Hello Everyone!
The last couple of days its been a bit stormy here. There have been tornado warnings and its rained and thundered and been windy. But we are safe so far. Yesterday we only had sacrament in Brunswick, and then everyone went home early. It was funny, because a lot of the less active members decicded to come that day. It rained super crazy hard in the evening. We have a lot of people to teach here, but its really hard to get a hold of them. A lot of them have multiple jobs or work many hours. A lot dont keep their appointments, so often we drop by and hope they are home. Sister Elwell and I had a LOT of lessons this week! Our district held an experiment where we didnt focus on key indicators, but on goals to help people. Anyway, one day we had 11 other lessons! thats a lot! But the spirit was stronger when we were able to focus on helping people come closer to Jesus Christ. There is so much transitioning in the mission and learning, especially since sister Elwell and I are new. We are hoping our investigator, Greyland, will be able to be baptized in a few weeks, he has such a strong faith! This week will be a world wide missionary broadcast, it will be really exciting to hear what they have to say. Its kinda hard to learn so much at once, but I've noticed ive been able to do more, little by little. Our ward mission leader told us to be proactive, not reactive. Being a proactive person means you are going to take initiative to go where you need to be. Thats really the kind of person I want to be. Sister Elwell and I both liked that a lot. We really think alike on a lot of things, and she thinks we are both practically the same person, haha. Preach My Gospel, I have found that to be an amazing resource, it has so much wisdom and so much to learn in it, you could read it all day. Something else I have been learning is that people will be interested in what you have to say, if you show them how important it is. Be upfront with the wonderful message you have to share. Below is a pic of Sister Elwell, an investigator named Brandon, and I. My favorite scripture is 2 Nephi 2:27 "Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself."
So choose what you want, and who you are going to be. You have the power of choice.
Love, Sister Prue
