Week 85 - The Gospel is True!


Hi Everyone! 

Here's what happened this week.

Friday, Judy texted us and told us that she'd have to put our meetings on hold for a couple weeks because she's having trouble with severe pain in her leg. She's got a lot of appointments the next few weeks, so she wants to focus on that. Hopefully we can get with her down the road. Today we also went on exchanges with the Halifax Elders. I got to be with my MTC buddy Elder DeBry. We had a great time finding together! We also taught our investigator Larry. He's a good guy, but we have to teach him very slowly to make sure he gets it. 

Saturday we spent the morning and afternoon knocking on some doors. We didn't find anyone, but we had a lot of fun and talked to some nice people. Later on, we had a ward games night. There were a few non-members there that we got to talk to, and  I played Apples to Apples with some other members. It was a good time, and I think the non-members enjoyed the experience.

Sunday we had church and Larry came! He enjoyed church, and he  only feel asleep once! We went finding for the rest of the day, since we had a couple of lessons with potential investigators fall through. Although we weren't able to find any new investigators this week, we'll get some next week!

Monday we again spent a lot of time finding. We knocked into an older couple, and the wife seemed super interested, but the husband didn't want us to come back until next month. We'll definitely drop by then because the wife seemed solid. It was a pretty good day.

Today, we got an all-day P-day, so we went over to Dartmouth and played almost 5 hours of basketball on the new court at the Dartmouth chapel. It was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice!!!! I loved it! Also, this morning I read the conference talk by Lynn G. Robbins "Until 70 times 7" and it may be one of my favorite talks ever. You all should listen to it or read it. It taught me that failure is an inevitable part of life. What we can control is how we react to the failure. If we react correctly, then we are progressing towards perfection through Jesus Christ.

This gospel is so true! Hope you've all had a good week! Love you all!
