Hey Y'all!
It has been a crazy busy past week.
We received a few referrals and taught a lot of our investigators.
On tuesday, we went and taught Shy,
he is a really nice man with 2 kids in his 40s. We took the Bishop's wife with
us to teach him. Usually he just sits and asks questions, but this time, he was
just kind of quiet. We started teaching him the restoration, and we testified
of Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. When talking about dispensation, I
said, " that dispensation is like teaching your kid certain things at
different stages of their life. You know like walking at the infant stage,
riding a bike at toddler stage, etc. That is like how God gave us prophets in
each age of time. Then when your kids get older, and have their own families,
they will often look to you for guidance. That is why God gave us a prophet.
The prophets guide us as we go through our life and help us to keep asking God
for help." This analogy really hit home for Shy because his niece that
lives with him was graduating this past week. The cool thing about this lesson
was, we were supposed to meet with Shy 2 weeks ago, except we had to cancel due
to other concerns. However, i think that God wanted to prepare him during the
week we had cancelled to be able to be ready for the Spiritual lesson we were
able to have.
That same day, we got a referral for
a man named Jerry. It turns out, we had knocked on his door before, only he
wasn't home, some other lady was. Well we had sent a referral to the lady's
house for the missionaries in that area to go talk with her. Well those
missionaries were able to talk with Jerry while talking with the lady, and they
referred him back to us.
Well, this past week, I ate a bite
of Swordfish, and even though i tried it, i probably will not try it
again.
Thursday, my companion and I had the
police called on us. We had driven to a neighborhood to go tracting, but had
flipped around a few times to try to find a good spot to park, and then when we
were finally parked, we got a bunch of texts and phone calls. As my companion
was responding to a text, this elderly couple drove up next to us, rolled their
window down, so i rolled my window down. They asked us if we were waiting
for someone. We said no, we were just pulled over to answer some texts, and
then we would be leaving. Well then, after they left, we decided we would leave
the spot we were in and park some where else. So then we parked in front of
someones house on the side of the street. We went and walked towards someones
door, when we were about there, i noticed a cop car by our car. So i told my
companion, and we decided to go talk to the police man. Luckily he was really
nice, and told us that someone had called them stating there was a car driving
around with 2 suspicious women in it. We told him that we were missionaries and
we were just knocking on doors, sharing messages about Jesus Christ. He told us
okay then we are fine. But just to move our car because it was sticking out a
little bit and could obstruct traffic. So we ended up just leaving the
neighborhood all together since the old people there love to call the cops.
Well, this week i have gone tracting
many times in the hot and super humid weather.
One of the times we went tracting,
we were able to save 3 golden retrievers who were in the middle of the road,
and were causing traffic to slam on their breaks.
Other than that, if any of you have
ideas on how to stay cool in the humidity while tracting, send them to me.
Love you all!
Sister Lewis
