...
