Well the story with the horse, we wanted to talk to someone who was on a list of part member families (even though the list hasnt been updated and they are both members now but anyway) We drive and drive way far up this mountain and we finally get there and someone answers the door and we find out that he is house sitting and isnt interested in hearing us, so we asked if he needed help and he said yes the horses have gotten out so will you help me catch them haha so we drove back down the road and we saw the horses so he told us to get out and wait by them while he went and asked the forest service for help (since the horses were behind the fence on their land) so we waited by the horses and fed them grass and stuff then they ran off haha so when the guy came back the horses were gone, well thankfully the daughter in law of these people found out and came and called for the horses and they came back and she took them back to the house, so not the service or the day we planned but hey it was eventful haha
but anyway this week was good Elder Carlos A Godoy from the 70 came and spoke to us at mission tour. this is the second time i have heard him speak and he is so funny. We talked about how in the Book of Mormon they were called to serve in different areas and sometimes the people hated them and sometimes they had great success but no matter what they trusted in the Lord and he helped them with their missionary work then he related that to us.Our mission President talked about how we are emissaries of Jesus Christ, so we are not only representative but as well as agents, so we work for him and whatever we promise is like a promise from him, so it is really cool that we have been trusted to do that, that we can make promises to people that if they keep commitments and follow the commandments then we can give them specific blessings (as directed by the Spirit) that absolutely will happen. because when the Lord is bound he has to do what he says. He HAS to.
This week we were able to do some service for 2 people, we pulled weeds (not the funnest but hey) and helped cut down some trees for the guy who was out of town that we thought was a PM family, he was so nice and funny. We visited Ida an investigator who got pneumonia so is now at a care center, she is doing a lot better and looks pretty healthy, we were able to meet with Less actives and part member families too so it was a good week. We put April on date for the end of the month, she has been taught by missionaries for a long time and said she would pick a date but is still moving at her own pace, so it is a good step forward. It was great to see most of the people we had met with come to church and see their happy faces.
but yeah i cant believe it is summer and a year ago I was graduating and opening my call! time flies
love you and hope you have a good week
-Love
Elder David Witt
