This has been a pretty amazing week. We have never been so busy in
our lives and there was so much to do. Our mission calls this place the Garden
of Enid because of all the amazing people that live here. It seriously seemed
like we were bouncing from person to person trying to make it to all the people
we had planned for.
So one of the most special times this week was on Tuesday as we had
exchanges here in Enid and I got a missionary that has been our for three weeks.
We set goals to get better at finding, so we chose our weapons carefully and of
course pulled out the bicycles (they are magical finding tools). We were riding
around for little bit aiming towards some of the investigators and members we
have in the area, but I still don't really know how to get around these parts.
There was no one outside, so I thought, we really need to find something fun to
do, and a nice jump appeared. We were like Pedro and Napolean having a good time
and people came outside and started watching. It was the perfect opportunity to
talk to people and we got some new investigators out of it. I'm amazed at the
small things that are thrown in our life and provide the means to answer our
prayers. The prayers for new investigators were answered. Life is so good.
Oh and interesting stuff... We were in Ponca City as well this week for
exchanges and people were telling me about the Hoddy's that lived in town and
apparently there is a street called Hoddy. I didn't get to meet them, but I'm
going to try real hard to next time to meet them. It's the first time I've heard
of someone else with the same last name.
I feel like it takes too long to type all the stories I want to tell, but
I'll tell them to you someday.
A verse I thought a lot about this week is Alma 46:12. Moroni writes the
Title of Liberty which says, In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom,
and our peace, our wives, and our children. I pondered a lot about this verse
trying to decide what my personal Title of Liberty is. What is my motivation?
Why do I get up every morning and go out to teach the gospel? Moroni's
passionate service full of great motives lead him to be a great leader. I'm on
an honest search to find my desires.
Thank you for everything you do. Life here is truly amazing. I love my
mission and I love my God. HFF :)
