Hello Everyone!
Well
I did have another good week full of week and just recently, pizza!!!! This week, we discovered that
Greenwich pizza is pretty dang cheap. So Elder King and I split one and
it is about $3 per person. That includes a Hawaiian slushy! Man is
it DELICIOUS!
I have also been working hard with our investigators.
Literally we have around 30 investigators but we can never get them to attend
church. Pretty soon I may have to start using the Force to drag them into
the church! Many of them actually expressed interest, but interestingly
SOMETHING always seems to come up... I will get to the bottom of this
strange occurrence! Until then I will make sure I pray and exercise
stronger faith.
So as for a special story: for the past couple of weeks
Mama Tin has really been struggling to be happy. She has been having some
trouble with some of the members and things are hard right now for her with a
baby on the way. Yesterday she gave a talk on how the members can fulfill
their callings to the fullest. She testified to me later that night that
when she gave her talk, unlike all the other times she had talked, all of the
members who usually talked were paying attention to her. She said that
never in her life had she felt the Spirit so strongly while giving a talk.
It was amazing to see how happy that had made her.
Elder Sorronda and I
had been trying to find ways to make her happy (none of my usual humor
worked...) and I guess this was what she needed. It was one of many
instances where I can testify that if we endure and continue to choose the
right, the Lord will lighten our burdens. Mama Tin is trully a great
member and she has endured a lot to get to where she is now. I will say
though that she really seems to like when I act goofy. I
did one of my impressions when I could tell she was just done with her crazy
kids. I did my impression and I kid you not, she was crying for the next
30 seconds. That day I felt more accomplished than usual.
Well I
think that is about it for this week. I will continue to work with these
investigators and make the members laugh! Until next week!
Love,
Elder
Warren
