Dear Family and Friends!!
Another week has FLOWN by! I really just can't believe it!
The work has been going SO well! My new companion and I seemed to be.. off..
for the first week. We had different teaching styles and we disagreed on a lot
of things. But. Thanks to the Spirit and thanks to a lot of prayer we're
getting along great and we're really moving the work forward here in Otter
Creek. Its been a fast moving week.
Funny Story. We had an investigator, Don, who is working on
rebuilding his house. We offered to help him and invited him to Dinner at a
member's home. We can't drive investigators. So he told us he would drive. We
punched in the address on his GPS and we left. This was about 1 o clock in the
afternoon and Dinner was at 5. We get to the dinner appointment at 5 and Don
isn't there yet. 5:15. Still no Don. 5:30. Still no Don. We get a phone call
from Don at about 5:40 and he is panicked and angry at us because his GPS lead
him to Bryant(A 30 minute drive from his house.) Hahaha. It was so funny
because he was SO angry at US because he couldn't use his GPS. Needless to
say... We're bringing him Chili on Tuesday to apologize. Haha.
These past 6 weeks I've been teaching a sweet older lady,
Brenda. She is awesome! Loves Music and singing! She has been involved with her
church for over 18 years! Plus, she has some SERIOUS responsiblities in her
church. Like if her and another person isn't there. Their church service most
likely won't take place. Needless to say she is very important. But we've been
teaching her quite a bit about our church. :) She knows the Book of Mormon is
true and the importance of it. We had one of the most spiritual lessons I've
had so far on my mission teaching the Plan of Salvation. We found out her
Husband had passed away a few years back and she has always wondered what had
happened to him. She admitted to us that she believes everything we've taught
her and we invited her to be baptized. She Accepted. :) Then I bore testimony
of the Plan of Salvation and the joys baptism will bring to her and her family.
The last time I felt the Spirit THAT strong was in the MTC surrounded by
Hundreds of missionaries singing Come Come Ye Saints. :) The Spirit was so
strong there I could FEEL a difference when we stepped out of that room. Such
an amazing experience. She is committing to come to church with us and we'll be
talking about her leaving her church shortly. Only the Lord will be able to
have that happen.
I am glad to know that all of you are doing so well! I miss
you all! And I'll see you all very soon!
Love
Elder Keddington
