We had zone training
meeting which is where the zone leaders and the district leaders teach the zone
so that was super weird teaching a group where literally everyone of them had
been out longer than me besides the girl in training lol. Being a district
leader is super weird but it's alright. It was super good to see our zone for
the first time though. The coos bay zone is like the only zone that is so
spread out that you only see everyone for big meetings.
Anyway, so we have
been meeting with this part member family the Youngs and it's the husband, Tim
who is a member and his wife Angela who is investigating. So Angela has been
meeting with missionaries for years and Tim just got baptized when he met the
missionaries in December. So we have really been trying to help Tim understand
everything and also we have been trying to figure out what is holding Angela
back. It's super difficult because Angela hates to be pushed which I totally
understand but we also want her to be able to go to the temple with Tim! The
thing is, Angela and Tim love me! lol It's so awesome, they are like my sub
parents out here. They both really like hanging out with us and doing lessons
and just yesterday Angela told us the one thing holding her back from being
baptized!! It ends up some missionaries in the past had taught her
that if she gets baptized and her kids don't, she will
never be able to see them again after they die! So we are studying super hard to teach her the truth! Literally.
Everything else she believes! Tim was having a hard time paying tithing and
she's like "just pay it already so we can get some blessings, stop being a
baby and pay it!" Lol so they are super awesome and now she is progressing
since she came to church yesterday and has been doing everything. That was a
miracle.
We also moved into a new house on Wednesday so that was a lot of work
and sucked but it is a nicer house I think. Bandon
really is a beautiful place. And I have been lucky too have seen almost the
entire coast in our zone. We went down to gold beach the other day to do
service and that was awesome. And I have been all the way up through Florence
because of MLC last week so it's been awesome to see so many beautiful places. So that's how Bandon is doing for
the most part. Stay solid!
