I don’t
have a ton of time but will try to tell you a little about my week.
Monday-
Last p day we had finished everything that we needed to by 4 and we don’t have
to be out till 6. We were stuck and didn't know what to do so I said a
prayer and we both decided to go out and work a little early. In just 2 hours
we contacted enough people to make appointment for the whole next day. It
was such a miracle because so far we have never had a day full of appointments.
Missionary work is so fun when I rely on the Lord for help.
Wednesday
I had my first zone meeting. I of course got called on to give a talk but
it wasn't so bad because I just had to talk on my favorite talk from general
conference. I talk about how receiving
spiritual light is the process of a lifetime.
Friday
was awesome. We had a new Missionary Training at "The OSU" campus. It
was so fun to see all of my old friends from the MTC and I learned tons. After the meeting was over they let us go out
on campus and talk to people for about an hour. I loved it and talked to several people and
got several numbers of potentials.
Saturday
I thought I died and went to heaven. A
member of the ward contacted me and said that he had a non-member friend that
lived by him who had a wood stove and wanted some help splitting wood. Of
course I volunteered all of the missionary in the ward and we went and split
wood for hours. The only reason we
stopped was because it was super dark and the truck headlights just didn’t give
us enough light. After we stopped they feed us a quick dinner and we hurried
back to our apartment so we weren't late for curfew. It was like the greatest
thing ever. We didn’t get it all done so
we get to go back on Friday and finish. I can’t wait. I got a phone call yesterday from that same
member who told us about them. He told
me that his friend was so impressed with us that he now wants him and his
family to learn more about our church and figure out why we were so happy to be
splitting wood on a Saturday night. How
cool is that? I have to go and will try
to write more next week.
I love
and miss you all,
The
church is so true and I love my mission!
Love
Elder Roper
