Hey guys!
We had a pretty good week. It started off with us going and visiting a member of the ward in the hospital. She's doing good, just in recovery. She's actually a ward missionary, which is really fun
because that means we get to go and see her a lot. Sister Murri, being the brilliant missionary that she is, decided to give her some pass-along cards. It was pretty funny, because in church, the bishop just happened to tell a story about when he went to visit her, and give her a blessing, and one of the nurses was about to leave so they could have some privacy, but she told her to come back for a minute, and she gave her one! It was so awesome hearing that story. She's actually passed them out to multiple people there. Just goes to show, you should always act on a good thought because you never know what's going to happen.
Friday was really fun! We got to go over to the church to help set up for Patrick's (a guy in the ward) farewell. It's just been so interesting seeing him go through the process of going on a mission while being on a mission. A ton of people came to say goodbye to him, and give him last minute advice. He actually left the next day to head out to the MTC, so he's out and about being a missionary by now.... I'm so proud of him! -wipe away a tear-
Sunday was awesome! Our awesome investigator, Harley, decided all on his own that he wanted to go to church. Believe it or not, we'd never even asked him if he wanted to come because his leg is in such bad condition from his car accident, and it takes a lot to get around, but he just told us he felt like he needed to come, which is funny because about an hour before the phone call when he told us he wanted to come, Sister Murri totally predicted he'd want to come way too soon for his strength to allow, but hey, we're all about getting people to church, so we found him a ride with someone who had enough leg room and packed him all up and brought him to church! It was so great! Everyone in the ward welcomed him, and he's so excited to come back. The next time he comes back will actually be to see General Conference, and as soon as we told him about it, he said, "I want to go to that!" He's doing awesome, but his leg will have to heal more before he can be baptized. His heart is there, but his leg is not.
Beverly is doing really well, too. On Monday we went over with Brother Ledgerwood and Brother Riggs to give her a priesthood blessing because she's been struggling with her health, and it's been making it hard for her to get to church, but it's okay. She's still moving along. She bought a skirt just the other day so that she can come, so that's really exciting! We also rescheduled her baptism for April 16. It's gonna be an awesome day when she gets baptized!
We also got a new investigator, John. We showed up telling him we got him as a Bible referral, and he was really confused at first, but still nice. We talked to him for a couple of minutes, and by the end of it, he agreed to have us back in a week, and he remembered that he had ordered a Bible and that he "has a special purpose for it." When we asked for a referral from him, he sent us down the road to Jimmy and Cassie. When we told them he sent us, Jimmy just laughed, but they also agreed to having us come back in a week! We'll see where all of this goes from here!
Sincerely,
Sister Shelton
While we had brunch with Millie (the spunkiest lady ever) she told us about this LDS church building that we didn't even know existed, and currently doesn't even have church held in it each week, so we went and found it!
These next four pictures are us just having a photo shoot.
