How are we all this fine colder June week? Fun Fact: we've been asked a lot this week if we're staying warm, because many people had to pull out their heaters because of how cold it got this week. Brr. It doesn't feel like June weather at all. But that's ok. I'd rather not have close to 100 degree weather every day.
This week has been full of mini miracles everywhere. Right and left we can see them as we continue forth in the work of the Lord. It is so cool to continue to see His hand. Honestly I don't know where to start with how the week went, because there are so many items to cover. On Monday we had a zone preparation day and zone council afterwards. That was a lot of fun. The big highlight of it was that we had a water balloon capture the flag fight. That was a lot of fun. The sad highlight though was that Elder Matthews lost his tiwi card. A lot of extra walking resulted of that trial. But no worries. During zone council we talked a lot about trusting the process and sustaining president Larsen through many different things. It was a great time and I enjoyed being able to spend time with the other zone members.
Tuesday we went on Exchanges wit Lovell 2,3,5. That was awesome. Elder Walker came with Me to Byron/Cowley, and Elder Matthews stayed in Lovell with Elder Reinhold. This exchange was awesome. We had a great lesson with Liz, that let us know a lot more of what's going on because Carl was a little preoccupied to pay too much attention. It was awesome how much more we learned from her when Liz had the opportunity to speak. Afterwards we also did some service moving a few wood shop equipment pieces and trying to make a few contacts in Cowley.
Thursday, We did some service for Viki with Lovell 1,4 again. We were pulling down a dog kennel. We seem to have really pushed Elder Matthews over the edge because he ended up after that not feeling well. We think it was both from a little Gluten and shock from what he did to his hand on Monday, so we had a much simpler day afterwards doing weekly planning and Elder Matthews Sleeping a lot because he wasn't feeling well. We also set up a lesson for Friday with a new potential, Amy
Friday, We had that lesson with Amy. A little background on that. Amy met with the Lovell 1,4 elders with her recent convert friend. And she was interested so she put a missionary visit request in ComeuntoChrist.org. That was awesome, and then we met with her on Friday. After doing a bit of service for Carl, we had the lesson and answered many of her questions, and even put her temporarily on date. She is so golden and points out little spiritual confirmations she gets. Amy is ready and we're so happy for her and the progress she is making. We also had a lesson with Justin that evening which was fantastic.
Saturday was really just a day of preparation for Amy coming to Church on Sunday. After doing that we also helped set up for a wedding dinner at the church. That was pretty good.
Sunday, we also saw another great miracle as we were heading home for the night. The Byron young men's president calls and gives us a great referral for a youth that isn't baptized but comes to mutual weekly, and will probably be baptized in just a few weeks. So sweet to see that miracle as well. I love it. We are looking forward to next week when we will see him at mutual.
Well, I think that just about wraps up our week. I do hope for some slightly warmer weather soon. Because it sure is cold outside. haha. A lot of good is happening and I am so excited to see what else we can do over this next week in the service of our God.
Love,
Elder Sherwood
