I
got your letters and appreciate them. Im going to try and answer your
questions before I get into my week. I’m pretty sure Aaron shoveled the
drive way I asked him to look out and help out so I’m pretty sure
it was him. I haven’t cooked anything big yet, we don’t have dinners
every night but I’ll just make Raman noodles or a bagel or a PB and J
sandwich. I’ve wore my short sleeve shirts but usually under my sweater
which I’m grateful I brought because it gets
pretty cold some day. Thats crazy to hear about that Clarks but really
cool and exciting. Trophy Club is really wealthy and look up Southlake
which is even wealthier. We also have Marshall Creek which is trailer
parks and thats where most of our investigators
are. Also Glen Beck lives not even twenty minutes away which is pretty
cool. We got a brand new 2014 Corolla which is really nice and a huge
blessing when it gets cold.
This
week has been really good and the time has been flying by. Its harder
to teach some investigators because they are single ladies and were not
in a trio anymore. The Ward has been really good and coming
out with us though and thats been a huge blessing. We were able to
hand out several Books of Mormon this week and one day it was really
nice out and were able to teach several lessons just at the door. We
planned to help this older gentleman and lady paint
this week and they were going to feed us and we were going to teach
them a lesson and I was super excited for that. When the day came we
walked over there and no one was home and it was really disappointing.
We went back a day later to find out Pat Jones
the guy had a pretty bad stroke. It was sad and made me physically
sad. They were so interested in hearing the gospel and it hurt me to
hear what happened. We have not been able to go see him but I’m eager
to see how he is doing. We have been teaching
a less active member who says he has come a long ways since we have
been visiting with him. It isn’t always about baptisms I’ve learned and
if we can help this man change his life and go to the temple one day it
will be just as good. As for Sunday we had
a lot of people promise to come to church and we were really excited
but not a single person came. I was a little disappointed and
frustrated at the time. Then I remember that we did everything we could
and not to get sad about things that aren't in our
control. As long as we work our hardest and do our part the Lord will
do the rest. Ive come to love so many people here and I’m doing my best
and working hard. Thanks for all of your prayers and support!
Love Elder Visser
