Oh, the Irony. I spoke on Sunday too.
We were the backup this week. Bishop called and asked us. I went first,
Elder Aitken followed. I was prompted with the topic "The Restoration in
the words of a 20 year old." So, I spoke for twenty minutes, without
note, scriptures, or anything but quoting the first vision from the
pamphlet. Basically, I taught the Restoration in my words on the pulpit.
Elder Aitken followed with a great talk he put together on "What it
means to be a disciple" Including John 6 - Lovest thou me? The members
enjoyed it and a few mentioned how they felt the Spirit and had
promptings. It was great. Oh, I like how you can search and veiw the
document on the Joseph Smith papers. But it doesn't have the Church Logo
on the site, so its technically not approved. I'll check it out later.
We got a hold of J. and L.. He cooked a pig and invited us over
for some BBQ. It's not that they didn't want to meet with us, just a few
bad schedulings in a row. We've got a dinner and lesson scheduled this
Thursday with a member and his referral. Yes, we do a bit of our own
finding. cleaning up the Less-actives on the roster helps, just talking
to people. That's how we got one of our investigators, L. Not to much
different this week than last. We're on bikes next week. We had 8
Less-active lessons this last week.
Oh! It Snowed!!!And everyone went to
the store right before to buy eggs, milk, and bread. Why? We have no
idea. It just melts in 24 hours anyways...we'll research why sometime.
It's suppose to snow soon again. A member asked if we needed some extra
bread, milk or eggs...it was interesting. Nonetheless. Good week.
I found a good
quote you could share with our home teaching families considering as how
the prophet has called all to work in the vineyard:
"The
reflection that everyone is to receive according to his own diligence
and perseverance while in the vineyard, ought to inspire everyone who is
called to be a minister of these glad tidings, to so improve his talent
. . . that when the Master sits down to take an account of the conduct
of His servants, it may be said, Well done, good and faithful servant:
thou hast been faithful over a few things; I will now make thee ruler
over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."Joseph Smith, History of the Church, 2:6.
Transfer calls are on Sunday night. Talk to ya'lls later! Have a good one!
Love elder Meyerink
