So, this has been a fun, but rough week.
Last week we had a lot of miracles,
investigators and people coming out of nowhere, only to move into this week
where it all fell apart! No one would listen to us at all this week out
finding, all of our appointments fell through, lessons were stood up, just
NOTHING worked out this week. It was flipping lame!!
And O San from last week, is not what we
thought! We were talking to the Bishop about him, and he said the name sounded
familiar. Looks it up, turns out that he got baptized years ago, but then went
inactive and can't really come to church because of a mental illness he
contracted...NEVER would've guessed...Seemed normal enough to me. So that
happened. :P Haha!! But you know what, for all that didn't happen missionary
work wise this week, was well made up for in different ways.
This week Elder B and I were able to
connect really well. We've had some seriously cool, deep, spiritual
conversations, and I've been able to really help him I think. We spent a long
time one planning session talking about having a vision for what you want to
be, and I was just feeling the spirit way strong, and I told him then what I
could see him as: As this really strong, confident powerful missionary, super
capable of doing everything he needs to do out here, and being able to help
lots of people. And it made him cry. I don't know if he's had someone express
that much love and confidence in him on his mission, and it was a really tender
spiritual experience. So this week still ROCKED in my book. It was rough, but
the Lord is blessing me ad my comp, and this area in ways that we don't even
know. :) Thanks for all you're love and support!
Love, Mike
