Hello People,
I only have a short amount of time, so
I’m going to sum up the week quickly. My trainer companion (E. Carter) came
back to Virginia for a really cool event. Sister Seeley, my first baptism in Wakefield,
got sealed in the temple to her husband and her parents. Elder Carter came back
to work as the proxy for the husband and the spirit was very strong there
(according to the Hoskins, who attended the sealing). The temple ordinance
worker said it was the most spiritual sealing he’s done and that he felt
impressed that S. Seeley's mother was in the room when it happened. It was such
a cool experience to hear about for S. Seeley. I was super happy.
Well the rest of the week was just
lessons here and there. We were able to take a few youth to do splits with us
and with one we were able to visit an investigator who wants to be baptized. We
share him with another set of elders because he goes up to Charlottesville
regularly for work. The other elders are pressuring him to get baptized soon,
but we just want him to get baptized when he feels it is right.
We did a lot of service on Saturday,
which was a clear, sunny day. I even got burnt in the sun which is weird for March.
We are helping out more with this particular family because they are a part
member family and we are working with getting the family more active. We tore
up a fallen tree which was very fun and I had a lot of fun breaking rotten
branches and burning them. We also are trying to help out an investigator with
service since he doesn’t have a lot of time to do chores. His name is Nick
Russo and he’s really contemplating becoming a member of our church since it
follows the teachings in the Bible. He'll come around.
We had zone meeting which was mainly
a bishop of one of my old areas who spoke to use and compared us to brass: staying bright for other people and helping
them.
The transfer situation is that Louisville
is getting a third missionary, Elder Chatman. We’re also getting a new District
Leader and I’m worried because he doesn’t like to encourage tracting and that’s
how we’re getting a lot of our work done in this area right now. And it’s really the only way we can get work
done, since there aren’t many members in the area.
Love you all,
Elder McClure
