LEAF out distractions and focus on things that matter most

Wowzers its already November, it was November last time I emailed but hey It came up fast and before we know it it will be gone! anyway

this week was a good week

We went up to white sulphur springs, we cover that area too (there are like 20 people who show up for church and we meet in the community building, weird but it works) 

Anyway Michael Walth, is a husband of a member who was just reactivated and Is now taking the discussions, He is also on date for the 19th of December so that is some exciting news! The members taught the lesson and it was all over the place so it wasnt what we wanted..but it ended up being okay ha  

Dylan is doing awesome and is just progressing well, we are looking forward to his baptism in a couple weeks! 

Good news is Elder Decker and I are staying here another transfer so that is exciting! finally I will be in an area for more than just a couple of weeks! haha 

We have driven a lot this week for baptismal interviews and such for other missionaries in our district,(side note it is awesome to hear peoples testimonies when they are being interviewed, people are being prepared so well!) so we are limited on miles so we rode our bikes the other night (it was chilly!) and we passed by a members home on the way to dinner and felt like we should stop there after dinner. So we did (the member we ate dinner with put our bikes in his truck and we went and got our car haha) and when we got there she was super happy to see us and we had a great discussion about our Savior Jesus Christ and all of the things that he did for us. Then she gave us 2 referrals, one was her son a less active and the other was a friend who said she had had missionaries there before but wasn't too interested but it was quite some time ago. So that was awesome! We got a referral and helped her feel the Spirit more powerfully it was cool! 

When on exchanges a couple weeks ago Elder Decker and the missionary he was with went tracting, when they knocked on a door and the lady was not a very nice lady haha (of course this is a rare occasion..:)) but then Elder Decker felt prompted to ask if she would be interested in some service. Which she was. So we went over to her house this week and raked her leaves. and boy was this the BIGGEST leaf pile I have ever seen in my LIFE! in my life! But we finished and said well we dont have enough bags for these leaves so we will find someone with a truck to come pick them up in a couple days. While we were in her house she had us hang up a picture and proceeded to talk to us for 30 minutes about her life and we talked about the Plan of Salvation and such and we said hey we will have to come back over some other time and talk more and she said oh yeah that would be fine! SO it was cool to see her heart change. Even if she doesnt want to hear more, the positive impact it had on her was great, and the many people that drove by saw us too so service is awesome! 

our leaf pile

 her daughter came and we helped fill up bags the next day... bags for dayzz! 

oh yeah we posted on facebook some things 


my post was "LEAF out distractions and focus on things that matter most"

Elder Deckers was "dive into the gospel"  haha it was great

I love being a missionary, it brings so much joy and not only in helping others come unto Christ but myself as well. I love this gospel and the truthfulness it has especially when we apply it's principles.

Love you all and hope you have a great week! 


Love 

Elder David Witt
