Let’s start with the bad. Exchanges were this week and our District Leader, Elder MacLennen came to Trumbull with me. We had a lot of fun and I think he is such an awesome Elder. Anyway, we knocked on this door and a lady there was incredibly rude. She told us to “get lost” along with more “hot sauce” words. It was hard to take but… Life goes on.
Next, we went to stop by a woman in the ward who was baptized 25 years ago and has never been to church. She talked to us for a minute and said, “my husband is on his way home and he hates Mormons. I’ll tell you when I see his car and you can make a quick getaway”. We didn’t think too much of it until he pulled in the driveway, jumped out of his minivan and started screaming at us. “Get the Hell out and don’t ever come back!” Once would have gotten the point across but he seemed to think it necessary to repeat these spiteful words until our car was far enough away that the only thing I could hear was my heart about to pound its way out of my chest.
On a lighter note, Things seem to have taken a turn for the better for our friend, Emily. She bore her testimony last Sunday about how badly she wants to get baptized and even though she can’t right now, she knows that someday she will be able to. It was very powerful. We fasted for her yesterday and when her mom came to pick her up from church, we got to talk to her for a few minutes. She was very friendly and invited us to dinner this week. Hopefully this will help with her situation! Please pray for her!
Yesterday I taught Gospel Principles and Prayer. It went really well and I actually enjoyed teaching. More of the same old same old again. We didn’t get to teach Kim this week and she didn’t come to church which was hard but hopefully we will get with her soon.
I hope you are all doing well and most of those letters I promised will be going out today so be sure to check your mail boxes! I love all of you and thank you for your love and support!
