Well this week was interesting. It was a tough one. Me and Elder Wiwchar (absolutely none of you are going to pronounce that right) have been working hard. It is so different to have a new missionary, he is a good elder and is excited to work, so that is what we are doing. It is pretty funny though, and honestly crazy how much I have noticed he follows my lead and does the things I do. I only hope that I can be a good example and help him learn.
It is kinda tough though, we are struggling to find people. We put in hours tracting this week and picked up only one really drunk guy who will probably go off on anti-mormon stuff as the typical. And we are struggling to visit with members. And lastly during ward council we needed approval for a book of mormon study class, literally that is all we needed. We had a flyer, a lesson time and date all set, and had a strategy to get people there, but we were told to wait a week with no explanation. Frustrating, but we are keeping out heads down and working. I know that there is a family here for us to teach.
We did have a cool miracle. It wasn't exactly us but we were affected by it. This week the spanish sisters were tracting in our area. And they tracted into this family from Africa. They said they were from our church and the man stopped and said he believes in Jesus Christ as well. He had moved here because he wasn't free to believe that where he is from. So they went in and had a testimony meeting basically with him and left him with a BOM and a restoration pamphlet. They are an incredibly poor family but we ended up getting the referral for the family. It was about the best news we had all week and we have an appointment with them tuesday. We are pretty excited about that.
But that has been our week. I know our savior blesses us. Regardless of the times we feel like nothing goes right, our savior is always there. He is blessing us and sometimes we need to just look for those blessings and keep moving forward. Love and miss you all!
