I don't know what it is, but warmed up here a ton in the
past week (4degC, 40degF). It's been beautiful :')
This week hasn't been the best for us working wise. Most of
our investigators have dropped us, and we're running out of numbers in the area
book, so we're pretty close to ground 0. We've just got to keep working at it!
The warmer weather has definitely opened more people up.
Sister Barch has arrived. She came down with the sister
training leaders, so with the 4 sisters here and the 2 of them, there were 6 in
the sisters' apartment that night! I'm sure it was a lot of fun for them.
Sister Barch seems like a great missionary so far, so she will be a great help
here.
Elder Prince and I were in charge of family night, and we
wanted to make it more interesting, so instead of a normal lesson, we made a
play out of it using the account of prophet Abinadi and wicked King Noah from
the Book of Mormon. It worked out pretty well, but in the end two investigators
got in a big argument, hurling some big Macedonia words at each other.
Prend, our newest member, spoke in church this Sunday and
invited his whole family. We had 47 in Sacrament, which destroyed our old
record because of all his family who attended. It was a miracle to see. These
members inspire me.
It's hard out here, but I've still been enjoying myself a
lot! We continue to see small miracles everyday, and how much the hand of God
is in this work. He his gracious to every one of his children, and has shown
that through his son, Jesus Christ. No matter what I do here, I will never be
able to repay him, but I'm going to try my best to.
