Nothing too exciting happened this week.. We got transfer calls today and I will be staying here in Warroad for another 6 weeks at least! I am excited, but very very nervous to be the only one who knows the people and the area. My new companion will be Sister Knight from Smithfield!! Super cool! I'm excited for what this next transfer will bring.
Tuesday we went to district meeting in International Falls. After the meeting we rode on a boat to a little island that this lady lived on. She fed us lunch! It was super cool. Usually missionaries are not allowed to ride on boats but we got permission! It was cool!
We helped a lady in our apartment move. Her daughter is actually a convert to the church and so is her nephew. Her nephew was taught by Dayson Chamber's brother-in-law. I guess he opened Warroad! Super crazy connection. Small world!!
We went to find a less-active the other day. We knocked on his door and he let us in. He was an older man living in an assisted living/elderly apartment building. We started talking to him and asking questions so we could get to know him a little bit and hear his story. He proceeded to tell us that he is not religious and never has been. He told us that he got baptized when he was in the navy once but it was just for something to do. And he was DEFINITELY NOT baptized mormon.... Hmmm. We were confused, and I think he was too:) Not sure what to do in that situation!
General conference was AWESOME!! So many good talks! One of my favorites was Elder Stevenson's about spiritual eclipse.Some of my favorite things he said were.. "Small and insignificant matters can block the light of hte gospel when drawn too close. Don't let life's distractions eclipse spiritual light."
What did you guys learn? Any favorites!? I would love to hear!! I am super excited to be able to read and study them over again over the next couple months and I hope that you do too!! Love you all. Have an awesome week:)
Frank's eyes are closed. That's the best picture we got:(
The little boy is names after Tayli's boyfriend's brother in law who opened warroad! We played with those balloons for a while. He just kept rubbing my head trying to make them staticy and stick to the wall
