Hey Everyone, Its been a fantastic week over here in Gilmer. And when I say that I mean there has been a lot of things changed to the Area. Most of this week if anything was filled with dropping quite a bit of people in our area. We had one guy who we were teaching that believes in almost everything we believe in except that we are the Only True Church out there. We did everything we could to explain it to him but unfortunately it did not go anywhere. Maybe someday that will change when Missionaries go and stop by again in the future. I have been reading from Doctrine and Covenants a lot recently and in one of the Sections it says that those that reject the Gospel in this life but accept it in the next life will not receive Celestial Glory. I kind of thought a lot about this after my experience with this person and how he will be missing out of a lot of blessings if he does not come unto Jesus Christ in this life. That is a huge bummer for a lot of the people I have met on my mission but lets skip over to Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving this year was actually really good and I enjoyed it a lot. This unfortunately was the last time that I got to have Thanksgiving on the Mission which kind of makes me upset. Last year I had a Smoked Turkey Leg for Dinner so I decided to skip that this year which was good. Throughout the rest of the day we went knocking doors and got in touch with a couple people who weren't super interested in meeting with us but we were at least grateful for the day we had. On Saturday night we went down to Big Sandy to invite as many people as possible to Church but nothing really happened besides finding a new person and also getting in touch with some formers. They sound like they are interested along with some other Potential people that said we can come back another day.
Sunday was actually a really good day for us in the end. We contacted a lot of people and we had Gary come to Church. This is the first time someone actually came to church since I have been here. Sometime after church we got a text from his Friend that says that Gary knows that the Church is true and we plan on meeting with them tonight! This is exciting news and I know that the Lord is ready to rain down Blessings in the Mission for December. Light The World has also kicked off this month and lets just say we had a really good spiritual lesson with some members last night. While we were over there we asked if there was anyone who may be interested in this message and they gave us a couple people who may be interested in the future. One of them who actually lives in our Area has read the entire Book of Mormon already and wants to be a part of the Gospel. I know that the Lord has his hand over this mission and I am very excited for the Miracles that are going to happen next week. Anyways I hope you all have a great week and I'll talk to you again soon!
