| Hello from Dumbarton Castle! |
This week flew by! A complete blur! I feel like I just sent last week's update yesterday! So this week was good. We have had a lot of time to find this week, and it has been great!
We also went on exchanges this week, and
got to see a bit more of the Zone. So that was really good. You always learn
some good stuff on exchanges. We also started to go through our area book and did
try by’s to all the formers that we can, and see if it is their time to learn
about the restored gospel. We put together a list to kind of start us off, and
we spent a day going by some. It was really good. It was nice to meet people
that at least know the missionaries, and you don't have to spend a ton of time
explaining who you are on the doorstep. Most of them open the door and they're
like, "Oh, you guys!" So it has been good this week.
It is starting to warm up here, and we
are on the cusp of spring! So I am excited for that! It gets lighter and
lighter every day! And it is so nice still having light at 6 o’clock!
I did learn something this week. While
doing our try by's, we knocked on the door of a lady that had met missionaries
in the past, and decided to stop investigating because she had some issues with
things. When we knocked on her door, she was happy to see us, but didn't want
to continue investigating. It was the classic, "Why does God let bad
things happen to good people?" issue. We tried to talk to her about how
people do things to others, and God lets that happen because we all have our
agency, but she just wasn't having it. After walking away, we slipped a note
through her door that said, "God loves you". We don't know what came
from it, but we did know that God loved this person.
God loves all his children, and we
should, too. We know that bad things happened, but if they never happened, we
would never know what good is like. We would never know sweet, having never
tasted bitter. Opposition in all things is part of the plan, and there would be
no growth with it. I know it can be a hard thing to swallow, but the Holy Ghost
will help us receive a testimony of it, and all things for that matter. And in
the end, that is all the really matters.
