How are you?!?!?! I hope you all had a great week! I know we did! it was a good week where we did some more teaching, finding, and fun! :)
To start off, we got a new investigator! She is pretty awesome! She has gone through a lot in her life and is dating a less-active in the Branch. She is really in need of the gospel and is pretty open to learning and listening to what we have to share with her. She has had Mormon friends before but doesn't remember all that they have shared with her, so she has some questions. She really wants to start coming out to church! I think that this will be a pretty solid one, what we are trying to do now is find out a way to be able to teach her and her boyfriend at the same time and work on reactivating him too. It would be so great to be able to work that out and help them see how the gospel will bless their relationship! We also had a cool experience with another investigator this week! She is from China and has been praying about whether or not to be baptized. She likes learning and meeting with us but her parents don't want her to join the church so she is torn between what to do. We met with her on Friday and talked about the Holy Ghost. It was pretty cool too because there was a baptism on Saturday that we were able to invite her to! She was super excited to come and see what a baptism was like and told us that she was excited all day Saturday! I was standing next to her at the baptism and she was just so happy! We explained some things after and talked with her a bit about how she felt and what she thought! she told us that baptism was a good thing. She really enjoyed being there and was able to feel something there! Sadly, we won't be able to meet with her this week because she has to go up to Indy for something but are excited to give her a church tour next week so she can get back into the building and feel that spirit there again!
This week we also have been trying a new way of finding. We went through the branch list and have marked all the less-actives in Greencastle and are going to visit all of them, then move on to the less-actives in the other towns. We have a lot of them in the branch and really want to figure out why. We have a couple members who want to help us contact them and are pretty excited to see what this will bring! We have met lots of nonmember family members of the less-actives and feel like we will be able to do a lot of good with this idea! It will be good. This Sunday as a mission we are going to be fasting together. The fast is for every unit to be able to find a family. It will be a special day and I feel like it will really help and bless the mission and help us find those who are prepared to receive the gospel!
we did some service on Saturday at a members and we helped them cut up logs to prepare for winter! It was fun to use the log splitter and also to watch the trees come falling down! There was one tree that would not come down! It was very stubborn and thought it could get caught on the tree behind it instead of come down! It was pretty funny. It finally came down though once they started pulling it with a tractor and had someone cut while it happened. Who know tree cutting could bring so much entertainment!
I love you all and hope that you are all doing well! Have a wonderful week and remember that there is a missionary in Indiana who loves you! :)
love,
Sister Abbie London
