I
love working with the members and I think everyone should do it. See if the missionaries
have any investigators and invite them to do lessons in your home. That's
always awesome when we can get investigators into members homes so that the
investigators have familiar faces on Sunday when they go to church. If you see
someone new in the ward, go up to them and talk to them. Our biggest thing is
having fellowship for our investigators and recent converts. Ask your
missionaries what they need, even if it's just something small to you, it's
huge to them. Member missionaries are my favorite people ever!! We went to a
dinner appointment last night and just in casual conversation the mom was
telling us about two families that she wants to share the gospel with and
thinks would love to have the missionaries over. It was awesome, because we
hadn't even asked for referrals and she was giving us people to go see. This
lady is amazing!
The elders had a pretty good idea that we helped them execute. We chose a place to draw out the Plan of Salvation in chalk and wrote "Mormon.org" at the bottom of it. It was really fun to do and I feel like it was a pretty creative way to share the gospel and let people know our beliefs. Hopefully at least one person logged onto Mormon.org because of this.
So my favorite story from this week includes a new born, a mom and two other kids. Sister Thorup got permission to go down to her first area, Greenville, for a baptism. She took her old companion because they are the ones who found this guy and taught him. We did an exchange and I stayed here in Vestavia Hills with another sister. Sister Gustafson and I were walking the aisles of Wal-Mart looking for people to talk to and we turned the corner {into the cookie aisle} and saw this huge MOUNTAIN of food right in the middle of it. Turns out, this mountain was actually in a cart and a little mother holding a new born with two other children around her legs was trying to push it. So of course we ask her if she would like us to push it for her around the store. I wish we had found her sooner because she had just finished and was heading to checkout. We had to start loading another cart while the first one was unloaded onto the conveyor belt. This little momma spent $636 on groceries for her kiddos. Long back story short, after living with her brother, they were all evicted, they haven't had much food the past several weeks and her car is acting up so she's worried it won't start again and she won't make it to the store to get food. This sweet little woman was doing all she knew how to provide for her three little ones. She doesn't want them to go hungry so she loaded that cart as full as she could possibly get it. We've set up a teaching appointment for this Wednesday and I can't wait!
