HOLD THE PHONE. IT'S MY 6 MONTH MARK TODAY! I'VE BEEN IN NORTH CAROLINA,
OUT IN THE FIELD, FOR 6 MONTHS!!! Whattttt?! I have no idea where the time is
going...but it's flying somewhere! Wowza. That's crazy.
Anywho.
This week was pretty good. It was a slower week. But that's just because
Sister Peterson was not feeling good AT ALL. Seriously...she was in the bathroom
for majority of the week. Ahh not good. But we worked when we could! I also
didn't want to push her too hard....but I probably did haha. Whoops. She's been
sick for a week, has gotten 2 priesthood blessings and she still isn't feeling
that great....so prayers would be wonderful for her :)
A big thing that happened this week though was right after district meeting
on Wednesday. We (Sister Peterson and I) both received some revelation for our
area and after much pondering and prayer, we decided that we were going to wipe
our investigator board. We thought about it and none of our investigators are
progressing. And we need to be spending our time looking for the people that are
ready to hear the gospel and WILL progress. So we decided that in order to make
time for that we needed to stop focusing on the investigators that we were
working with and start fresh. So that's exactly what we did! We took our
whiteboard cloth and literally wiped our investigator board clean. This week is
dedicated to finding the elect.
We're excited to get to
work and find those people that WANT to come closer to Christ :) So if y'all
want to pray for the people in our area and that we'll be able to find those
that are ready to hear the gospel as well that would be wonderful! Thank
you!
We made cookies with
Sister Horn to give to less active people in Ft. Bragg and Fayetteville 3. And
right quick before I go on, these cookies are the best cookies in the world. The
recipe is called "Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies" and it's not lying. They are
literally perfect. Like too legit to quit. PERFECT. I'll send you the recipe one
of these days and y'all will have to try it out! SO GOOD. Okay anyway, we
delivered first to Fay 3 and let me tell you. We had 5 bags of cookies to give
to 5 different families. Well, we only gave 2 bags of cookies to the families
that they were intended for. The rest went to people we just met. No one
answered their door and we would always find someone outside as we turned around
and were walking to our car. So instead of going straight to the car and driving
away, we went and talked to the ladies that we saw. We met an 82 year old lady,
an 81 year old lady, and a 74 year old lady! (All at different times) It was so
much fun getting to know them and talking to them! I just love old ladies aha
they're just so sweet and funny and they have the best stories! I love it :) So
we could potentially have 2 new investigators this week! The 74 year old is a
strong baptist lady....so it'll take some time to soften her heart towards the
church. But one day!! :) The other 2 ladies told us they would love for us to
come back :) So that was awesome!
Like I said, it's been a slower week so I don't have a whole lot to report
on! I hope you all had a wonderful week and I hope this next one is even better
:) Always remember that I love you to pieces, but God loves you even
more!!
Love and miss you all. Take care! And keep smiling!
MUCH LOVE,
Sister Blumel
