So snow is very fluffy.
And cold! I don't know if I like it or not.....
This week I learned how
to shovel snow! We shoveled the Walker's drive way (who's house we live in) and
then went and helped a non member who was in a serious bike accident and shoveled
her drive way. We then also helped another non member. Then went and helped Brother
Manchester - the older man who we helped move his couch. And our investigator Susan!
I made a snow angel and
a snow angel Moroni!
There is also some kids
in the ward who every time they see me, hug me! When we were over for dinner at
their house I noticed a ton of Pokemon cards on the ground. I asked if they liked Pokemon. They do of
course. So we talked about Pokemon after our message. Now they keep asking
their parents "when is Elder Mackin coming back to eat?" :) They are really cool kids!
We have also been taking
Max out with us to teach lessons with members! He has gone with us twice so far
and we hope he can keep going with us till he leaves! He is leaving on Dec 2nd
to the Provo MTC to serve in Argentina! He is going to be an awesome
missionary!
So this week we went
with one of the Keller kids (the kid dressed as Link for Halloween) and we did
service! We raked two peoples yards and one of them is very friendly and kept
trying to offer us money but we can't except it. So she instead made us goodie
bags filled with candy.
This week we also
visited a past investigator.(he has gone through about 6 sets of missionaries)
He is not progressing because he will only join if God physically tells him to
join or he sees the Golden Plates. So basically he has no faith. But we visit
him every so often to check up on him and let him know we still care about him.
On Saturday we were
tracting in area 4 of our ward, when Elder Price and I felt like that was not
where we were supposed to be. He had the prompting that we should visit the
Kendrick family. When we got there David was upstairs but his wife (who we
rarely ever get to talk religion with) was down stairs and let us in. We talked
with her and then David came down and talked also. Every time before when we
are at the Kendricks David is the one who wants to talk religion and that is
basically it. He won't progress he just wants knowledge. But Karen I believe is
ready. She talked to us and has lots of questions and believes in God. While
David only believes in the possibility of a God he won't say there is one and
he won't say there is not.
This past week we had a total
of 24 lessons! and we are trying for more!
I
am LOVING serving and teaching!!!!
I love you all!
