Things are about the same as last week..The Doctors still don't quite know
what is going on with Elder Baird. However, we have one more visit with a doctor this
Wednesday. We'll just continue to have faith that everything
will work out and we should know what's happening for sure by next week. I'm
hopeful to finally find out what is going on as well. But, Proverbs 3:5-6 was a
good answer to my prayers considering this matter.
The past week has been pretty good. Elder Baird and I have gotten out to teach a little bit, and we've had some really good lessons with people. One of our investigators has now been off of coffee for over a month, so she could be baptized sometime soon. We just need to get out and teach more often and we should see the work begin to progress at a really great rate. I'm really excited though. When an area has missionaries leave or they get sick for a while, the work kinda slows down, but once it starts up again, the areas EXPLODE! Hopefully we'll be seeing this sometime soon. We know a lot of great people who are wanting to accept the Gospel, they just need a little bit of help getting there. Stay tuned for all of that coming soon! ;)
Besides that, I've been practicing the piano a lot (thanks to a borrowed
keyboard from our wonderful Ward Mission Leader, Brother Demming) and I'm
getting quite a bit better! In fact, I'll be playing the hymns for Zone
Conference in about 3 weeks. Scary! I've also been working on a sweet missionary
scripture setup, and I've been making some serious progress lately in reading
through it, marking it all according to a color code setup I came up with, and
tabbing scriptures to help out in the missionary work. Tabbing scriptures is
helping me a lot in memorizing where the scriptures I need are. Already, I'm no
longer relying on the tabs, but thanks to them, know where to find the specific
scripture on faith that I need. That much is good!
One thing that was pretty exciting, was we were invited to dinner at Stake
President Beck's home this past Friday. They have a great family and a beautiful
home, and they made us/sent us home with some awesome home-made chicken noodle
soup. Afterward, our Zone Leaders came and we had a spiritual blessing for Elder
Baird. It was an exciting little experience that we were blessed to be a part
of.
So that was my previous week! This week should answer a lot of our
questions and prayers, then the work will start to progress again.
I can't quite remember the exact quote (I think Heather or Mom sent it to
me), "Come what may, and love it." Those are wise words indeed. We don't always know how
things are going to work out, but we just need to do the best we can and have
faith. I've learned a lot about that recently!
Stake Conference is this week, and Elder Shane M. Bowen of the Seventy is
going to be addressing the Saints right here in Owego. SWEET! Should be an
awesome experience.
Keep up all the good work at home! I hope things are good for all of you.
