Bonjour! The week flew by! And the months! Tomorrow is my 17 months mark! Crazy to think I have one month left, but I don't think about it so there you go haha
Breakfast at Cora |
17 fingers for our 17 months--with Sister Larsen |
Monday through to Wednesday, the Travelling Sisters were with us, Sister Larsen and Sister Stastny.
Exchanges with Sister Stastny |
We did lots of teaching and FINDing and it honestly felt like we did a lot of running around...! Cool story from Wednesday night: We did a POWER HOUR!
At the end of one of our suppers we asked the members to pick a street where we would go FINDing for the next hour. They picked 110 Ave. Upon arriving both companionships went different ways down the street.
Sister Larsen and I knocked on the first door, he asked who sent us, and when Sister Larsen replied "God", he slammed the door. The second door didn't even open however they talked to us through it, the third door the man was nice but not interested. Fourth door, a nice young adult opened and she let us in to share with her the Book of Mormon Map! One lesson later, we knock on the fifth house, we meet sweet single mother who sets up a return appointment with us! Sixth door we meet another single who gave us her number to contact her when she is back in town next week!
As for the other Sisters they also had the opportunity to talk to many people and found a father of a 6-week-old baby who also set a return visit for next weekend even though he had no religious background!
Sister Eckton and I had the opportunity to teach the first single mom I had met Friday! She said she wanted to start meeting weekly to get comfortable with us before she comes out to church. We felt the Holy Ghost the strongest when we talked about following Jesus Christ through Baptism. We are so excited to keep teaching her and start teaching her kids as well!
We've been able to do the POWER HOUR several times this week and have gotten some really good results! There are so many ways we can work with members! When we ask them to exercise their faith in missionary work, miracles can happen!
We nearly reached all our goals this week! |
Hope you all have a great week!
Lots of love!
Sister Tatjana Zumbach
