So this week has been a good, but long week! it
started off really well and we had some great success. then in the
middle of the week it slowed down and i think it picked back up again! I
dont really want to admit it but i think i let myself fall into the
hump day slump haha! i have caught my self though and realize that the
work isnt as fun or easy in that matter if things are going slow at the
apartment! it has been hard to wake up and excersize when no one is
pushing you and they want to sleep all the time. i need a work out
partner to be pushed. and because of that i feel that my studies havent
been what they use to be but i am working hard and bringing them back to
what they were and even better! so i will get out of this slump and
have the joy once again!
So yesterday we had a good experience
and an experience that really had to test my patience! So at church we
are really working hard for Real Growth in the branch and have been
working with a lot of Less Actives and they all were doing really good
and we did all we could to get them excited for church and thought they
were coming and none came! we also did the same with our progressing
investigators and still nothing! i was so upset we only had 43 people
attend yesterday! That is no where close to the 100 that pres. kirton
has set for the branch! we are working so hard with him to get that but
it is struggling right now! But we have faith and i believe it will
reach that goal! The other struggle is that we tried to have a meeting
with the leaders of the branch to set up a branch mission plan and put
it into play, but everytime we tried they turned it on us as
missionaries saying that we havent done our part to allow them to do
their! im sorry to say but maybe i wasnt in the best mood and it made me
upset to see them blame it on us that the less actives werent coming.
and also that they werent fellowshipping because we didnt introduce
them! i think i held it in and we worked it out the best we could
without being overbearing. and took the blame but the hour that we were
there we only got to goals and the members were talking bad behind the
others backs so we just stopped the meeting and we as missionaries plan
to work with president kirton on the goals and actions and then present
it to them at the branch counsel! But on a spiritual note! we had a
great experience last night as well. we finished a lesson a half hour
early and had no where to go but we felt impressed to stop by Pres.
kirtons home and when we got there he sent us to the bhola family and
said his wife and daughter were already there but they needed our help.
When we got there we found out that there had been an argument between
the parents and one of the daughters who is seventeen! it was over
texting and talking on the phone to much to a boy from georgetown and
she wasnt getting anything done!( Sounds like me back in the day huh!)
It went to the point that this girl felt all alone and didnt want to be
apart of this world anymore. When we got there Sis. kirton was talking
to both and asked if we could help. but of course we are only 19 and 20
and have no idea what it is like to be a parent but we do know what it
is like to be a teenager. All that we could do and that we were
impressed to do was say a prayer, and then we sang "I am a child of
God". That brought the spirit so much and tears to my eyes. our main
goal was to help the daughter know that our Heavenly Father loves her
and the he parents were trying to help. we also took what sis kirton was
saying and helped the mother know how the youth feel. i believe that it
was a starting point for them to solve the problem and i am so grateful
that the spirit lead me there to experience that opportunity!
