Last night we went on home teaching splits. The member told me she was struggling through
her mission, she went as an older sister missionary. She just decided one day
that she wanted to serve and that now was as good a time as ever. And she said it was hard, even as mature as
she was, it was tough. But it was the
best time for my life. She said she got
that from some general conference talk.
Monday we had a normal p-day and had dinner with an air force
family in the area. Tuesday we had
interviews in the next big town. Usually
we take the train because we are limited to 1000 miles on the car for the month and
we have been asked to use the train for most meetings there. But this time, we drove because we are the
only car in the district besides the Zone Leaders. So we provide rides from the train station to
the church. Wednesday I received a call
from the President, he said there was a couple from home who would like to
deliver a package and have lunch with us, if that was okay. It was fun to see them and hear some things
about home. After that we did some
finding. Thursday we had a companionship
exchange with the District Leader, so we changed for the day. Me and the District Leader went to the
neighboring area and had a great time finding, it was the first time doing
street contacting in that area. We had a
couple of interesting gentlemen on the street who weren’t the most interested
in what we were teaching. After one of
them, not even a minute later, we stopped a family that is super interested and
we are planning to meet them next week.
It was a real testimony builder to never give up. Opposition in all things and we were able to
overcome it. Following that, the other
guy came up and started yelling at us.
Friday we had a companionship exchange with the Zone leaders and it was
good. We were just sitting in the train
station waiting for the train. The Zone
leader we were with spoke Chinese and he saw a Chinese gentleman and walked up
to talk with him. He had just moved here and was interested. They talking and the man knew he needed to be
baptized and loved the fact all sins could be washed away. It was great- but he lives in the
neighboring mission. Still- go England
with another baptism. Saturday we
switched back and had a dinner appointment with a family in the ward. They were fixing dutch oven and it took some
time to cook. While we were waiting the guy suggested we go into his wood shop
and start making a table. It was really good to be working with my hands
again.
We were not able to meet up with
some of the people we have been working with last week, but plan to contact
them this week. The weather has been sunny
and warm the last few days. About 50-60
degrees and SUNNY- it’s been good.
Hope all is well. Thanks for all the love and
support,
Love Elder Stevenson.
