Lost Investigator

March 16, 2015

Our week had a couple of crazy moments to say the least. On Friday night, the YM/YW had a fundraiser for girls camp/high adventure. Abby, our 13 year old investigator, wants to go so we had someone pick her up and bring her. We left after the dinner because there was no need for us to stay and watch the auction and I told Abby who would be taking her home. About 45 minutes later we got a text from the Sister that was supposed to take her home that said nobody could find her. I did a mini freak out session. After awhile of no one being able to find her we went back to the church and all the leaders were there. We called Gilbert and asked him if he had come and picked her up and he hadn't so then he started to freak out. So nobody knows where she is and I'm just thinking how horrible it is that we lost our investigators daughter haha. Long story short, she got a ride with someone and didn't tell anyone and didn't get back until later. That's what we thought but it was still kinda scary. So yeah, we lost our investigator haha.  

So this week our whole entire mission and all of the the ward councils did a huge fast for missionary work. it was really cool and I can't wait to see all of the amazing miracles that will come from it.

On Thursday we did sqaush4friends again and I got to take home a bunch of broccoli and cauliflower. You know me, I was SO happy! I've been putting it in my smoothies and making it for lunch everyday. Yep, it's been great. I've done like 7 hours of gardening this week. On Saturday we hula hoed for two hours at the Elders investigators place and then went straight to another old lady and did two and a half there and then went straight to go help someone else clean and organize her newly painted cupboards. We slept well that night haha I loved it though. It feels awesome serving people..... and you get buff arms really fast haha. 

We started teaching the Langs again this week. They are the ones that tried to remove their records. They decided to give it another chance so hopefully we will be able to help build their faith enough to stay. I'm kinda scared though. Her testimony is wavering and she has a very strong personality so explaining things can be hard. It's all in God's hands though. I've been realizing more and more just how little control over things I have. This really is HIS work and the only one I can control is myself. It's hard seeing people make not so great decisions. It's been harder on me than I ever thought it would be. You come to love people so much and when they make bad decisions it's hard to see. I can't even imagine how God feels. Opposition in all things, right? Salvation was never an easy task. It wasn't for the Savior and it's not going to be for us. It's all good though. We see so many blessings throughout our day that keep us going and we have a wonderful ward family that takes care of us.  

Sorry that I don't have anything cool to report but maybe something will pop up next week haha. Thanks for being so great! 

Love ya lots,
