Crazy times happening in Joplin....where does one begin?
So we had this stellar worldwide missionary broadcast. Talked a lot of good stuff about teaching the gospel. Then they made changes to
our schedule. Nothing to drastic, we still get up at 6:30 and go to bed at 10:30
but the order of things are different and the missionary chooses more of what
they do with their time. it's kinda nice:)
On Thursday my companion got real sick again. so did a lot
of deep cleaning again and studies.
Friday we had our very first WARD GAME NIGHT! We played
volley ball and board/card games at the church. it's a missionary opportunity
so everyone invited to bring someone. But it was the first time so not a lot of
nonmembers were there but there were a lot of members there showing their
support! It was a success, we decided to do it 1 month until we see more
progression in it. it was fun:) my volleyball skills are improving!
So Saturday we saw some less active families in hopes of
helping them coming to church the next day. AND IT WORKED. 3 Less actives families came! (2 of which hasn't been in years)
you should have seen the look on bishops face! He was shocked, it was really
amazing. Since it was the 5th Sunday we focused on missionary work, and our ward
mission leader told us to bring 150 copies of the Book of Mormon. after running
around collecting all that we can from other missionaries, we finally made it
to 150 by Sunday. it was a great lesson got people really excited about
missionary work:)
We have this great investigating family. Mom and 2 girls, love them soo much! They were gonna come to church but they forgot to set their
alarm and slept in! (church starts at 8:30). I guess this Sunday we will be
giving them a wake up call! haha
Did exchanges on Wednesday.....we biked 11 miles. oooph! We
can do that here, because we have 60-70 degree weather:) haha it's beautiful!
In all honesty the big news going on right now is on
transfers.
Sister Bisch, my companion, left for home today for health
concerns. I am training again so I will get my new companion tomorrow! As of now I just hang out with Sister Pond again:)
Its been a really a chaotic week with getting things
collected with Sister Bisch and her going home. but I think it will be best for
her.
Well Ill tell you more about Joplin next week! Gonna be
finding more people to teach!
Love yall!
LIFE IS GOOD!
