We have had some exciting
things happen this week! It's been awesome! This is the last week of the
transfer, so this Saturday we will know what is going on. Can you believe I
only have 4 transfers left? I can't.
Monday was p-day, as always.
Pretty boring, nothing too exciting. We
went to have a lesson with a new investigator, but it fell through and he
wasn't there. That night we met with Travis. We moved his baptism up to this
coming weekend! He is so excited and he is sincerely ready to be baptized. He is
amazing and his faith has grown so much. We love Travis!
Tuesday was District Meeting.
After that we went to see Joe! We just laugh and laugh and laugh every time we
meet with Joe, he is so funny. He is doing really well, he comes to church
every week now! It's a miracle, he got Sundays off work! We had dinner with a
family in Sister Ena's old area (which is a ward that is in our area). It was
really fun to be with them. After dinner, their son pointed out that he had a
Python. He proceeded to take it out, and I proceeded to run to the other end of
the house. Hahaha. I hate snakes. Why does everyone in Vegas have a snake?!?
After a while of them coaxing me to come closer, I finally touched the snake's
tail.
We were super busy on
Wednesday. We met with Joe, and then one of our recent converts came out with
us. We had a lesson with a referral that we received but it fell through. We
went to our backups with him, and went to knock on a door. There was super loud
music, and a girl answered the door. We asked for the guy we were looking for
and she said she didn't think he was home. She went to see (because we asked
her to) and then a couple more people came to the door. They were all laughing
and being rude, so we just left. Our recent convert was like, "Do you run
into a lot of rude people like that?" I was like, oh my gosh, this wasn't
even bad! After that, we had a lesson with our investigator Brian, but he also
wasn't there. Then we met with Travis! We always meet at the park and it was
sooo hot that day! We had dinner at Bishop's house that night and coordination
meeting afterwards (which, guess what? ALSO fell through!)
Thursday morning we saw Joe. We
got to see Alainya that afternoon! She is so sweet, I love being able to teach
her. We went back to see Brian again, and he was there! We taught him the
Restoration with one of our members, and it was amazing! The Spirit was really
strong, and we could tell that he really understood and felt the Spirit. We did
service after that, and helped a member put baseboards in their house. That
night, we were parked in a parking lot, texting and calling people back. All of
a sudden, like 5 police cars surround our car and turn their lights on. We
freaked out, just a little. There were a few homeless people trespassing and causing
problems in the field right next to where we were, so they weren't there for
us... but it was still a little scary!
Friday was weekly planning, and
seeing Joe in the morning. Sister Ena's back was not cooperating, and so she
had to lay down for an hour. We contacted people that day, and tried some less
actives that we've never met before. We got a couple of return appointments, so
that was good! We felt like we should go and see one of our former
investigators, Eddie. Before that I felt like we should go a write a sticky
note and put it on one of our member's doors. When we walked to her door, we
saw this guy going to get his mail. We went to talk to him and he was super
nice! We got his info, and got a referral for the Zone Leaders, it was awesome!
He seemed really interested, we were glad we went to write a note for our
member. When we saw our former investigator, we could tell he was not doing
well. He asked if we would meet with him again! It was amazing. That night we
had dinner with one of our recent converts, Alan, and Morgan, who is a member
in our ward. We had a new member lesson with Alan afterwards, and then we went
on exchanges!
Saturday was an amazing day,
full of miracles! Our Sister Training Leader's companion had to go home for
medical reasons, so she is in a trio now with some other sisters. Sister Ena
went with our STL to work in their area, and I got to stay in Foothills for the
day with a member. I called Sister Gelabert, so that it would be easier than
switching members all day. It was good to be with her! We got to see Joe in the
morning, then we got a return appointment from a referral. We went to see Brian
again, and invited him to church. We had lunch, and she made me pasta, just
like she did when we were in Anthem. We contacted a lot of potentials and
referrals! We had a lesson with Travis, and talked about his baptism too! We
went out to Boulder City to contact some people, and then got stuck in
traffic for 45 minutes on the way back, so Sister Gelabert asked me questions
about missions to help her prepare for her mission (she leaves for Kansas
Sunday morning we had a lesson
with Maddy! We set her for baptism on the 28th and she is so excited for it! We
had an amazing lesson with her. We are so excited for her. We had meetings, and
coordination meeting, and then church. Church was great! Sacrament meeting was
alllll about Father's, since it was Father's day. I got a little sad, and may
or may not have, but definitely did cry a little bit because I missed my Dad.
He is the best. Happy Belated Father's Day! We had a lesson with Travis after
church to help him figure out his baptismal program for this week! We had
dinner with Jillian, a few appointments, and then crashed after a long, tiring
week!
This morning I got to play tennis, finally! It was so fun!
P-day, yay. Okay, everyone, have a great week!
Love, Sister Coltrin
