Hey mom! I can't believe it has been another week already. This transfer is already almost halfway over, I can't believe that! This week was really good and we definitely saw a few miracles. I know that God directs this work and we are just his tools. We definitely couldn't be doing what we are doing without his help.
Could you send me boots through CTR clothing? That would be nice. And if you could send me some of my under armor and the running pants that I wore when I played lacrosse that would be nice. It is getting extremely cold. And it's only gonna get colder... yay! At least maybe there will be an excuse for people to let us inside (we can hope right? Haha!) And could you send me some sheet music for solos I could sing and also Jonny's ipod that he had on his mission? Thank you!
Well Thursday we had interviews and district meeting. That's always really nice and I love interviews with President Stratford. I only have good things to say about him. He is one of the nicest and most caring people I have ever met. Sister Stratford is too! After that we had a lesson with a new investigator. That was a powerful lesson. We knocked on his door a few times and he didn't answer and then we walked around Mingo for a bit and felt like we needed to knock again, so we did and he didn't answer again. And we were about to leave and he opened the door! He let us in and we taught him. He said he was asleep but whole he was asleep he heard a scripture in his head. He recited it and I looked it up that night and it was Revelation 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and sup with him, and he with me." That was powerful. I know that the message we are sharing is important and can change lives.
Friday was COLD! The coldest day here so far. We did service at Habitat for Humanity in the morning and then had weekly planning and then tried by potentials in the evening. Not too eventful, but most days are like that. One thing I have to remind myself is what a member of the branch presidency in the MTC told us, in a mission you have two or three amazing days, 30 great days, and the rest of them are just tough and full of hard work.
Saturday was another one of those days, lots of trying to find people with not much success. But that's okay because it's still fun!
Sunday we had church and that's always good. And we had dinner at the Wahl's. We tracted around their house after that and met some really cool people but none of them are too interested, but it is always nice when you knock on someone's door and they are actually nice!
Monday was weird because it wasn't P Day! We are still in the adjustment period, but it was good! It was full of knocking doors again. Hopefully by the time I leave Bellefontaine we will have found enough people teach that the next set of missionaries won't habe to knock so many doors haha!
Tuesday was pretty much the same as the rest of the days. (Exciting, I know) three lessons cancelled on us that day. And we get called some mean names but that's alright because they are super funny stories to tell afterwards haha!
And today we had a district activity! We went bowling and that was way fun.
I love you mom, thank you for everything! Keep up the good work with the choir.
Your son,
Elder Collier
