This week has been good! To start off, last Monday night we went to dinner at the Vivona's. They are members in the ward who feed us every 3rd Monday and have us stay for FHE with them and their 2 daughters and their families. It is fun and I have really enjoyed getting to know this family! They are the ones who fed us Chicken Roll-Ups so...yeah...they are pretty great! Anyway, they had us over for dinner and we carved pumpkins with them! It was fun to participate in this fall tradition with them and to get to know them all better. I gutted the pumpkin and Sister Francis carved it since she hates the smell and the inside guts. We carved a Mickey Mouse pumpkin! It was a fun night.
This week we have done a lot of work with some less-active members. Mostly just getting to know them better and trying to figure out how we, as well as the ward, can help them. There are so many different people here in Fishers all with different struggles. It has been good to start forming this relationship with them. This one less-active just finished chemo-therapy and will be starting radiation soon. She is so sweet and is only 27. Her 2 daughters aren't members so we want to start teaching them and working to reactivate her. She is really struggling with all of it, feeling like one thing after another just keeps hitting her. Ah! She just needs to come to church! I know that it will help her so much!
As well as less-active members, we have been working with active members as well. Getting to know them and help them see that we are normal people, not missionary robots. It has been great to start to form different relationships with different families in the ward. Members really are the key to missionary work. This one Mia Maid in the ward was sitting at school and her teacher knew she was a member and started asking her about the church. This young women started telling her that we have this book that is just another testament of Jesus Christ and told her she could bring her a copy if she would like! So today the girl took the Book of Mormon to give to this teacher! It is so great to see the youth get involved in missionary work as well because they really do interact with more nonmembers than adults.
I love you all and thanks for all the love and support! Keep praying for those missionary opportunities! I would love to hear what experiences you have from them! Don't forget to write! And have a Happy Halloween this Thursday!! :)
