Another Week in Kalkaska

Hey Everyone!!!

Well another week has gone by in Kalkaska, not too much has changed here. I got to go on splits this week and I got to go to another area. It was so nice to get out of Kalkaska. That was the first time that I got to leave Kalkaska for a day for two and half months. It was kind of fun, I felt like I was on vacation.  I didn't have any worries. We got to teach a Scatter dude that was so funny.

Wednesday we got to go to our district missionary fireside and our branch leaders were there. It was kind of crazy because the district leaders chastised the members for not doing their part.  They haven't been doing really anything to help us.  He chastised us for not using the members. It kind of woke everyone up.

Last week we had a first Correlation with other members from the branch leaders. We got to talk a lot about the less actives in the branch. Oh then yesterday it was also crazy. One of the members got up in Priesthood opening exercise and got mad at the branch because we weren't getting fed and went and asked every member to feed us. So now we have a meal almost every day this week so I am excited.

It was kind of sad this week we had to drop one of our investigators because he got into a lot of anti-Mormon literature and couldn't get past it. You can see how hard Satan is working as well.

Well it is the last week of the transfer and will be getting transfer calls on Friday so we will have to see what that brings. Well Love you all and miss you all.

Mission Training

Hey Everyone!

Well another week has gone by. This week was awesome!!! Elder Gregory A. Schwitzer of the 70 came to are mission last Tuesday and gave some training. He talked about the 7 foundations of the Gospel that we need to know and what our investigators need to know. It was great!! Then we had about half an hour to ask him questions about Gospel topic and I couldn't believe how well he knows the scriptures.  

On Tuesday I got to go on splits with my district leader and that was fun. His name is Elder Bullered and his is way funny. He goes home in about two weeks and he does not want to go home.

We got a new branch mission leader.  It is crazy that he is actually leaving to go on his mission in November. He is a lot more prepared to go on a mission than I was that is for sure. Ha-ha. It is great.

We had one of our new investigators come to church yesterday and it was awesome. We went back up to Elk Rapids this week to do some finding and it is so pretty there. It is hard to get the motivation to do finding. I just want to watch the boats. J You Guys should Google it to see what it looks like. Well Love you all.

Love,

Power of the Spirit

Hey Everyone!

Good morning!!!! Well I had another good week! So this week we had a lot of success.  On Monday we had an awesome lesson with one of our investigators named Kenny. He is so funny, he makes me laugh. We went over the restoration a little more with him and then we went back over with him on Friday and had a 2 and half hour lesson with him. It was kind of crazy because he got on to an Anti-Mormon view point and asked a lot of questions. I can say that the spirit was very strong with us because I don't think that I could answer those questions again.

Oh we found a new investigator this week named Pat. It is cool how we found him. So a couple weeks back at our building open house we had a lady come that said we could come see her and teach her. So about a week and half ago we went over to where we thought she lived but we weren't positive so we asked a guy out in front of the complex.  We asked him if he knew Margie and he said yes and told us where she lived. He asked us if we were Mormons and we said yes.  He told us that he was a Mormon but he couldn't quit smoking. We set up an apt with him for Wednesday. On Wednesday we found out that he met with missionaries a long time ago and almost got baptized but couldn't quit smoking. It is kind of sad because he is an older guy and he said that he has really bad Cancer and the Doctor only gave him 3 months to live. It is way sad but he really wants to learn more so we are going to go back over this week.  

Margaret is still doing awesome and coming to church, right now she is praying about either moving out of her boyfriend’s house or to ask him about getting married. So we just have been praying for her like crazy haha.

Oh this week we went down to a Meeting with our District president (so our stake president but we are a district here) about Missionary work and working with members. All of our branch councils were there and it was amazing. He really got on to all of the members about being member missionaries. Oh I almost forgot!! So tomorrow we are having a meeting with our whole mission and a member of the 70 is coming. Sorry I don't remember what his name is but I am way excited about that. Well I better be going, I am going roller skating. Love you all.

Happy Labor Day!

Hey Everyone!

Happy Labor Day!!! Well this last week went by really fast. I can't believe that it is Monday again!! We were pretty busy and had lots of success this week. We picked up a way sweet investigator this past week named Kenny. Kenny is 24 and just got back from Iraq a couple of months ago.  He is really interested in different religions. We actually met with him three times last week and we are going to go meet with him again in about an hour. One of the lessons we had with him was two and half hours of him just mostly asking questions. He was going to go to church yesterday but was going to his brother birthday party instead.

We started teaching a Jehovah Witness this week too. Man every Jehovah Witness I have ran into have always asked me what God’s real name is and why we don't call him by his real name. It is so funny that they get so caught up with that.  They miss the bigger picture. Sadie is her name and she is awesome!! She just makes me laugh.

So I hit my year mark on Friday and we had a party at a less actives house that is awesome!!!! She doesn't believe in God but she loves the missionaries and feeds us quite often. We had root beer floats and we played a little golf in her backyard.

On Saturday we went door knocking at one of the lakes here and man nobody wants to talk when it is a holiday weekend!  I kind of don't blame them though. If I were them I probably would do the same thing ha ha. Well till next week. I love you all!!!!!

Love,
