Monday: We went and saw the Mouls. We talked about Jesus Christ coming to the Americas and we read a chapter from his ministry here. It was such a solid lesson. They are amazing! And then we saw Sister Andrews, we watched Finding Faith in Christ with her. She really loved it and couldn't understand why people would want to kill Jesus Christ. Like same sister, I don't understand. But it was a way good lesson as well!!
Tuesday: We saw Jessica Hensley, a lady my trainer found while she was in Charleston, we taught her the restoration and she said she knows what we teach is true! #miracles We are gonna be working with her closely, I hope! We saw Sister Payne, and we taught her about missionary work. :) We also saw Wanda Gore again, and we are never going back. (if that tells you anything bout how the lesson went) We could literally feel the spirit leave us as soon as we entered her house. She just talked at us for an hour about how we needed to pray and ask God what was true and how she thinks everything we teach is not true. But we could barely get a word in edgewise, so we just bore our testimonies and left. My testimony was definitely strengthened by the fact that I felt such a difference when the spirit was with me and when it wasn't. It was seriously the weirdest feeling to not have it with me, I never ever want to go without it again. We taught Sis Gordon about keeping the sabbath day holy. And then we had extra time at the end of the night so we tracted a little and this lady answered the door and said "I never open the door for strangers this late, but come on in!" We hadnt even told her who we were...but we went in and sat down and I asked her about this basketball she had in a glass case and she told me all about how she knows Jerry West. I was like whoa. My little bros would love this. But we taught her about the restoration and she said she was actually going through something and she'd love to read the book of mormon, she handed us some muffins and cupcakes and sent us home. It was so cool!!
Wednesday: SISTER PAULSON'S 20TH BIRTHDAY!!! We saw Elijah again!! We taught him about the plan of salvation and invited him to be baptized on October 28th! He said he would!! He is super awesome. :) He called us today and set up another appointment when he found out his work schedule, I'm excited!! basically everything fell through on us that day, but it was still a killer day! :) We taught Brother Carr about the gospel of Jesus Christ. His heart is definitely softening. IM SO EXCITED.
Thursday: Weekly planning. My favorite. Haha. We taught the stones about the plan of salvation. We ate dinner at the Jones. I LOVE THIS FAMILY. We had an amazing lesson with them where we talked about what they can do to help these potentials we have to learn about the gospel. They were like so excited to help us out and they are just the best. #goals We saw Sister Andrews again and we read from the book of mormon with her and talked about how she needs to start reading it. She knows she needs to. We taught Sister Minnich at the church about Spiritual CPR (church prayer reading). She is just soaking it all in! :) We tracted in the rain a little that night.
Friday: We taught Sister Payne about service by reading in the book of mormon about Ammon and King Lamoni. I think she really liked it! It was different that what we had been doing with her, and she really learned a lot! We had district meeting. #awkwardasalways We saw Brother Cupit and we finished the plan of salvation. Super spiritual as always. He is just the coolest man ever. <3 We saw Sister Mullins and we talked about baptism and confirmation and she just loved it! We also saw Debra Jones, we talked about baptism and confirmation, and we put her on date for November 4th! :) She was so into that lesson, it was amazing!!
Saturday: We found a cute old man named Raymond. He had lots of good questions and was excited for us to come back! We taught Sister Scott, and based on that lesson, decided that we'd give her a scripture to read and when she has finished it told her to call us. We arent sure she's ready to come back to church yet. So we are leaving it all up to her. We taught Sister New about baptism and confirmation. :)
Sunday: Church!!! It was full of people giving us food, the elders pretending to be baby ducks, and President telling us goodbye by saying "SEE YA LATER MORMONS!" it was funny! I <3 this ward. We really got down and dirty when planning our zone conference. It was so cool. We had planned this whole segment, but something wasn't sitting right with me. So we took a water break and then prayed for our minds to be opened to what we actually needed to do. And as soon we did that, the ideas started flowing! I'm super excited for this segment we will teach! :) Its gonna be great! #exactobedience We taught the Mouls! We talked about the spirit with them and how we get answers and what it feels like. We asked them what they feel like when they are at church and when we come over and they both said calm and happy. :) They are getting there!! PROGRESS. Felicia read all the way up to 2nd Nephi, and Nathan read some of 3rd Nephi! :) We also contacted this referral from the zone leaders. It was way in the holler but we met this cute little Vietnamese lady and she told us to come back in the daytime! It was super awesome but kinda sketch. :)
Today we took naps to start our P-day off. #blessed
So this week me and sister paulson were talking about how it would be really funny to name one of her kids Banjo, but how much more funny it would be if he was an avid flute player. We talked about how funny that conversation would go....
Human: Whoa, your name is Banjo? Do you play the Banjo?
Banjo: I PLAY THE FLUTE, NOT THE BANJO.
Human: Just play your flute, Banjo!!
Well, I am just LOVING Charleston so much! I love Sister Paulson. I love my family. I love this Gospel. I love the Lord. I LOVE EVERYTHING.
till next week,
I LOVE YOU ALL TO THE MOON AND BACK.
Sister Schoemig
