This week has been an INSANE flurry of craziness. A week where you know
you're doing the right things because things go so bad, then so good, and on and
on. Thursday felt like a day and a half. We've found a ton of people to teach
though so things are awesome!
On Sunday, Catherine and Eric came to church... but during the opening
Catherine passed out into Eric's lap. It was pretty scary, so we moved her over
to the couch and had one of the members of the ward that's a nurse come out and
help us. She felt so strongly that Eric should be there for sacrament though
that she wouldn't go until they had passed the sacrament (which is awesome since
he had to be there to be baptized on Saturday). After they both had the
sacrament, we carried her in a chair to a car, rode to her apartment, carried
her up the stairs to her apartment, and then layed her down. We gave her a
blessing and the nurse took care of the other stuff that has to happen, and
bishop came. She's still recovering but they're so set on Eric being baptized
it's amazing.
Also on Sunday, we had two lessons scheduled at the same time so for the
first time on my mission I went on splits! It was so productive. I went with one
of our ward mission leaders and taught the first lesson to a 20 year old, Kady,
that the ward set up. It was really a powerful presentation. We focused the
discussion (if that makes sense, since we still taught the first lesson) on past
experiences feeling the Spirit, what it means when you feel the Spirit, and then
recognizing the Spirit during the First Vision. It was so powerful, she told us
that she knew the church was true! So she'll be baptized coming up as
well.
The district also held 5 out of our 6 for this month. It's seriously a
miracle what's happening as we focus on our silver bullets as derived from the
mission president's handbook and Alma 26:22: faithfulness, obedience, and
diligence.
Oh and it was funny to see that family history video with all of the
cousins in it right next to Elder Nelson!!
