Hey gang! This week on #whatsmysnack we have Coffee!! "Oh, I don't drink coffee!" But the rest of Illinois does! But guess what, you can cross 2 people off that list! 2 of our investigators committed this week to stop drinking Coffee! Woot woot! So we were able to toss some coffee and a coffee maker in the dumpster! Good stuff.
We had another solid week of missionary work out here in Glockford! Had a cool experience with a new gator we found named A. It was a nice day outside so we were walking to and from a couple of stop by's (ya know, gotta save those miles) and we decided to take a little detour. There was a family outside playing on a play ground in the front yard of this house so we started walking up to talk to them. Immediately the mom and dad get up and go inside, but the older daughter stayed out with the little kids. We started talking to the older daughter and she told us she went to church growing up, but she had a baby and her church shunned her. So we showed her a virtual chapel tour of the primary and she loved it. She said she didn't think it was a coincidence that we found her that day because she has recently really started to turn her life around and make a good life for her and her daughter! I know the Lord puts us in people's paths whom he is preparing!
There really isn't a whole lot of new going on around here. Elder Gibby and I keep working hard and things are going good! There's nothing quite like being a missionary for the Lord, it's hard, but worth every minute. Everyday I think about something my boy Elder Gardanier would always say, "love the grind!" I love and miss all of y'all!
