How is it living in an apartment? SWEET! Living in the apartment is a dream. I mean it may be old and small, but it is our space. I don't feel I have to walk on egg shells so as to keep members happy and living with the zone leaders is just fun. I am dreading being transferred because this is awesome!
Well, it is official. Elder Lloyd is the most cynical person I have ever met. It is a good thing that he is funny about it or he would be a little depressing. I find myself laughing a lot and that is a good thing. I am going to work with him on toning it down a bit with the members and such but I'm not worried.
We are working on art for our walls and it has inspired Elder Lloyd to tap into his creative side. He has never painted before but as Elder Hirschi left all of his supplies he thought he might as well. He just painted an orange lambda in honor of 3 of the 4 of us loving half-life. It actually looks really cool.
Teri Carroll is still progressing and we found out that the sister we brought to the church tour did not put her off but that she actually liked her company! We tried to get her to set a baptismal date but she feels as though she is not going to be ready for something within 3 weeks. She wants to know what she needs to repent of and ants to be more spiritual before she takes the plunge. She has little if anything to repent of so lesson 4 is going to be very good for her and we can easily have a double focus of helping her get an answer and teaching her the commandments.
We finally got back in contact with Erin this week. She says that while life has been crazy and super busy that just doing some of the things we asked her to do (reading the BOM and praying) have really brought her a lot of peace to her in the storm. That said she has at least one storm on the horizon. She has told us that she is going in today to see if she has cancer. We have prayed for her ,but I think that either way things will turn out ok. We are going to try to set up appointments away from the house so she can focus and not feel like she has to be doing things all at once. Wow, I just said I was going to try and get someone else to focus...
Bonnie was good to come to church this week until she had a meltdown this Sunday. She sent us a bunch of incoherent text messages about getting her daughter back and talking to the judge and how her ex is evil and all sorts of clearly emotionally driven thoughts that all had little connection or traceable stream of consciousnesses. We set up with the bishop to come after church and try to sort things out. When we got there her friend from the ward and the bishop talked their way in and then the bishop turned to us and said that he would handle the situation and that we should go find something else to do. Later, we talked to Sister Browning and all she really told us is that the bishop gave her a blessing to calm her down. I have have gained a new respect for the calling of bishop and still dread the idea of being one.
Well, that is all that I have for you guys. Thanks for all the love you send all of the time. It really does help.
