yeah...transfer calls already!!!! I can't believe how fast this
transfer has gone! Sister Hoffman and I have definitely learned lots
this transfer! and we are still learning!! I don't have a lot of time
today but I'll try and tell you some of the highlights of this week!
So we're still on the hunt...trying to find people to teach... I think
I sort of told you last week that we have a new investigator! Theresa!
So the elders in another area had referred her to us...she just moved
here and is actually still looking for a place to live but last week
we were riding the bus home and we got on and this lady said "You are
just the two that i've been looking for!" We were a little
confused...then said oh! are you theresa?! We talked to her a little
on the bus and set up an appointment to teach her last saturday! It
was a miracle that we got on the bus and there she was! Someone that
actually wanted to talk to us! :) So we've taught her twice now! It is
pretty awesome to have someone that is actually interested and wants
to learn! She just wants to learn and loves it all and wants to be
baptized! So that's pretty awesome!
We've met some cool people this week while street contacting! We met
this one guy the other day who we stopped and talked to and he was
interested to learn more! It was so cool and to make it even better he
was from england and had an awesome accent! so we just talked and
talked... haha so he's just visiting here he's a musician and is here
until December so we might be able to meet with him again but we told
him that there are missionaries in England and he said we could send
his address and stuff to them so he can learn more when he gets home!
So that was pretty awesome too! I hate when we find those perfect
people that want to learn more and then they tell us that they don't
live here... but then it's okay because I just remember how we are
planting seeds and that there are missionaries all over! It is so
amazing that all over the world there are missionaries and that they
will hopefully be able to teach this man when he goes back to England!
I have faith that it will happen!! :)
There really are lots of good people out there! It is so great when we
meet people that are at least willing to listen to us and even though
these New Englanders are super stubborn and don't want to change...at
least lots of them will at least give us a shot and they respect us!
We did some tracting this week and we were able to talk to a few
people and they let us testify to them and teach them a little just on
the doorstep and it's just neat when they will listen! We have a few
that we are going to go back and see that we'll just keep trying! Lots
of people respect us though and tell us that even though they're never
going to change that they admire us for what we do! Lots of people
respect the church and like that we have good values and
everything...we've had some good discussions...I just don't get why
they don't want it for themselves then! haha... someday...it'll click
for them... :) We've also met some people who are just really going
through hard times... It's so sad with all the homeless people and
just seeing people and the hard things that they go through... We
talked to a man on the street the other night who had a few different
issues and you could just see how Satan really has a hold of him. It
is so sad! It makes me so sad thinking how sad Heavenly Father is
seeing his children go astray and struggling so much.
I just know that the Atonement is real and that our Savior truly
understands everything that we go through. He is always there for us
and He can strengthen us and will always be there for us! I know that
the Atonement not only allows us to be cleansed from sin but that our
Savior Jesus Christ has taken upon him every pain, sickness, weakness,
worry, everything that we experience and He will help us. He is always
there! I know that He lives and loves us all! I'm so grateful for the
knowledge that I have of this gospel and for the opportunity that I
have to share it with others!
I love you all so much!! Here are a few pictures of the leaves
changing and of Sister Hoffman and I. Hope you have a wonderful week!
:)
Love,
Sister Tait
