WEEK 56 N0V 11-2019
Let's start with good ‘ol’ Monday, we didn’t do too much but we checked out some stuff in Plymouth. In a couple weeks we will be returning to have a tour of Plymouth Plantation. (A historic sight of the Pilgrims here in Plymouth Massachusetts) While I was there I got a nice quill and ink pen. For those of you who don’t know I honestly love writing letters, so this made me even more happy! This week I officially have written 200 letters on my mission! That night we had dinner with the Hovey’s and had some good home made breaded chicken. After that we made a lot of calls and did some stop byes, but no lessons. We did try to go see Pam but she wasn’t feeling to well at the time.
Tuesday, not too much happened. We had studies and later on helped the Hovey’s move a freezer from the basement up into their kitchen. We had to bring it from outside and it was raining and we had fun. We came home changed and made our way to the Chapel for Ward Correlation. After we went to Olive Garden for dinner it was so dang good! I got the Zupas, Tucanos Soup, my Sister Tiffanie made it all the time back hone and I love it so much! To end the night Elder White needed to work on his my plan, so Elder Leitch and I hung out with the young men.
Wednesday was a double service day. We had a fun time at the Food Pantry they got a large order come in so we did a lot of organizing. We helped cut the Jenny museum mowing the lawn. Shortly after that we came home had lunch and made a cake for Elder Leites 24th Birthday, parabéns Elder Leite! We then drove to meet the Brewster Elders half way to do exchanges. I came back with Elder Despain to Plymouth and half way we realized we didn’t have the sim card. We lucked out for this exchange. With us not having the Sim card we had Elder White text us whenever there was a text or a call. When we got back it was time for dinner. After dinner we went to visit Sister Conway and Brother Gould to give them the Sacrament. With both of them we talked about the importance of it as well. The last little bit we went to North Plymouth and did a couple stop byes.
Thursday morning we went to the Saint Bonaventure Catholic Church to help out with a food order. They received 7000 lbs of food! We helped out a lot and had fun doing it. After we finished Neila gave us a tour of the Chapel. It personally helped me have a better understanding of other Faith's, and will help me personally understand how to help them strengthen their faith in Christ. After we came home had some studies and then lunch. We then called people and did some stop byes. With one guy Jim we knocked on his door and he let us right in. We talked a little bit about what he remembered from last time he talked with the missionaries. He has a lot of awesome questions and we plan on returning there next week! We had a great lesson with the Forsburgs about preparing spiritually for the sacrament each week. After more stop byes we made our way to the Snells home for dinner. I got a surprise and the other elders who still had the sim card told her I love pumpkin spice, and I do not like pumpkin spice. She made cookies for me thinking I would like them. We had a fun time with them and they have two boys who wrestle! I had a fun time talking to them about that. We then went to north Plymouth area and met a few Brazilians with interest!
Friday morning after we got ready the other Elders drove back to Plymouth and we made our way to West Bridgewater for District Council and interviews. We had a really fun District Council on following the spirit and our missionary purpose! Interviews went really well, but I might be getting transferred but we will see! After we Elders went to Little Sammies for lunch and I just love their mac and cheese! We did studies when we got back and then had dinner. To end the night we had a couple different lessons. One with Al, Dick, and Sherri on the 10 Commandments. The other one was with Larry, Ollie, Peyton and Myana. We talked about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That night when we got home we stayed up later and we had a heart to heart to heart conversation and a companionship on how we can better help love and support each other. It’s different for Elder Leite coming from a whole other culture and now adapting to living here in America.
Sunday it was so hard to get up on time because we were up late last night. But luckily we just barely made to church on time! We saw that Pam came and we decided to sit by her. We had three really good talks, and they were truly centered on a loving God and we should do what we can to be closer to God. During the second hour we were helping out the primary teachers set up for a program for the kids getting baptized/kids turning 12 next year. We also swept out the Baptismal Font. After Church we talked to the kids turning 8 on how they can prepare for their own baptism. They were also able to see the font. Before they came to the room we were able to show Pam the Font and talk to her a little bit about baptism! When we got home I took a small nap and had lunch then we went out to North Plymouth for a lesson. It went really well, and after we did some tracting and some stop byes. We have a new family we hope to start teaching soon. On the way home we stopped by Lori and set up a time to meet with her and her husband this week. I know we will get along well, she loves animals!!! We then came home to get a couple things then left to dinner with the Middlbrooks. It is a nice family in the ward that just moved here from London England 3 months ago. She and her two kids are also Chinese the husband is not a member. We had a good time getting to know them more and helping out the oldest son Sonny. He is thinking about what he should do after he graduates from high school. He bore our testimonies on missions and how it has helped us in our own faith.
Job 11:4
"4 For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes"
As we listen to the words of the scriptures and the Prophets and Apostles they truly are coming from God. The ways of man have come and corrupted the land, we should take hold of Gods laws and his teaching for his Gospel Doctrine is Pure! As we follow them to the best we can, we will be clean in his eyes. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
