This week was a bit difficult. Nothing too crazy happened like last week, but almost all of our investigators dropped us. We went from 7 people on date to 1 person.
That's the bad news out of the way. On the good news portion of this weeks email, there was an awesome ward BBQ that we went to and brought a couple people. One was Sister Sirrine, nicknamed Beanie. She's a less active member that we are literally about to reactivate. She came to the BBQ and she loved it. She said she was going to try her hardest to get to church (at 8:30 in the morning), but she had to go to Tri-Cities an hour away, and she didn’t get back home at 3 in the morning. She wasn't able to make it this week, but she's coming next week.
I'm also the designated driver now, Elder Christiansen really doesn't like driving because of some PTSD thing or something like that. I love driving, and if you know me or my driving style, I'm what I like to call a cautious reckless driver.
After the issues we had with our investigators dropping like flies, I’m trying my best to follow the council in D&C 121: 7-9 this week. It reads, ”My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment;
And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes.
Thy friends do stand by thee, and they shall hail thee again with warm hearts and friendly hands."
We are taking that advise to our investigators as well. Satan ain't putting us down, we'll just find new people to teach.
Thank you for the support and prayers. The Gospel is true.
