Dear Family and Friends,
Well this week has been a week of
trial but a week of seeing how the lord is preparing our area. we have
been punted to much this week but what hurts the most is the fact that most of
our goals for this month are hiding from us and don't want to be taught.
they literally are dropping like flies and we just look at each other
with broken hearts that they think we are some sort of disease. if you don't
want to be taught just say so don't hide from us. it is hard to I2l too
and try to get new investigators because most people in our area are just so .
. . . . I don't know how to say but they just don't want to hear about
the gospel. it doesn't matter how many people we I2L we are still like a
disease walking the streets and they run and hide or when we stop talking about
their life and try to introduce the gospel they literally just walk away.
ah so hard.
We had splits on Tuesday and I got
to go to Orion. it is so quiet over there and they are so strict on the
rules it is ridiculous. I loved working with sister Empalmado and we
really related to each other and our feelings about our areas. we both
learned so much from each other. one thing she said is that some
missionaries are reapers and some are sewers and right now I definatly feel
like a sower. some of us are meant to prepare the area or investigators
for other missionaries who are meant to come in and reap and sometimes it is
hard because we put in the work and we want to taste the benefits.
Yesterday we went back to one of the
members referrals sister Krisann who is the daughter of president Samson.
it was one of her classmates and when we went to her the first time she
seem a little shocked and then we found out that she really didn't know much
about Jesus Christ and what he did even though she was catholic. sister Krisann
told us that she is going through some really hard times and yesterday we saw
how much this message was for her. we taught her lesson one and she asked
questions that helped her understand the role of Jesus Christ in her life and
then when she prayed at the end she opened up her heart and really talked with
god. she cried and told us that she really needs this. she wants to
try to come to church on Sunday and wants to come with Krisann ah it is so
important to have referrals from members who they know that need it because we
never know what is going on in peoples life. I am sad to think that I won't be
there next time to see her progress but I know that she is one of those being
prepared. as we took a tricycle to another area I thought "why does
this have to happen? why do i have to get transferred when things are
starting to pick up again and we are getting people are truly prepared?"
I don't know but he knows and maybe there is another person who can
better help these people than I can.
OH MY GOODNESS!! funniest
story. so we went to Wawa on Saturday and we were going to teach Monico
Perez, princesses dad who was given a BGD this week about the word of wisdom.
well ........guess what he was doing when we got there......yep drinking.
(you can take this out as you please mom) one of my dreams is to see
someone drunk without having to be around them for too long and to see all the
stupid things they do and say and I got to see that. he came out of his
house and was super friendly almost like he was gay. he tried to feed us
but we told him later we had appointments as we continued talking I saw a
tattoo on his left breast that said "I love u olive" his wife. I
asked him what that was and then he said that that was his wife and he loved
her. then he flexed and said and "I love this, and this" and
pointed to his balls. oh man I died laughing. this guy was ridiculously
funny and he totally thought he was so ripped but he has this giant rice belly.
then he started to tell us that we were beautiful and that he loved us.
his wife then told him he needs to take a nap and we would come back later.
oh my goodness so funny. I thought dad would get a kick out of
that.
so needless to say we didn't teach
him the word of wisdom so hopefully on Tuesday we will teach him that.
our investigators that we still have are doing alright. we are
trying to help them progress and see how great this is for their families.
I know that this gospel is the way to happiness and to know why we are
here and what our goal is here on this earth makes the enduring to the end so
worth it. I hope to help these people see that and see the effect it has
had in my life. I know this gospel is true.
Thank you all for your support and
love. I hope you all have a great week.
Love Sister Snow
