We had a crazy busy week this week! We saw tons of people and we even went above our standard for the week! That was really cool!!!
Even though it was busy, we didn't have too many crazy things happen or anything out of the ordinary either.
We did see Vicky this week. She has baby kitties! She is doing so good!!!! I love her so much!!! We finished teaching her the restoration and she is so humble and faithful. She doesn't have any concerns or problems yet. She is cruising through the Book of Mormon! She has been smoking less and less. Everything about Vicky is a miracle. On Sunday morning, Kennith called us and said, "I don't think we will be able to make it to church today because of the rain. We don't have windshield wipers on our truck and i don't want to wreck." We told them we understood and that we would miss them. As we were driving to church, Sister Merrill said, "I just feel like something incredible is going to happen." Well....We pull in the parking lot and BAM. Kennith's truck is parked right in the front. We were thinking.. "These people are unreal. They told us they couldn't come in the truck because of the rain and they beat us here." We went into the chapel and talked to them. Kennith said something that was a lesson to me and a great example of the perfect investigator. He said, "I realized that it is just rain. Satan is trying to do everything to get us to NOT come to church and to stop us from learning about Jesus. We aren't gonna let him win. We are blessed to have this church and we are gonna be here no matter what." Then Vicky said, "We are gonna get here, even if it is kicking and screaming and hollerin'. Im going to be at church." Kennith told us he went outside before church in the rain and tore apart his truck to fix his windshield wipers. It was incredible.
I cannot believe the faith of these people. They are such a testimony to me that God is Hastening the Work and He is leading people to the church. They are so faithful. I want to be like them and i think my mission is teaching me exactly that. I LOVE this gospel so much and i didn't realize how much i did at home. It is such a blessing to me.
We also went to see this old investigator who we thought we would go meet. OH BOY. That was an experience for sure. We get there and she is super friendly but she has like 47 cats. We started talking to her and asking her her beliefs. She said she is a spiritualist, but the Mormons are the closest to what she believes. She has so many beliefs that she doesn't really know what she even believes and she kept going back and contradicting herself. She told us she believed in reincarnation and then she told us that she believed when we die that we will teach the other spirits in Heaven about Jesus. She also told us that in her past life she was a servant to Pharoah and one of the cats she has was Pharoahs cat, and they had such a bond that they were reincarnated together to live here now. It was interesting talking to her. We helped her do some service and she said, "We have to drive to my mansion". So we got in the car and she pulled out of the driveway and pulled into the very next driveway. It was so funny!!!! She is just sweet! We don't really know if she is fully prepared to hear the gospel yet, but it was cool meeting her!
We met a real life Mountain Man!(: That was sweet too!(: We got to see all his stuff. Kayde would have died. All i could think about when i was there is "Kayde would love this guy."
Update on the apartment! We live by a dog food factory, so it basically smells like daises and rainbows every morning and night! (;
I don't really have anything else today! It was just a great work week!!!
LOVE YOU ALL!
Love,
Sister Ritter
