Dear Family and Friends,
We had an eventful week! So Monday for P-day one of the members took us up to Hartz Mountain for a bush walk. It was gorgeous! I have a few pics I'll send of it! Wednesday we had zone interviews so I got to see President and Sister Maxwell and spend some time with them which was really great! It was definitely a needed refresher that day!
We have been spending some of our days in towns further out than just Glen Huon and Huonville since we cover such a large area, so this week Sister Maughan and I spent a day in Geeveston and another down further around Dover. It is a lot of fun! We generally go with a list of less active members and former investigators' addresses and go to those areas or wherever else we are led. This week in Geeveston we were trying to find a less active member's home (that apparently doesn't exist) and we decided to knock on a random house nearby. The woman that answered the door was a 20-year-old girl who grew up going to church with her Christian grandparents. When we asked when a good time to come back would be she said to come in a couple of weeks when her two younger siblings would be on school holiday because they will be interested, too! So we are super stoked to teach them!
By far the most interesting part of this week was when I came across my first Christian Minister. So on Saturday night we didn't have any appointments and we still had another hour until we could go home, so we decided to try and contact a former investigator in Huonville. When we got out of the car we talked to a man walking his dog who wasn't very interested, but told us to try the unit behind the former because they were religious and would probably let us in. So I knocked on the first door I've ever knocked in the dark and a Christian Minister and his wife answered the door. We had a really interesting, very long conversation at their doorstep.
I am proud to be a missionary and to have Jesus Christ's name literally printed over my heart. I am grateful that I get to defend him and my faith every day. I am grateful for the gospel and the testimony of it that I have, and I will continue to declare and defend it until the day I die!
Love you all and have a great week!
