DEAR EVERYONE
i love you all so so much i could hug you all right now i miss you!
ok so this week
the suckiest i have ever had for "numbers" (as in reporting lessons and such)
for
one reason or another this area has just come to a standstill it
seems!! its like we ran out of people to teach but just a few weeks ago
we couldnt handle all the work we were doing.. sooo thats annoying...
but
"no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing...the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent."
i got the flu shot on tuesday. almost passed out i was so scared but i did it and was obedient to the council of President manion :)
we walked like 1200 miles on tuesday hoping to street contact, but it was to cold and we talked to 2 uninterested people.
I
DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE ARENT INTERESTED IN THE TRUE CHURCH. IN THE THING
TAHT WOULD CHANGE THEM FOREVER. INT HE THING THAT IS CONSTANT IN ALL OF
THE CHAOS. I DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE CLOSE THEIR HEARTS. I DONT GET IT.
wednesday we went to lunch with sister bals and the elders investigator, L. it was an awkward but yummy lunch haha
we
taught T (the referal from C who initially hated us) with
sister giddey and it was alright. she doesnt want to INVESTIGATE but she
says she'll check out church one of these days and she took a book of
mormon. she is VERY QUICK to jump to negative conclusions and i just
hope she'll "not cast the seed away by unbelief."
saw the palskys for supper and they always make me feel better. i love them. on sunday
i saw sister warr and robin was there and we all hugged each other and
jumped around like we were back in highschool or something haha :)
thursday
it seemed that NOTHING happened EXCEPT MAHONRI came out to see us!!! it
was so nice to visit with him at lunch :) we went to boston Pizza and
it was GLORIOUS im not even gonna tell you how many pieces of pizza i
ate but it was divino
we had the branch halloween party that
we went to :) we dressed up as "baby sisters" in our onsie pjs :) i
thought we were cute :) P and C came with S so that was
soooo good :)
we had supper with C, a potential
investigator and her 2 darling children. she is prolly one of the nicest
people i have ever met and i love love love her kids.. she is engaged
to a south african! who knew i would meet so many africans!!
she
asked us to come back the next day and when we came back we met her
fiance, jan (pronounced yan) and he is like legit africaans his accents
is tooootally different than from what im used to but he was super nice
and friendly, and then her MOM showed up who ASKED for a book of mormon
cause she had missionaries in her home ages ago and loooove s them. we
were so excited. candice and her family are suuuuper involved in another
church right now tho and so were a lil anxious to inviting her to
INVESTIGATE but we'll continue to soften her up and talk alot about the
book of mormon.
we had a gong show lesson with C with
sister bals. we drove all the way out there and C had forgotten we
were coming and then when we finally got into the lesson she kept
bringing things up that we thought we had already resolved with her and
then she just disagreed with everything and sister bals was being
snippety back at her and it was just a night mare, i was really down
hearted about it because we were so hopeful for C.
we
had stake conference which was nice :) lots of spiritual insights. i
cant WAIT to be able to go to the temple more regularly. please take
advantage of that sacred place :)
all in all i think sister
boyd and i walked 52000000 miles this week and i am learning deeper and
more heartbreaking lessons than i ever have experience with life and
agency and the power to choose. In heaven i fought for that blessing of agency and i need to
fight to sustain it.
i love you all.
i love you so so so much
the gospel is real and glorious and tangible. TASTE IT
love sister douglas
