So this week was kinda rough, we had appointments fall out everyday, about 15 total this week, and we had 3 people drop us. Saturday we were both kinda frustrated that especially that day had been bad.
So Monday we had an appointment with a lady named Susanah, she ended up dropping us on Saturday.
Tuesday was really pretty good. We went walking around on what we call "the Mesa" that is where a lot of the members live and the population is a little more condensed. We met a family who we are going to start teaching this week, they are pretty cool.
Wednesday all of our appointments but dinner fell through. We decided to go by on Martin, the one who has lung cancer. They put him on hospice and we weren't able to see him, it makes me sad that we couldn't do more for him. We had another referral who we stopped by on, she was out of town but her husband sat there and talked to us about how white people are rude to Indians and lots of other things.
Thursday was good, we went to this dome house across the street from us and they let us take a tour, its pretty cool. He built it himself. He isn't religious at all but he drives her to church every week and reads while she is in there. She was willing to listen to our message until she found out we do the same thing as the Elders.. then we left, but we had to go to dinner anyways. Super nice people though.
On Friday we went to the Bishops house and did some service we made some cute ghosts. That night we taught Bruce the Plan of Salvation, that went pretty well. We also met with a less active and taught her the Restoration.
Saturday, like I said was kind of rough, we had several appointments fall out and after all of the fallen out appointments we still had a couple in place. We had dinner with the Trammells and they had invited over their Realtor and we taught her. The Trammels are awesome and the cutest old couple I have ever seen. We were teaching Betty, their friend and the spirit was amazing. Sister Davis and I made it a goal this week to really invite the spirit as we teach, so we were really excited.
So this is where the real blessings came this week. When Susanah called and dropped us, I was devastated and done. As we taught Betty though I just fell in love with her, she is the coolest lady and so ready. She accepted the invitation for Baptism and is on date for Nov. 9th. The Lord really has been preparing her. She is really excited about this and the Trammels are excellent examples for her. That made this week worth it. We had a rough lesson after that with Nel, she asks a lot of questions that go into deep doctrine. It is hard to know how we can teach her when she really just wants her questions answered. Anyways, I don't have a lot of time left but I love you all. I hope all is well.
Love,
Sister Kellee Gardner
