Monday started off with a whole lot of nothing... But we did go see the Smith's and the Ferdinand's for Family Home Evening! It is always fun to go and visit with them!
Tuesday morning we went and saw Brother Allen Taylor and his mother. We talked about the Book of Mormon being our Keystone to our Testimonies and our Religion. We also went and saw Rolle who we taught the Plan of Salvation to. He also showed us all of his plants that he has that bare fruits and ones that he takes pride in! We tried to see Kenton that day but we weren't sure where he was or anything like that. We don't really know what is going on with him right now... Anyways, We were also supposed to see Sandra but she wasn't home either. We then went to the Seawell's for dinner then home for studies.
Wednesday morning was District Meeting. We tried to see Kenton that day too but he wasn't home and he wasn't answering his phone either! We went to check up on Sister Downer and Brother Godfrey. We also picked up a new investigator that night. His name is Don. He is a friend of Sister Downer. Brother Williams cancelled on us so we had most of our evening to go talk to new people and to do more studies.
Thursday morning we did service for Brother Lucito for about 20 minutes before it started to rain. We had Brother Cartwright with us so we took him to the church to type up a resume for him to help him apply for jobs. He then took us to lunch. We stopped by the Michel family but Brother Michel wasn't home so we couldn't stay. We dropped off some pamphlets for them to teach their daughter the Gospel to prepare her for Baptism. We then stopped by Sister Wencie to tell her good job at getting all of her kids to church that last Sunday and to share a spiritual thought on the Sacrament. After that we had most of our night fall through again so we took our studies because we didn't get them in that morning.
Friday morning was Weekly Planning. Elder Craig's last weekly planning too! Afterwards we went to see Demitri. We went over the Baptismal interview questions with him to figure out what he needs to learn the most. Right now his mother is what is holding him back from baptism. We later picked up Brother Latario to go see a potential investigator but we found out that she moved so we have no clue where she is... We then went to see Brother Vytal and his father Raphael. Vytal was the only one awake so we talked about his family and how we could help him share the Gospel with them. We then went to see the Julmis family but it was only their mother home. She is Haitian so we had to use a Creole Book of Mormon. I have been reading from the Creole BoM for a couple weeks now so that is where my reading came in handy! I pronounced most of the words right! Hopefully I will be able to bare my testimony in Creole when I get home!
Saturday morning we called a bunch of members and investigators to invite them to church. We then went and saw a former investigator named Romell. We found out that he doesn't want to make any commitments or anything to we taught the Plan of Salvation to see if it would change his heart but it didn't... So we left him with a few pamphlets then left. We then spent the next two hours trying to find another potential investigator's home but couldn't find it. So we went to go Basketball Contacting. This is when I dislocated my knee for the 3rd time. This one HURT!! But, I did talk to a really cool young man named Conrad who is very willing to sit down and to listen to us! He is very promising!
Sunday we had church and the opportunity to renew our covenants with the Lord. Man am I grateful for that! We then had the Ferdinand's for lunch, then the Sinea's for a Family Home Evening, and a small Bash with Eric's friend Rolle again... Rolle is so hard hearted it's very sad! I seriously feel soooo bad for him! I feel like Nephi when his Father dies and when his brothers try to kill him afterwards! We then went to a small concert that was put on for Brother Lucito's wife. We heard a lot of really good people sing for her and wish her better health.
That was my week. I hope that what I share with you guys will touch you as this last week has touched me. I am truly grateful for the Love of the Lord in my life. I am grateful for the opportunity that I have to show that love for those around me. I love this work and I encourage everyone to look for those opportunities to show their love for those around them! I love you All!
Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!
Elder Wilding
