hey hey hey!Man o man what a week! I love it here in Oklahoma, these days are just always so different.So this week consisted of the following fun n stuff:-Met a guy after pday who was drunk out of his mind and probably has no recollection of meeting with us.-Had dinner with the Sigle's who are awesome and are important to make note of because of what happened later this week.-Went on an exchange in OKC3. Elder Erickson from Yukon came to me and it was really good. We had a sweet dinner message involving a mouse trap and Ether 12:6-Met with Brenda, an older lady who got baptized when she was 12, went to church for 4 years and then couldn't get a ride so completely fell away. She has been inactive for more than like 40 years and although she has some faint memories and good experiences in the church, she is pretty much an investigator. That has been interesting.-Had District council on Thursday and discussed the importance of the Book of Mormon in missionary work and talked about how to do so. I beat the missionaries twice in a row at 21.-Went to the bike shop after district council because Elder Vogt had his bike tire stolen on exchanges in Yukon (hilarious).-Taught an amazing lesson with an investigator. We brought a member who just totally killed it! The investigator should be meeting with us this week and will probably come to church with us!-Ate at a crazy Hispanic ladies home and had some ridiculously spicy food. Soooo good though, better than white people food!-Followed a referral from the Sigle's to go visit their inactive daughter. We met and made best friends with them, they showed us their record player and their sweet collection of 60's to 80's records. And then they found out Elder Vogt played trumpet so they gave him one sitting in their garage!-We met an awesome Less active family in the ward who used to live in Gilbert! So that was an awesome connection. We'll be going over for FHE this week and we'll eat some deer jerky he made after hitting a deer (looooong story)-I got called out in Priesthood for doing something on Pday that I'll let the pictures explain. Great conversation starter and now everyone in our ward thinks I'm really good at basketball.-We taught gospel principles on Sunday and had a great discussion. Later that day we made good friends with some Thailand guys hanging out and grilling in their garage who fed us duck and invited us back over for dinner.
And so yeah that is a brief over view of the week. Here's the highlight though.We have been meeting with an inactive member for the past couple of weeks and have just been explaining how much we need him. We have taken him out to a lesson and it went really well, he taught by the Spirit and his testimony was definitely strengthened. We went over to his place this week and Elder Vogt talked with him while I distracted his VERY energetic 5 year old son from interrupting and being super loud (it was my turn to take him this time, Elder Vogt had him last time). The conversation went well and we found out more about how active he used to be, involved in the bishopbric and everything. We invited him to church and he CAME!!! It was so cool and the members really helped him feel loved and needed! We're excited to keep working with him and getting him back to where he wants to be with God.Love you all!Elder Wold
