It got pretty cold last weekend,
but then warmed right up!
Buenos!
It was another good week here in Lenoir City. Good, but cold. We got a little bit of snow this week. On Friday it started with just a little bit of snow, but we actually got quite a bit on Saturday. We ended up grounding our car for most of the day, especially since LC is so hilly, we didn't want to be sliding on all the steep uphills and downhills. Even though most of the roads were clear, they ended up canceling church on Sunday. Things are supposed to heat up this week though, so I'm looking forward to that.
Wednesday was transfers, and Elder C and I welcomed our new greenie, Elder J! He is from Perry, UT near Brigham City. He is 18, just graduated high school this last year, and is planning to go to Utah State to study engineering after this mission. He grew up on a farm, so he loves being outside, just working with his hands. He loves telling stories and jokes, and he is really good at it haha. We're super excited to have him!
We had a pretty good week with our top investigators. R is finally showing some real progress. We finally figured out that he didn't really understand the need for priesthood authority, so we were able to address that this week, and it went really well! We also finally got back in touch with MJ, and we had a good lesson with her about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Also (for Elder J's first lesson) we saw J, and talked with him about faith/repentance, and how he needs to have faith in himself--faith he can change. They are all doing well right now; we are just hoping to find some more solid people to add to our teaching pool.
My ponderizer this week is 1 Nephi 9:6, "But the Lord knoweth all things from the beginning; wherefore, he prepareth a way to accomplish all his works among the children of men; for behold, he hath all power unto the fulfilling of all his words. And thus it is. Amen." God knows everything. He knows our struggles, our weaknesses, our challenges, and our desires. Even if things appear difficult, God will prepare a way for us to accomplish great works. I hope y'all have a great week!
Love,
Elder Mitchell
