Week 69?

 Hello Everyone!

It's been a busy week again! This week we did clean checks again. We have 15 apartments to check in two cities. It usually takes us 2 days to complete them. We also dress up to lighten the anxiety involved in clean checks, both the Elders and Sisters apartments being checked and us checking them. Last time we checked apartments we dressed as bunnies. There were a couple of Elders who didn't have the best attitudes or clean apartments. So, this time before we went out we decided to pray that they would have good attitudes and very clean apartments. We went as referee's and only had to give 2 penalties! A traveling violation (Elders were late getting to their apartment) and a Technical because it caused us to be later for our next appointment. The Elders laughed at our novice attempts to give the right signals for the penalties. Their apartment was very clean! So were all the rest of the apartments we checked! The attitudes were great! We will always remember to pray about attitudes and cleanliness before we go next time.

We are still reading to several people each evening. The first lady we started with just finished the Book of Mormon!! She was so excited! She told our Branch President that she had read the whole Book Of Mormon all the way through, cover to cover. She was very proud of herself. When we got to the last chapter where Moroni has his challellenge, we challenged her to pray and ask God if it was true. She said that it would take her some time to do this, but consented to pray.

A couple of Sundays ago in the evening, we were at home and heard a knock at the door. We were surprised to see a less active member standing there. We invited her in. She was having some issues with her grown children etc.She told us all about the problems she was having and was wondering what she could do to remedy the situation. We gave her a couple of ideas and then told her the best thing to do was to pray about it, to ask the Lord what she should do. After about an hour she left. We aren't sure whether we helped her or not, but we felt really good that our relationship with her was good enough that she felt that she could come and talk to us. Hopefully, she will pray and know what to do. Jesus is the answer to everything!

We are still going to each of the cities in our branch contacting those who are less active and leaving our quotes and scriptures. We don't know who will eventually respond, but we have hope that at some point these scriptures and quotes will prick someone's heart and they will find the need to come back to church.

The church is true! The Book of Mormon is true! Read something out of it each day. You will make better decisions and your questions will be answered  if you read from the Book of Mormon each day. I testify that this is true!
