Feb 6th - Feb 13th
Dang what a gross week..
We had some great work!
We had lessons with Eric St. Pierre and Josh. First was on exchange and we shared a message about Jesus Christ which was amazing because It was the day before Josh had his Teeth taken out. Ouch! He had 19 of them taken out and dentures put in, poor guy. After, we shared about the law of chastity, which sucks, never like teaching that, but this one was good. We had a very special experience with Eric.
Next we saw Craig, we caught him in the snow while he just got a new Snowsled. He let us in and talked to him about the Book of Mormon and we really helped him understand different things. Good discussion, awesome guy.
We ran Into a guy named Greg who is super funny! He's like "don't freaking tell me, we are here because Adam and Eve... did what!?" That dude was way high haha loads of fun!
We also saw Matt Coffin and helped him shovel out his driveway and share a message about trials. He liked it.
We, well I, taught José. José is from Peru, he speaks no English, and he accepted a message about the restoration.
I can't even begin to describe the spirit that completely overcame me when I was teaching. He's like my... 2nd lesson ever in Spanish? First solo. I had talked to him once, but it was fast and worthless almost, but this time we sat down and we talked for about an hour. It was really awesome, I loved it! I love Spanish!
We found a new Spanish family from Mexico, but we haven't taught them yet, they speak English, so Elder Ferrell can have some fun too haha.
We taught a lady named Ida, who is blind.. dang, that sucks! She can't read, everything is super big so she can see, but she can't do anything. Poor lady, but we shared the restoration then shared about how God is helping us all the time. Very spiritual.
The work is still progressing and still going, maybe not as we want, but the lord blesses our efforts.
The weather... we have been shut down as a mission for 2 days because we are having the worst winter blizzard since January 2015. Already we have about thigh deep snow and we are looking at another foot or two.. and I'm on an island.. wonderful haha but it's fun! We have been with our neighbors a lot, they cook us wonderful food and we are planning on watching meet the Mormons later today! Thanks for the love! Miss you all! E
