Week 40: Staying in Guthrie with a New Companion

Working hard

I have a new missionary with me. His name is Elder Mazzarelli. He is from Newport Beach California. He has been on his mission for 15 months now. 

This was a fun week. On Wednesday, we were able to go over to inactive member's home and were able to give her a blessing. After sitting down with her and getting to know her we were able to extend the invitation to have her retake the lessons to try and feel the spirit again and rekindle the fire that she once had.

We spent some time in Guthrie too. We met a woman named Brandy who we have talked to in the past. It had been a rough week for her and she may have to move. We ended up talking and walking around town with her and taught about our loving Heavenly Father. It was so awesome to see her mood of sadness change to hope and happiness.

It's not all hard work sometimes you get to play at the Park! 

We were able to have a lesson with John this week. He has a fairly agnostic belief so we were teaching him about the importance of prayer and how he is able to know truth through that. John committed to read the Book of Mormon and also to try and pray again. He too ended up coming out of the lesson a lot happier than he was when he came into it.

There is a lot happening in both wards now and it is getting me really excited! Have a great week.
