Monday (unusual I know,
but this is where it starts). We were at the Memorial Day Picnic and
Sister Hoffman came up to us. She told us that when Tanner got home, his
mom told him he could not get baptized. She had come across some anti
material. So Tanner is pretty crushed and so were we, but with all of
the miracles that have happened, I know that Heavenly Father will take
care of it. But if you wouldn't mind praying for Tanner to have the
strength to continue, I would appreciate it; I know he would too.
Tuesday
we helped one of our investigators, Cheran, clean her house. She has a
lot of dogs and so my allergies were CRAZY. But we got a lot done. We
then saw the Humberts and it started POURING outside. They really like
it when we come over so that it good! We hope that they will begin to
understand the gospel better in the next few weeks! We tried to see
Sister Latkanich afterwards, but she is STILL in the hospital; which
isn't very good. She didn't look very good when we stopped by. We took
dinner then saw Brother Burnworth. He is a hilarious old man!! His
daughter, Rachel, was there and she told her conversion story even
though she is less active. It was really cool, actually. We had a good
talk. We are still working on inviting Dena and Marcus to take the
lessons! It's so hard to find an opening but, we have to move soon! I'll
probably just be very bold next time we see them. Then the storm rolled
in again and we had to go inside because we couldn't see outside!
Wednesday
we did 12 hour missions with 2 of the girls in the ward that are home
from college. I was with Isabella who leaves for the Dominican Republic
on the 4th! We did studies and had District Meeting. I never realized
HOW awkward missionaries were until we threw 2 non missionaries in the
mix haha! Oh man. So weird haha! Isabella and I went to visit Sue and we
talked about fasting. We spent our day making contact with all sorts of
people. Some less actives, some potentials, and some non members who
wanted nothing to do with the church. Just a typical day as a
missionary. We went to dinner and this old guy's phone rang. It was "We
are never getting back together" by Taylor Swift....yup. Pennsylvania.
Then the Book of Mormon class. We ended up having a really good
discussion in the class.
Thursday was
all service. We went to the senior center as usual then we went to Dena
and Marcus' to help them clean their basement....that was SKETCH. haha!
It was so much fun though! We scrubbed the floors because they had
flooded with the monster rain storm that came through. Then we had to go
to dinner at the Crook's. We had the Relief Society meeting afterwards,
so that is where we spent our day.
Friday
was weekly planning and Jackie's lesson. Half way through she got a
call from her daughter that her granddaughter had swallowed a bottle of
vitamin C (turns out it's water soluble). So she rushed to pick her up
and take them to the hospital. We ended up driving to Paige's to try and
see her. She wasn't home. /: It makes me so sad because I love her and
we had a ton of fun in Beaver!! I wish she would just come to church!!
We then went to Meg's and saw Chelsey. Chelsey is married to a less active
member whose parents live in the ward. We are trying to start teaching
her and she said she wants to learn more! We then went to dinner and
visited Sister Fitch! She is the sweetest old lady in the world!! I love
her so much!! haha!
Saturday.
Oh man. This day was CRAZY. Like typical missionary day. But so
extraordinary it's not even funny. It started on Friday night after
planning. Our main plan fell through so we decided to do what we could.
We visited Sister Latkanich again. She is doing a lot better than the
last time we saw her. When we showed up to the hospital, our lunch
appointment fell through. So we were struggle busing it. We visited
Sister Braddy and they were cleaning their house so of COURSE my
allergies decided to flare up. Talk about difficult. We talked about the
Holy Ghost and then walked everywhere in the world. Nope, just
Charleroi. We walked to Vi's house and then took dinner. We ate and then
decided to go grab a 49 cent ice cream cone and McDonalds. We're
poor...so haha! So we walk in and stand in line when a guy runs up and
says "Sisters! Let me pay for you!!" We looked pretty shocked and he
said "Don't worry! I'm a member! Please, let me pay for you!" Sooo a
member we don't know in OUR area?? What? We got our ice cream cones and
went to talk to them. Chad is from California and his wife, Michelle is
from Utah. They both go to BYU-I but are here for the summer installing
security systems. They are actually in Pitt 2nd ward! We were so mind
blown! And their friends walked in and they were members as well!! It
was so weird to see so many members in one place (; haha! But it
definitely was a tender mercy. Not that we couldn't buy our own ice
cream but that the whole experience took place. The act meant more than
the money. We then walked to the Hoffman's and talked with them, then
went to the Sullivans. They are the sweetest!!
Sunday was really good! Fast Sunday wasn't that bad.
We had a really good ward council and Tanner came to sacrament meeting!
I don't know how much longer he will be able to. I know it will all
work out. This isn't our work; it's the Lord's. We said goodbye to
Isabella who leaves this week. Then did studies and went to the
Stinnett's for dinner. They crack me up. One of their sons came home and
surprised them for his Mother's Day gift. We had a really good Sabbath.
So that's how my week went! It was busy and we got
11 less active recent convert lessons!! We average about 7-8 weekly so
that was really cool! It was so wonderful to be able to work with the
youth this week! I hope you all have a wonderful week!!
Love
Sister Crockett
