HEY HEY everyone! This week was a super busy week and on top of that IT SNOWED.
: We went down to South Charleston for our p-day and we seriously had so much time on our hands, after getting everything done, it was freaking us out! So we went and got some cute WV necklaces and basically went window shopping a lot. :) Then we got to help out with the first wards "Nativities around the World". It was super fun!! :)
TUESDAY: We met with Brenda Anderson, that less active we randomly found last week, she is super sweet! She remembers everything so clearly and loves the Book of Mormon! We also ate dinner with the suttles, we challenged them to hand out a Book of Mormon and they were a little leary about it but were up for the challenge! We saw Linda and we watched the restoration video with her! She is slow progressing but she's progressing. We can tell she feels something different when we come over but we don't think she can nail down what it is yet. Then we went over to Cheryls.
We talked about baptism and confirmation with her and we showed her Elder Bednars videos about the spirit and she really really liked it. Funny moment, I asked Cheryl if she had any cute skirts I could have because I had a big day
tomorrow and she goes "YOU HAVE A DATE?" and we just busted up laughing and I told her no, but that
tomorrow was my last zone conference as a missionary and I wanted a new skirt for it. We found one thankfully after some trial and error. lol.
WEDNESDAY: Zone Conference day!!! My last one.
Me and Sister Stettler sat by each other and basically just cried the entire time. We learned a lot about the Book of Mormon and how it should be our main tool in finding people to teach. President gave us some time to play games so we played a Mormon game with the sisters and then we played Jenga with some of the elders! Way fun!!! President had me get up and give my departing testimony as well. We had dinner and coordination at the Haupts that day too. :)
THURSDAY: We weekly planned! (Side note: I only have like three or four of those left! YESSS!) We went and tried some investigators and potentials, and we ended up teaching a man named Charlie. We were just gonna do a quick restoration lesson with him but he ended up having such good questions that we were there for a little bit! We also taught Jonathan! We got him back on date and we taught him about the word of wisdom and law of chastity! He actually accepted it all really well and he understood the why behind it! He was explaining the why for it all to us during the lesson, it was awesome! :) The spirit always is so strong there, the next thing we need to figure out is how to help him recognize that. :)
FRIDAY: We had district meeting, it was kinda a crazy one because we had lots of new senior couples in the office. We went and stopped by Sister Calhoons. She didnt look very happy to see us, but she softened her heart while we talked to her and she ended up being very happy that we came over! We had dinner at the Kellers home. And we went and taught Daizy! We went over the baptismal questions with her and set up an interview time! She is so ready for baptism. She knows what everything is! I'm so excited for her!! Then we also went and helped out with the "Nativites around the World" again!
SATURDAY: So this day started out really stressful and not very good...but it ended up being awesome! We were in the South Charleston parade with the first ward and it was SO MUCH FUN! We handed out so many Light The World cards, it was awesome!! We went and tried some potentials, investigators, and formers in the second ward area, not much luck. But we saw the Groses for a little bit and it was really really good! :) We got to serve them a little bit and lighten their load in this Christmas season. We met an investigator that the elders had been mistakenly been teaching in our area and, then while we were at the second ward christmas party, we got handed another investigator that they had been teaching as well! The Lord is blessing us in finding other ways! :) (THIS IS THE DAY IT SNOWED.)
SUNDAY: We went to church at the first ward, and man it is always so good to go back to that ward!
We also had Daizy's baptismal interview and she PASSED! So we are having another baptism!!!! :) She will be getting baptized on the
23rd of December. :) She is so so excited and so are we! I got a blessing from the Sissonville elders for healing (because i've been sick), and I got promised some really cool blessings, especially in this transition period that I'm in. It always amazes me with priesthood blessings how these men who carry the priesthood have no idea what is going on in my head or anything like that but always through the spirit tell me what God needs me to know. What a blessing it is to have the priesthood so close around me, and in my own family. After that, Sister Jefferies made me go home and rest.
Sorry we have been super super bad at taking pictures! We have a new resolve to take more, I promise!!
We got chased by a couple dogs. If you know me, you know that that was super fun for me.
Anyways, I'm super stoked for the week ahead and for the blessings and miracles we will recieve as we change and become more like our Saviour!
I have a testimony of the Book of Mormon and the truthfulness of its divine message. I have a testimony of the Lord's true church and gospel and I love sharing the good news ALL DAY LONG.
I LOVE YOU ALL TO THE MOON AND BACK!
Sister Schoemig
