Hello Family!!
Ok so I thought I would share my daily schedule with you and a summary of our investigators.
My Daily Schedule--
A typical day in Southport--
Wake up at 6:15. Pray and put on our clothes
6:30-
Work out at our gym. We've been benching, lifting weights. Push ups.
Sit ups. Planks. Squats I'm sore basically every day :p
7- Return back to the apartment. Shower. Breakfast.
8- Personal Study
9-Companionship Study
10-
Start proselyting. We try to have appointments but if we don't, we stop
by Potentials, less Actives, and Formers in several places-- Oak Island,
Southport, Bolivia, or Boiling Spring Lakes
12- Come back for Lunch
1- Go back out. Again, we try to
fill our time with appointments. So if we have those, we'll usually go
to that area and then after the appointment we'll check out potentials,
less actives, and formers in the area.
5- come back for dinner
6- go back out once again. Around
this time is really hard. It's dark, so you can't really go out and
proselyte. So typically when we schedule an appointment it will be for
now.
8- Come back to the apartment, update our area book, make phone calls
9- Plan for tomorrow
9:30- Write in my journal then go to bed.
10:30 Elder Thornton wakes me up and we have companionship prayer, personal prayer, then go to sleep. :)
Our Investigators--
K- She's the one we found back in November.
She has a testimony, she wants to be baptized. The thing with her
Grandparents has been resolved, the only issue now is she is living with
a male roommate. It's just for money, they aren't a couple, so it isn't
a violation of the Law of Chastity, but for "appearance of evil" sakes
for the baptismal interview she will have to move out or find a new
roommate. She isn't willing to do that because her lease is up in
February, and she graduates in May. So she's only going to be living
here for another 5 months so it would be difficult to find a roommate
for only 5 months... So were working, but she has a great testimony :)
M- She's an older lady. She lives with her
brother, who is a member. Most of her family is members. She has great
faith in Jesus Christ, and has a desire to be baptized. She has one of
those family edition Book of Mormons, like the one we used to read from.
She has a baptismal date for the end of January, but it will probably
be pushed back because she hasn't been to church yet. But She's
basically set :)
L- L has been taught twice over the past two
months. We see her every day, but she's too busy to have lessons. When
we do finally find opportunities to teach her, though, she loves the
lessons.
C- She's 14 and has been taking the lessons on
and off over the past 4 years. She loves young womens, but she has a
hard time getting to church.
T-- Ok so we're now teaching D's son,
A, as well as D. We're hoping that if they progress together, he
will progress. We had a great lesson with them yesterday. We've been
doing a lot of work with A, and he's progressing really well.
Nicki-- This is Sister Cs son. We only recently
picked him up as an investigator. He wants to be a deacon, his mom makes
him come to church. He's 11. He's been sick over the past week or so, so we
haven't been able to teach him recently. But His mom is a member, and he
seems to have a desire, so we're excited for him :)
The Ls-- This was the family that just moved
in. S, the grandmother, got baptized December 16th in the other
ward, and they moved in about 3 days ago. We helped them move in, taught
a lesson on the 5th. The mother, J, wants to be baptized. She just
needs to quit smoking.
Hopefully we can help this whole family :)
Last family-- The Bs. We stopped by this family
last night. They're former investigators. They were really nice! She's
going to a church right now, but isn't completely sold on it. He has
concerns with churches the preach, but don't live what they preach.
Hopefully we can help him there :) He also has a concern with Organized
churches. He worries about a prophet who directs the ENTIRE church. I
think we helped resolve that concern a little bit though. They seem
really nice! But we've really only just met them.
Sorry, I sort of spent all my time on those. Haha. But I'll tell you about my week in my letter :) Deal?
I love you family!! Have a wonderful week!! Pray and read!! It's amazing!! :)
Hurrah For Israel!!!!
