Hey Fam,
What do you get when you cross a kleptomaniac and a mormon?
A: A basement full of stolen food!
Well, This week went really well!!
First off, I found this emerald and hunter green suit at good will for 8 bucks so that is always a plus... next, We had 3 investigators at church plus the Sterchak family!! We made sure that the ward knew they were coming so that they wouldn’t just think they were a visiting family for the week and the ward did really great at fellow shipping and helping them to feel welcome!
Another part member family that we started working with was able to make it to church again along with Chet, and Chet is progressing super well towards his baptism for the 18th. He has stayed strong since we gave him that blessing a few weeks back.
Other good things that happened this past week were that we met with that young family that we met last week and had a really great lesson with them!! The cool things that I have seen on my mission with different things is that before we knock on someone’s door or come into contact with them they have usually had some kind of experience that has led them to be looking for God in their life, a church for their family, or just wanting to get more out of their life. This young family is no different, they just recently had a baby and had been talking about how they needed to find a church in which to have their child grow up in. About a month or so after they had started talking about that we got the wife’s records that said she had moved into the ward and felt we should try them out and it was perfect timing! We could tell that she really loved the church and wanted it but was not wanting to force her husband into joining or anything like that so when he said that he wants to learn more and have us come back she was super happy. I am pretty excited about teaching them, they have a lot of good potential.
I had another really cool exchange with some Elders in the zone and once again when we went finding for the short amount of time that we had available, we were able to have some really cool experiences and pick up another couple promising potentials. Good experiences for the newer missionary that was able to help him see finding in missionary work in a different light.
One weird quote from the week was from a lady asking us a question and it was "can I give birth to my baby in one of your mormon temple pools?" Yeah I was stumped on that one... haven’t been asked that before!!
Anyways, that is all for this week!! I just realized that I have less than 5 months left before I go home... well I’ll try not to think about that one again for another couple months hopefully and make the most of the time that I have left. We are truly blessed when we are diligent and don’t give up when times get tough! I have gained a real testimony of that through out my mission.
Read your scriptures and say some prayers!!
Until next week,
Elder Frandsen
