Hey Everybody!
This
week has been great! It started out a little rough and I got a little
homesick but I am feeling great now and am loving the work! It has been
raining or cloudy pretty much every day I have been here. Super cold
too!! Sometimes it gets painful when I'm on a bike haha, Oh well! All
part of the experience right?
Our investigators are all super awesome! We had a lesson with a
couple this week(Brad & Liz) and invited them to be baptized. She
seemed like she wanted to and got a little excited about it so that was
awesome! He straight up told us "honestly no" I appreciate his honesty
haha.
Another one of our investigators is named Tina. Her husband is a
member and that whole family is just awesome! She believes in the
church and has a strong testimony. She has even done a ton of
missionary work! She pretty much got her son to be baptized even though
she technically isn't a member yet haha She has been taught by
missionaries a lot before but didn't feel like she was getting as much
out of it as she wanted too. She told us if she can understand things
better she will get baptized. I really hope we can teach her in a way
that she can understand everything.
I have really learned that if you put aside all of your feelings
and just focus on the work and on other people you will find happiness
in missionary work. I am so thankful to be here in Alabama!
I hope you all have a great week and an awesome Christmas season!
Love, Elder Whetten
