| Moving Sonny |
Not very many different things has happened this week, we still did a
lot of referral lookups for the English district, so we can drop off
the bibles that they requested to them, but before we left we called
some of these people to see if anybody would actually answer so we
don't have to waste a whole bunch of time on the trains and buses and
later find out they are not home or something like that, but we
actually got a few people to answer and this one guy says "can you
send the bible in the mail?" and we were like "no but we can drop it
off at your house" and then their like "oh that's ok we don't want the
bible anymore" haha pretty weird stuff. Most of these looks up that we
have either don't want the bible anymore, never answer the door or the
phone and are never home so we basically dropped most of them.
This week we tracted a ton and haven't had a lot of success lately but
we did help a less active move ,his name is Sonny, kinda of a sad
story he was baptized about a little over 2 months ago, he was
previously a Jehovas Witness but he said he never believed in it and
that he was reading the Book of Mormon and told us that he got an
answer to his prayer that it's true but 2 months later he went back to
being a Jehovas Witness and when we were helping him move he had this
huge box of The Watchtower which is a magazine that they pass out, and
I asked him what those were and he said "oh I'm a Jehovas Witness and
I have been for the past 8 years." This dude forgot that he was
baptized into our church and it's only been 2 months. So we got all
his stuff into this van and there was no space in the van for us so we
had to cram 3 people in the back and basically lay on his things. It's
was a pretty long car ride and it was soooo uncomfortable and kinda
dangerous but it was pretty fun. Later that night we had 2 really good
lessons with less actives.
Sunday was really good except the the temperature was like -15, it was
freezing.
Also some other sad news, I don't know if you guys heard but a
missionary died in Pittsburgh in a car wreck and it so happens to be
that this missionary was really good friends with a sister missionary
in my district, it was really sad.
To end on a good note I guess I'll share something that I read today,
it was a lesson from the teachings from the presidents Howard w hunter
and he talks about how adversity plays a really big part and how its
essential for our eternal progress and that trials that we have here
are for our growth but if we come unto Christ he will ease our burdens
and help us with any trials that we face.
Love,
Elder Pugmire
