We have had a big push in the mission to teach when you find and we took that and ran with it and thanks to my fearless blue for stopping everyone under the sun we were able to double the amount of lessons we had, almost tripled actually and it was incredible:) we worked really really hard, and we were even out Thursday because we had district meeting:) But the push was to reach our standards of excellence and we did and it was so amazing:)
When you are able to hit everything in missionary work, working with members, less actives, recent converts, and finding, those are the best days/weeks:) It is cool to see how it all works out! We have three miracle less active part member families that we are now working with and hopefully by the end of next week 6 kids engaged to
baptism!!! Between the ages of 9 and 15. It is absolutely insane! We have the family we have been working with, and the other two on their own initiative showed up at church and called us asking to fix rendez vous so we could start teaching their kids because they said they know they need to come back to church! It was so sweet:) We haven't been able to contact either of these families for years now and all of a sudden the miracle of them just coming up to us was insane! I couldn't believe it at first haha but I am so excited they are there:) This week is transfers and one big reason I want to stay is to continue and start working with these families but I have been in Poitiers for what feels like forever now so I don't know... We will see Friday!
This week the office elders drove up and brought us the rest of the furniture we needed and the sweet elders stayed for six hours to put everything together for us, we helped of course but the heavy and big stuff they needed to do. They were here until almost midmight! They were exhausted but they are seriously the best:) Although we were exhausted because the next morning we had to get up at 5 to catch our first out of two trains to go to district meeting and that was really hard but great because district meeting was amazing:)
At district meeting we talked about rising to our call and finding those lost sheep that are in our sectors. Because we are the only missionaries for hours it is completely our responsibility to find those who are ready and to work with them. But if we don't find them it is on us. We played a silly blind fold game where we had to find the sheep but blindfolded because we hadn't sincerely prayed for the lords help and then we did it again like we had prayed with our eyes open and there were signs pointing the way to the sheep;p it was pretty funny because they were playing the sheep noise from the Joseph Smith video but it didn't really sound like a sheep haha I will send
it home to you so you can hear and just listen to it without looking at the screen because it is funny xD
This week something cool that happened while we were contacting was we contacted into a slack liner (like tight rope walking) and his mom and we started asking him questions about it and he let us try! It was super fun:) haha xD I want one when I get home:) Joe and Josh you would love it!
Thats it for this week I think, have an amazing labor day:)
Love,
Sister Beatty
