We are doing some cool things here in Bridgeton. This
past week, Elder Wall and I started volunteering at the Library. We
volunteer every Tuesday shelfing books, cleaning up outside, and
whatever else there is to do. We had to do a little test to see how we
could shelf books. So we did. The Libriarian was way impressed at our
shelfing skills. Perhaps I was wrong, but I thought that it didn't
require much intelligence to alphabetize books, but hey, I have been
wrong before. She asked if we had worked in a Library before, and
immediately put us to work haha. It is gonna be a good opportunity to
talk to people and share the Gospel. If nothing else, we are showing
them that, as missionaries, we try to help out everyone.
So on my first day here in Bridegton, we stopped by everyone's
houses so that I could meet them. We stopped by this less-active's
house, said hi, and talked to her and a friend that was over for a
little bit. We couldn't go inside because there wasn't a man present.
Had a cool experience Wednesday. We visit this less active, and she
cooks for us and it is DELICIOUS!!! Even when Mexican's whip something
together really fast because the missionaries are coming it is still
good. Anyway, she told us that when we passed by and just talked to her,
after we left, Sylva's (Less Active) fried mentioned to her that while
we were at the door, she felt something "strange" that immediately left
when we did. I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED ONE OF THOSE STORIES!!!! I thank God
that I was worthy to be a vessel of His Spirit. We are doing all that we
can to try and teach her!
A member here got her mission call to Pittsburgh. That is always a
cool thing to see someone open a mission call. Took a trip down memory
lane. It was pretty neat.
Well, things are going well here. Couldn't ask for anything better.
Except I could ask for a washer and dryer in the apartment. But I won't
let the little things get in the way. This work really is true. It is
simply true. I could not find any other logical answer. Love you all.
Thanks for the week-early birthday wishes. I hit a year on Thursday!!!!
