Hello family and friends! How is everyone? Things are good here in Bigfork, the work is just a little slow unfortunately. everyone is so spread out and tracting as not been very effective yet. BUT we are keeping good attitudes and working our hardest!
We had 9 less-active lessons this week which is good! Several of them were with Tim, who is 76 and was baptized a little over a year ago. apparently he thought church was Tuesday and showed up to church three times waiting for someone to unlock it! Poor guy. He lost track o the days. But what is cool about that, is he went! His health has been pretty bad and it has been getting him down a bit. So we promised him that if he made it to church, his health would improve. even though he went to church on a Tuesday, he was in the best health this week! He was able to do more than he usually could, which he acknowledged and was happy about :) I love seeing him and visiting him. We had dinner with elder Stanfill of the Quorum of the 70 Tuesday night! That was a little intimidating, but it was cool to teach a general authority!
Wednesday we were sore. All of our appointments fell through, so we thought we would kill time and save miles by walking to dinner...10 miles later, we arrived only 1 minute late! :D It was about 40 degrees out and great exercise. Actually enjoyed it.
Thursday we had District meeting. This was the second one I've ran and the Zone Leaders called me later that evening to tell me that i was one of the most inspired District meetings they had attended, and they used the lesson I prepared, in 2 of their discussions later that day. So that made m feel really good! There were some members of my District struggling a bit, who came up to me and said it was exactly what they needed to hear. I'm not saying this out of praise for myself, it was just a well needed compliment that gave me some confidence :) Also got my identity stolen Thursday...someone in Texas decided to buy $800 worth of video games with my personal account. So that was fun, $-84.26 later. Luckily they are refunding it all. Those better be the best video games he's ever played chump!
Friday we went in to Kalispell to get a new Debit card, and visited a member our ward in the hospital. Her name is Sister Allen, and if you could pray for her health, that would be much appreciated! Later that day we taught Tim again, the Plan of Salvation. To protect his privacy, I won't give details, but Tim never had the opportunity to have a family. His whole life he has lived alone. We promised him...that if he remains righteous in this life, that he can have an eternal family in the Celestial Kingdom because of the Resurrection. I don't think I've ever seen someone so relived and receive a new sense of hope, as did Tim. The Plan of salvation truly is an amazing thing!
Saturday we tracted (knocked doors), for a few hours in the snow. We had some fun with that x) For those of you who don't know, tracting can be really discouraging and boring. But t is definitely what you make it. We laughed the whole time. some people are just strange. One lady asked f we were Jehovah's witnesses. "Nope, we're Latter-day Saints!" we replied. "I'm going to close the door now..." is what she said hahahah. Another lady had the worse excuse i've ever heard. "sorry, i got things in the microwave!" And closes the door! The microwave will beep ad turn off lady! Haha at least blame the oven or something!
Sunday was the Primary program, and we got to substitute for Brother McCann! So we were in Primary for a day :) Good times. Yesterday we went to Glacier National Park with the Zone! It is GORGEOUS. Unfortunately, most of it is snowed in, so we couldn't go very far. But we got to see a waterfall, the lake, and a lot of pretty scenery. Loved i! And I got to use my Electric charged boots (which were BEYOND warm), my fleece facemask (I looked like Bane from Batman), and my gloves. Loved it!
Well I hope you all have a great week! Share the gospel with as many people you can. "Regarding one's testimony, remember that one who willingly shares his testimony will keep it...one who selfishly keeps his testimony, will lose it." -Thomas S. Monson (The Prophet of God.) Love ya!
