Dear Family,
This last week was pretty great. We were able to meet with a lot of less active members of the branch this week. Nothing too big really happened there.
We were able to meet with Stephen again, he wasn't doing really good. He had missed church last week and seemed to be spiraling, more on that later.
We met with Charlie. He is doing well, pretty sure we will have to move his baptism back at least a few weeks.
We were not able to meet with the Vorhees. Hopefully we can tomorrow night. Everyone just seems to be getting soo busy!
On Friday we meet with a new investigator named Katlin. She bought us lunch at a diner then politely bashed with us for quite some time. We just ate and nodded our heads after a while. I still don't understand how someone could think you just need to accept Christ as your savior then just sit back.... Blows my mind.
We helped out Bruce on Saturday again. Built some massive planter boxes out of treated 6x6's, it was good to do some service, then he bought us a bunch of organic groceries. He is pretty awesome.
Sunday was pretty awesome. We had a missionary Sunday. So I gave a prayer and Sister Haas gave a prayer, Elder Shaw spoke and so did Sister Menlove. Brother Johnson, the branch mission leader also spoke. They all spoke a lot about having members help the missionaries and it worked. Right after we got 2 referrals.
Stephen came to church on Sunday and he was like a changed man. He just looked better. He realized how much he needs church on Sunday to help him throughout his week and after sacrament said he was going to try and find more people his age to come to church with him! It was awesome!
Well that's pretty much all that went on this week. Love you all!
Elder Parker
