Hello Everyone!
I feel like there’s not much crazy stuff to report this week. Elder Strauss is walking again, carefully.
Wednesday was hilarious because as Elder Strauss and I walked in for district meeting, I was surprised to see the zone leaders unexpectedly sitting in the room to join us. So I was a little nervous, wanting to make it a good district meeting filled with the Spirit, right? To my utter horror after a couple of minutes the Assistants to the Mission President walked in the door, also without having told me, or the zone leaders, a single thing about their planned arrival. It turned out to be a really fun time and a great district meeting, and we went to a chinese buffet all together for lunch. I ate a Korean Mussel for the the first time because Sister Nelson kept daring me to.
Last week was a lot of simply stopping by people I used to teach in Grand Rapids, and potential investigators who have been found over the past few months. This week we’ll be able to return to our searches for more new people by street contacting and knocking on doors, it was just a slow week last week without it.
Our investigators James and Teresa are doing great, we’re just working with James once again and encouraging him in his search for another new job, because unfortunately the one he found fell through. If he can get a new one soon and start coming to church, he’ll be able to be baptized before I leave! I’m sure this is simply another trial of faith that they can overcome if they keep doing what they know is right, and believe God will help them.
I love you all and I hope you have a wonderful week! Stay strong, and stand up for what you know is right. Pray and meditate more often than you are now, and I promise greater peace will come into your life, especially as you act on the feelings you have as you do so.
Love,
Elder Breinholt
