What is going on everybody🤙🏽 This past week was a busy one filled with yard work, lessons and the coming of a new month (the best month ha) But really, this past week was nice because I guess you can say that we are officially out of quarantine! I can finally check off that box on my bucket list that says, "sit inside for 11 months" haha. It's honestly quite the accomplishment if I must say haha jokes.
There is this lady that we have been talking to on the phone for about a month now and we were finally able to meet her in person. She wanted to meet us at a diner because it was next door to her work. Now a little background, we as missionaries still can't eat with people just because of covid restrictions. We pulled up to the diner, called her to let her know we were there, and then she said "come inside we are here with your dessert." On our way to the door I started thinking of "excuses" I could say that would allow me to not eat any of the desserts. We sat down and talked with her and her husband and they are the sweetest couple. They are in the 60's about and are really interested in finding a new church. We had a nice conversation with them about what we as missionaries do, and what our beliefs are. Then the moment came we were hoping wouldn't come. They asked us to go look at the dessert counter and grab one. Long story short, I told them I was gluten free (got me out of it no problemo haha) unfortunately Elder Glauser couldn't get out of it so he had to eat a dessert Haha.
Two of our friends came to church and it was awesome! One of them wants to get baptized here in the next couple weeks which is exciting and our other friend is close to baptism. The work in our area is picking up pace. We have a solid teaching pool filled with some awesome people.
Another highlight was getting to do some good ol' yard work on a Saturday morning. I never thought I would say this but it was nice being able to mow a lawn and wack some weeds haha. -Pro tip: never buy a plug in lawn mower or weed wacker.- We got in contact with this lady because she saw one of our service ads that we out out on facebook. She has some health problems that constricts her from doing lots of things like yard work. Before we got started on the yard it looked like it hadn't been touched in a years. Everything was over grown and there was stuff everywhere. But no need to worry because we got that yard lookin nice and perdy. It always brings joy into my life being able to help people out like that and seeing the joy that comes into their lives from it.
Here's a little Scripture:
Isaiah 40:31
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
Trust in the Lord Y'all!
Well that's the week. Pretty darn awesome one aye!? Remember to keep on smiling and make it a good week
