This was a great week in Shelby. We spent the first couple of days trying to burn off the extra miles we had left, so we got to visit a lot of people that were waaaaay out in our area. We weren't able to see a lot of people, but it was scenic anyway. I also got to see fireflies while we were driving, which was pretty neat. Tuesday was Granny's 88th birthday, so we went and visited her after bingo. It was so fun!
On Thursday I was mostly just really confused that it was June. We also had the Sister Training leaders over for weekly planning, which was fun except for the fact that our air conditioning was broken. I know, I know, we live a rough life. Its fixed now. Sister Christiansen also finally got to meet our good old friend Bill.
We were trying to meet our goal for new investigators this week, so that meant we had to go out and knock some doors! Not everyone was interested, but they were mostly all polite (we did have a short stand-off with a toothless pit bull before we decided that no one was home). It's pretty humid out still, and there were a few mosquitos, as I soon discovered when we came home. But we had some success! At one apartment complex we met a few kids that showed off their moves, as well as a man whose grandma had attended our church. Then we were able to share the Because of Him message with one woman, and she said we made her night and invited us back. Yay!
On Saturday we were able to meet with M and D again, finally! It was a great lesson. We went over the Restoration again, and when M talked about her struggles, Sister Christiansen was able to share Mosiah 3:5 with her. M loved it and said it applied perfectly to her struggles. We are so excited to keep teaching them!
Sunday was wonderful of course. We had a really powerful testimony meeting. At one point, because of a promise they jad made to their leadr at the beginning of the month, all the young men got up to bear their testimonies. They were each short, simple, and very powerful. You could tell they knew what they were saying was true. So lesson learned: even if it seems small, share your testimony! You never know who might need it.
We are looking forward to zone conference and a lot of good things this week! Keep praying!
Love,
Sister Reay
