Another week gone by! You would think now that I'm the one making the schedule I would be better about letting everyone know when my next pday is, but alas, it has been an eternal struggle of a Visitors Center mission. So I'm sorry this is coming a day later than usual!
We're still trying to get the hang of the split Visitors Center Trainer thing, but it will work out, I'm sure. Evenings in the area though are always guaranteed, so we've spent the past few days knocking in the dark! We even got the police called on us! We pulled up to house and parked on the other side of the road, but hadn't finished evaluating a lesson we'd just had. When we finished that up we got, knocked on the door, and testified to the man on the other side, then he shook his head and said, "You really shouldn't be lurking outside on these country roads. I've already called the cops." Sister Hallows and I both looked at each other and I said, "Oh...should we come park in your driveway instead?" "No, just sit in your car and wait for them to come." *Closes door* Dang it. But then we testified to the cop! So all in all I figured it was a pretty good night. Mission goal accomplished!
In terms how people are doing, the Castellanos have been out of town lately so we haven't been able to see them. Tim and Ashley are still doing well! The ward put on a Hawaiin Luau which they came to and loved! They are just the sweetest to watch, and may be shy at first, but are the best as soon as they open up. The Novicks are also doing well and continue to gain an understanding of things bit by bit.
We are also working with the boyfriend of a less active named Mike. He lived in the same household as Brother Tilly who I may have mentioned a few letters back as being the man who brought a goldfish back to life after his baptism. Mike is the one who Sister Murdock and I helped quit smoking and are keeping his pipe until his baptism. His baptism is coming up pretty soon, though we've found out he's been vaping, and so we're helping him overcome that. Addiction is a very hard thing, is all I can say, but the Savior is vital in the work of recovery.
All in all it's been a good week! The Neffs are doing great and the work moves forward! I really do love you all and hope you have a great Valentine's Day!!
