Week 77 - Mothers Day

Bojour Famn,

Monday morning we had a lesson with Mark and taught him the Repentance Process. Afterwards we took P-Day then had a lesson with Lisa. But Lisa wasn't there so we just read with Fae and her sister Ann Marie.

Tuesday morning we spent most of the morning looking through our Area Book calling a bunch of people that had been contacted by Missionaries in the past. We set up a bunch of appointments for the rest of the week. Afterwards we had lunch then went to have a lesson with some one but it fell through so we saw Brother Eddy. He talked the whole time we were there haha. We then went back and had a lesson with a lady named Janet. We taught her the Restoration and gave her a Book of Mormon.

Wednesday morning we had a lesson with a man named John. We also taught him the Restoration lesson and gave him a Book of Mormon. He loves the missionaries now! The rest of that day was crazy because we walked all over the place. People kept falling through. We went and saw Sister Sandy and talked about reading her Book of Mormon with her Bible every morning because normally she just reads her Bible. 

Thursday morning was District Meeting and we talked about ways that we can help each other get our investigators more interested in coming to church and to progress. We also talked about how we can get the members more involved with missionary work. Afterwards we walked down to the Fire Station to see Sister Duncan but she wasn't feeling too well. That afternoon it rained a ton so we just sat there trying to figure out what we were gonna do. After it stopped most of our appointments fell through so we went up to the old house to sweep it and mop it out.

Friday morning we had a lesson with a lady named Althea. We talked about the Book of Mormon because she has met with missionaries before. Afterwards we went back home to have Weekly Planning Session. In the middle of it we got our transfer calls. I am going to Kingston to be with Elder Hudson and Elder Christensen, my trainer! I will be his last companion! Craziness! Anyways, we tried to see a lady at the Jackson's but she wasn't there. Tried to see Mark but he wasn't home. And most of our other peopled fell through too.

Saturday morning we had a lesson with Mark and President Francis. We watched the Restoration Video and Mark noticed a lot of cool things about the Saints when Joseph was trying to get everything up and running.Afterwards we tried to see Lisa but she wasn't awake yet so we had lunch then tried to see John again. He wasn't home so we went to see Janet who also wasn't home. WE tried to see Lisa again but this time she was in town. People kept falling through! We went down to Ochi to do some Branch business then we walked up to the Jackson's and the Johnson's just to remind them about church. We then went home for the night and took studies.

Sunday was my last Sunday in Ochi and I had a surprise Testimony call. I took pictures with people that I will load later. After church I got to skype my Mother and the family. After them we went back to the house and got soaked on the way home. I wasn't too happy after that. We had lunch then went back down for Elder Erickson to Skype his family.

I am truly grateful for my family and everything that they do for me. I didn't get too much time here in Ochi but I am grateful for everyone here! I hope every one else had a great week as well!

Love you all!

Elder Wilding
