Can you hear from the 580 of Duncan OK? What's goin on! Good to hear from everyone this week, loved loved loved the emails! Well let's get right to it...
This last week I had 2 migraines again, which was a downer. It's all good though, because I'm determined this week though to not get any! The power of positive thinking! And yes transfers are August 21st. This next week is our last full week of the transfer, it's crazy to think about! Time has flown by so stinkin fast.
The other day I was looking at our board of investigators, and I realized that I've done a poor job at keeping you informed about all of them. At one point we only had one investigator, and now we've been blessed and we've got 10. So here's the quick run down. M. She's been with us for a while and we just had a good lesson with her at the church. Church attendance is our biggest hang up right now because she only feels comfortable coming with A., the LA member she lives with that works on Sundays.
K. is next. He has LA parents that dont want to be members. He's been divorced and wants to get back in touch with his kids, and realizes that getting his life in order is the way to do it. We're trying to help him get to Church as well. Then there's R. He had a date for Aug. 31, but that just dropped because he didn't come to church.
D. is next. We haven't gotten in touch with her for a while, because her daughter just got major surgery and she's been busy taking care of her and going to doc appts, etc. We've been helping her understand how the spirit works with her, and the need to be baptized by someone who holds authority. Really promising... just going to take time.
H. is a lady who goes to the Freedom Biker Church. Our first visit with her she told us it met her spiritual needs for a while, but now she realizes that there must be something more, because she can feel a lacking. J. is a man who got in a car accident years ago, and suffered some brain damage. When we teach him we teach him like a child. However he's accountable, so it's been an interesting experience. He tells us about when he was 14 he went searching for the "right church", because he knew there had to be one. A LA member, who joined in Mexico, is taking care of him. So we get two birds with one stone when we teach him.
The rest live in Waurika. The last two are TK and A. They're friends who ride around on motorized wheelchairs and pick up cans for money. TK, even though she goes to church, we found out has no relationship with God. So we're starting square one with her. A. believes you do good, you go to heaven & "it don't matter what building you worship in."
We had a spirtual lesson about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith, so we're excited to see if she's read. And that's where we're at! It's been a blessing to be able to see the Hand of God is working in our area to hasten his work. I know that as we adhere to his commandments and strive to be exactly obedient, the Lord will provide!
Thank you for your love and support and always being willing to send anything I need out, it's been a great comfort! Love you all and hope you have a stellar week!
Love,
Elder Traasdahl
