This week was crazy, but great! Sister Terry and I called all of the auxiliaries of the Frisco 3rd ward letting them know that we had been double transferred in replacing the Elders and set up appointments to meet with all of them and with the investigators when on Thursday we got a call that Frisco 3rd was being given back to the Elders! Right when we started to get excited about it, it is taken back! Apparently the bishop, ward mission leader and stake president called the mission president and told him that The Colony needed its own set of missionaries because we have more work here than any other ward in the stake. We think that maybe the Lord was testing us to see if Sister Terry and I would be willing to take on another ward when He actually didn't want us to, who knows!
We have seen many miracles this week! We tracted into Josh about two weeks ago and taught the restoration while he was going outside his house for a smoke. We met with him again Tuesday and taught about the Book of Mormon. His whole countenance had changed between the two meetings. He had read the intro to the Book of Mormon and was super interested in learning more! We visited him at his work (The Colony Donut) on Friday and he insisted on buying us donuts! We shared a scripture with him and he wrote it down so he could study it later. He has been reading a chapter of the Book of Mormon a day. It will be interesting to see how the word of wisdom lesson goes with him.
Sister Rebecca Jones is still looking forward to her baptismal date, but she had another family member die yesterday which will make three in one month! She is definitely being hit hard by the adversary right now!
Daniel is still taking time off for discovery and finding answers, we hope he reaches out to us soon! =/
Some of our other investigators are also going through rough patches.
We got a call from a woman who found a pass-a-long card tucked into a book with our phone number on it. She called us wanting to go to church and learn more about family history! This was a miracle especially since right now our transfer focus is on church and family history invites!
Our progress record from this week overflowed onto another page! We are so blessed in the Colony with all of the people we are privileged to work with!
On Valentines day I took Sister Terry out on a companion date to get Chinese food. =)
Hope y'all had a great valentines day and a great mid-winter break!
Love,
Sister Jones
