This week was busy very busy. We saw lots of
people.
Tuesday, We gave a member in the ward, named
Sister Dowling, a blessing. I was the one that gave her the blessing. She
requested a blessing because of some health problems. We saw David R. and
taught him about the time line of the Book of Mormon and Bible. We had dinner
with the Clements and had pizza. After dinner we meet with the Laseur family.
Brother Laseur is a member that wants to become active again and his wife wants
to know what we believe.
Wednesday, we did some service for Sister
Pitt. We cut down vines and weeds
and fixed one of her doors. While we were outside it started to rain. It poured
and we left completely wet. We tried lots of people and most of them were not
home. We had dinner with the Strubs. They are two history students and know
lots of history and can talk about any history event. We had an awesome lesson
with Sean. We taught him about how Faith and being obedient to the
commandments. Then you faith will
grow. He gave us a large bag of candy like 115 pieces. Elder
Weatherford ripped open the bag when we got home and the candy went every where.
Thursday, Halloween!! We saw the Biggs,
we taught them about being member missionary and how to share the gospel. We
got a referral from other missionaries to see James. He is a bus driver for the
Metro. He had talked to missionaries that had been on his bus. We taught him
about the restoration and left him with a Book of Mormon. We had dinner
with the Sloops. They are a couple that is in there 80's. They made us
Spaghetti and bread. We also had Ice cream and hot cookies. They sent us
home with tons of candy. We couldn't go out and see people, so we all 4 elders
went to David's place. We played hangman with him using names from the Book of
Mormon.
Friday, we had district meeting. Elder
Weatherford did the training on the Holy Ghost. We then went on Exchanges with
Kc3rd. Elder Thomas came to stay with me in our area. We tracked a lot and had
an appointment with Mike. We answered his questions on baptism. He is an
interesting person. We had dinner with Sister Gay. We had Chinese food.
Kay was sick so we didn't have a lesson after dinner. We couldn't find any one
home.
Saturday we exchanged back in the morning. We
had correlation with Bro Belliston. We were able to find lots of people home.
We found some new investigators. We had dinner with Sister Hernandez. She has a
next-door neighbor that is interested in our church. We were able to teach her
a lesson after dinner. We had all 4 elder there since there were no males
there. It was weird to teach with 3 other Elders all at one time. We also went
to the house of a member that just moved in. She wanted her house blessed. It
was my first time participating in blessing a home.
Sunday, It was Fast Sunday. We had 3 of our
investigators at church. Elder Weatherford and I taught Sunday school to the 13
year olds all the way up to the 18 year olds. We taught them about being
Self reliant and about missions. After church we played Tracto with the Elders
in the district. It is like bingo just you do it while tracking. I was fun to
play. We knocked on lots of doors
and met some weird people. We had
dinner with Orts. They made Hawaiian haystacks. It was great.
This week was a great week we taught lots of
lessons and did some service. This area is growing we are getting lots of
people to teach. I am exited for tomorrow when we have a special training by
president. We will teach us what he learned from the mission president
training. The weather is so nice now. The trees are turning colors. I
love it here. I miss you all and hope you are doing great,
Love,
Elder
Benjamin Allen
