Howdy,
Everything is going great in Liberty Township! Elder Brinton and I are getting along well, and we are working hard together. Unfortunately, a lot of our friends decided to stop meeting with us this week, but the Lord has blessed us with new friends who are amazing. One miracle from this last week that I thought I would share was our friend Danielle. I sent her a message over Facebook over two months ago while still in Lawrenceburg, but she never responded. Out of the blue, she responded this week and we set up a time to have a meeting over the phone. We taught the restoration and she loved it! The spirit was strong as we discussed the First Vision and the Book of Mormon and her voice was full of excitement. She wanted to read the Book of Mormon and said she would love to meet in person with the Elders in Lawrenceburg! It was hard to send away the referral, but we knew it was what is best for her. I am so grateful to have been able to play a part in helping her be introduced to the gospel! It is amazing to me that God is in the details, and no effort we make is wasted, even if it takes time to fully see the fruits of our labors.
We still had a couple bike jobs which was crazy, but they should be slowing down for the next little while. It took Elder Brinton all of 8 days in Ohio to go to every single zone in the mission because of all the bike jobs we had. It was fun though. Some missionaries were running late and we were ahead of schedule so we made a stop at an Amish store. It was pretty cool! None of the Amish people care about masks at all, which I thought was funny. It was nice to be in the middle of nowhere.
One of our favorite friends is Martha! She is too sick to leave her room, and so we've never met her in person. This week I had the prompting that we should sing families can be together forever to her over the phone even though neither of us sings very well. She loved it so much, and she said she really wants to come to church so bad, but she is too sick. We want to find a way where she can call into the church because she doesn't have a smartphone or a computer so logging in online isn't an option.
The spirit has definitely been with us this week in our area! I am excited to keep working hard to help the people in Liberty Township! I love the Lord and I love his work! I am honored to be able to serve in the OCM! Read your scriptures y'all! Keep praying, keep trusting, the answers will come!
Keep Striving
