So crazy awesome week! This has to be the best week I have had so far in Coquitlam! So much fun!
Wellll, for starters, do you guys remember that lady that I ended up on singing the spirit of god as well as Joseph Smiths first Prayer with? Wellllllll, SHE GOT BAPTIZED THIS PAST WEEK!!! Gah!!! It makes me so happy! She is so good! Talk about awesome member work! It’s all because this member was so on about doing his missionary work that this happened! I PROMISE!!! IT DOES WORK!!! Besides the baptism, which is by far the best thing that could possibly ever happen, we were able to see a lot of progress in the area! We made huge leaps and bounds from last week!
Lisa is one of them! She is this super cool single mom that was just waiting for us to come to her door! She had just recently lost her mother, wants to find a purpose in life, and even wants to come to church! Sad part was that she was not able to make it this past week because of work but she is so GOOD!!!!
Another is this guy named Andrew and we are still determining his accountability, but he is so nice! Has a good heart and wants to change! We only got to see Greg once this past week...our poor member though. We were meeting Greg at Como Lake and there really is not any protection there. So we forgot to tell our member (Freyden) that we would be outside and all he had on were shorts and a t shirt. Well, he basically froze to death almost. It was windy and pouring rain out, and we taught almost half of the plan of salvation, so that takes a little bit haha!
Well, freaky part of the week...after that lesson with Greg we had a return appointment set up right after with this guy named Ed. Earlier that day I had mass texted everyone in our phone if they were down to meet. Well he had called us back saying that he wanted to. So Freyden came with us, and we got lost along the way. Well we finally get there and the place is like super quiet....like creepy quiet. Well, we go to Ed’s house, and he told us to go and meet him at the gazebo behind it. Well there is this guy smoking up a storm on his e-cig sittin there...We started talking to him for a little bit and he was acting kind of funny, but, he said we could sit down, but before we do that, we have to sign in at some house....We thought that that was kind of weird, but we go and do it anyway. Well, long story short, we figure out why we did not feel the spirit there..... WE ARE IN A FREAKING INSANE CLINIC!!! GAH!!! So we think of what we should do and all and that’s when this big really nice guy pops out of the building that we were walking by and shouted out that he was Ed! So that was a fun lesson...
It was still a good week though! I may be hungry. And I may be tired all the time, but it is so worth it! AND I CANT BELIEVE THAT BRENDA GOT BAPTIZED!! GAH!!! SO GOOD!!!
Sure love yalll!
