Rachel, who we were preparing for this month was all set to come to church. We had a powerful lesson on the gospel of Jesus Christ and she was super committed to be baptised and come to church. The next day when I messaged her on Facebook to confirm if she was going to come she told us she wants time to think about things because she feels like she is betraying her church. We'll give her space and wait for her to come around.
As for the clan, since Rachel wasn't coming that meant we had a member primed and ready to bring people to church so we arranged with the clan to have them come with the member. We went over saturday night to celebrate Chris's birthday with them. They didn't have any alcohol while we were there but I saw the two 12 packs of cider hiding in the other room lol. Long story short they didn't wake up in the morning.
Recently we have been experiencing a lot of adversity. Just last night we were tracting a very nice part of town (we want to baptise people with money that will build the ward, not leech from it). It was a good neighbourhood and we were receiving a pretty good response when it just decided to pour down the rain. Then we had a black out lol. People aren't too keen on opening their doors when their power is off. The funny part of it was the power cut shortly after a man cursed at us at the door haha.
Despite the rough week we aren't dissuaded from the work. It's fuel to work harder and overcome the adversary. Good things are to come this is just the rainy dark section just before the light. Things are going to get much better.
I hope everyone has a great week this week. Keep an eye out next week for our great P-day adventure today. It should be good.... ;) I love you all!!!
Love,
