Whats up everybody?
This week was a great week as usual! we
had a lot of fun helping everyone we could in our area in the rain! it has
rained everyday for the past like 6 days, and our area suffers from being in a
flood zone. so we have been doing a lot of service around the area. it has been
fun!
We have a sister in our ward who is pretty old, and she
lives by herself and three of her grandchildren. the rain has really been
punishing her this week, so basically whenever it starts to rain we just go as
fast as we can to her house and a couple other members houses to help them
out.
we got to the woman's house one day right as it started to
rain and she was outside trying to build a wall in front of her house to keep
the water from pooling in the dirt in front of her house, so i took the hammer
and nails from her and stood outside getting beat by the rain building a wall
for her. IT WAS SO FUN! hahah she was saying oh, oh, elder Ben the rain is
beating you.. hahaha
And then the next day it started to rain hard again, so my
companion and i went back and got beat by the rain again to move her big oven
out of the rain and under the roof. we were soaked haha one woman came up to us
and said, "wow, you guys really showed love today, i am going to join your
church because of this!" i was pretty shocked, but pray that she actually
starts coming to church!
Agnes got baptized yesterday!! she was super scared to get
into the water, but everything worked out fine! i am super happy for her. we
were also supposed to have another person get baptized yesterday, but she still
needs some help with some stuff before we can baptize her.
Also the family we used to teach that we had to give to the
other ward got baptized yesterday as well! i was able to do their interviews on
Saturday and it was so fun to see all of them again!
this week was just busy as usual. we always had something to
do and we had a lot of fun! we had zone conference this Friday, and we talked
about how we can do better with working with members. we also wont be having
district meetings anymore haha kind of weird but i trust that president snow is
an inspired man. i am super sad to see him go next week. it should be fun to
meet our new president, president Simpson! everything is going to change again!
haha
I love being a missionary, even tho sometimes i just feel
overwhelmed and helpless. i have learned so much, and it is just a testimony to
me of how much our Heavenly Father loves us. i have loved being a
representative of his son Jesus Christ and serving His children.
I hope you all have an amazing week! I
love elder ben
