Well, it's the start of the new transfer, 6 weeks went by fast! Still in Edmond/Guthrie and it has been awesome! Nothing better than being out here, figuring myself out and really interacting with some pure Oklahomans.
Yesterday, we had dinner at the Morgan's house, and they had us sing Called to Serve for the second time in a row. But hey, Brother
Morgan said that out of all the missionaries that he's heard sing over the years, we were some of the best.
With the ward members we've been teaching them the lessons in their homes to try and get them excited about missionary work. It's been going great so far. We had an amazing lesson with a less active/
recent convert of 7 months. The spirit was so strong, even though we were "practicing our teaching skills", we were just really re-teaching Brother Scroggins the Restoration.
Saturday we spent some time with the Svizers's. Sister Svizer is from Colombia and has a super
thick accent. She is a divorced single mother with two kids still at
home, Julian 16, and Johnluka 12. They needed help setting up a
preschool at their house and we had just got cancelled on, so we went over and helped. We built a trampoline, a ping pong table, talked about the Book of Mormon, and then had some smoothies she made which were great! As we were leaving we realized just how important that was for them. They are struggling and just needed some help physically with the preschool and spiritually with their faith, especially with Julian, who's been struggling since their recent move here and a lack of friends in the ward.
Not a whole lot more going on to be honest! Just going day to day,
step by step, helping the ward and trying to find people to teach.
We've found a lot of great potentials but no one we could actually classify as investigators...yet. The work is moving and it's so great!
Love,
Elder Wold
