We had a great week this week. The weather has been super nice and
it's supposed to be even better this week! Yay!
I had exchanges with Elder Smith this week. It was only his 6th day in
the mission. It was a pretty fun day. It was a really nice day so
there was actually people outside to talk to which was really nice. We
met a couple of awesome people. We haven't been able to talk to any of
them since that day but we are working on it.
We finally got a hold of Paty again, and we asked her if she would be
able to come to church on Sunday. She said she had talked to her boss
and he told her that she could choose between church and work. So she
went home and was thinking about it and then she decided to read the
Book of Mormon, then said a prayer. And she was really tired so right
after her prayer she fell asleep. And she said she was sleeping
holding the Book of Mormon, kind of like a teddy bear or something,
then she had a dream and God answered her prayer in her dream. So she
told us she is going to come to church and just leave the money
problem up to God.
So Sunday comes and Paty didn't show up to church. That night we went
and talked to her and she told us that Saturday night she had a really
bad head ache and was really tired and so she took some medication
which just knocked her out until noon. So that was disappointing. But
we still had a lot of people that we have been working with show up to
church.
A member just moved here from Mexico and so she doesn't speak any
English. And there are only like 7 people who speak Spanish in the
branch. 4 of them are just white guys, 2 are less active and the other
1 was out of town. So we were super worried that she wouldn't make any
friends and wouldn't like it, but 1 of the less actives came and they
became super good friends! And the less active really enjoyed church
and is now starting to take the temple prep classes.
Moral of the story: Everything happens for a reason.
Love y'all!
Elder Mackay
Some cool decorations we saw!
