Hello everyone!
Once again, emailing on a very odd day. They are trying some new things here in the MLM and if I’m being completely honest I think they are weird, but I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded.
Anyway, because Monday is a transfer day, they decided to try moving the first P-Day back to the last Saturday of the transfer before, which is today. Confusing, I know, but we shall roll with it.
Transfer calls came yesterday during studies……… aaaaaand Elder McGuire and I are staying here for another 6 weeks! Yay! I am excited because I love the investigators we have right now and want to see at least one of them be baptized.
Great things are happening here in Oscoda, and we have seen wonderful miracles this week already, one of which happened on Tuesday:
Tuesday night Elder McGuire and I were planning for the day ahead, and had pretty much finished up plans except for where we would go knocking, and instead of just picking one that has not been knocked for a while, we tried to debate back and forth by the Spirit as to where we need to go, and decided on a street on the map that did not even have a name written next to it. But the next day came and we drove into that street all the way out in Hale, pretty much in the middle of nowhere, and got out of the car, and who do we see coming down from the house? Sister Parent, our branch mission leader’s wife! Turns out that this first house we were going to knock was the house of Sister Parent’s new friend who she has been working on and trying to work toward sharing the gospel with and inviting to church. Sister Parent had told us about her before, but hadn’t given us any information about here, and all of a sudden God led us to her at a perfect moment when Sister Parent was there. So we all walked up to the house and we were introduced to this friend, Kayla, who agreed to meet with us on Friday! Friday came around and Brother and Sister Parent drove us down there, and we had a marvelous lesson with Kayla, her husband Mark, and her brother John, who all want to read the Book of Mormon and come to church tomorrow, and join the church if it feels right to them.
Angie is also doing very well and tried SO hard to quit drinking coffee, and it apparently made her sick to the point of vomiting, so she is drinking it again…. Haha so yesterday she asked for a Priesthood blessing. I guess this is what happens when you have been drinking coffee every day for 24 years…? Keep her in your prayers, she is progressing steadily and although she is facing much opposition she and her family are coming closer to God, and she will be at church with them tomorrow.
Love you all, and Hope you have a wonderful week next week! I won’t be emailing Monday, it will be a full work day for me! So I’ll talk to you the next Monday! Hopefully!….
