Man, this week was crazy! On Wednesday we had Specialized Training
down in Grants Pass. However, we had people from Salt Lake coming to
inspect our cars. Basically a BIG DEAL. On Tuesday we came in with
our zone to deep clean our cars. And as the elders were waxing our car
they said : "Sisters, did you know your tire was low?"
Us: " Oh yeah! We knew it was low, we were planning on filling it up
after this..."
Elders: "No sisters. It's really low. It's flat."
Us: "Seriously? On today of all days!"
So long story short, we had run over a NAIL ( of course, Sutherlin has
tons of them) and it made our tire flat. We spent the night with the
STL's and went with them to the meeting. The quote in the subject
heading is from Pres. Russell. He's the best! He was bribing us with
cookies to answer questions.
After the meeting, we got our tire fixed and on Thursday we had to drive to
Eugene to get the car inspected. We passed. 😂
We had a great week nonetheless! Even though we haven't found anyone
new, we have been busy everyday doing the work of the Lord! We were
able to meet with John. He is a new "investigator". He lives right
next to the reservoir, he is a referral from elders in our zone. The
second lesson we had, the member we brought got in an argument with
John about Joseph Smith being a prophet. Sigh. So we set up another
lesson for later that week, intending to drop John. We sat there in
the lesson, listening to him tell us that he will never change, that
we can't convince him of our religion being the true religion. As he
was speaking, the spirit just told us that we should not drop him. So
we gingerly taught him about prayer. During the lesson, he prayed.
Slowly but surely, he is changing. We just feed him bit by bit, and
what we teach him stays with him. He thinks about it. And slowly, his
ideas are changing. It's really cool.
We met with Ron too this week. He is starting to heal from the pain of
losing his wife. He is so cool. His birthday is this week, so we are
making a cake for him today as we are seeing him today for dinner and
tomorrow for a lesson! It's awesome!
Spiritually, so many things have happened this week. I can't even
explain it all. I feel like I don't have enough time to write down all
the miracles that happen. Just to sum up: Heavenly Father does answer
prayers. And while we go through trials that are hard, they make us
better. I know now more than ever that I will not return the same I
came out.
