We're
coming to the end of another transfer (the 21st), and a lot of people are going
home this go around and next. I've been told I'll be moving this go around, so
I'll have one more area (most likely a good size city, whatever that means)
before it's time to come home. I have mixed feelings. The both of us work very
well together, and honestly that’s the only thing I'm kind of bummed about with
the impending move.
We
went to the Field of Dreams last Monday. It's cute. It’s a tiny little field (non-standard
size diamond) with a tiny little gift shop. No corn up right now, so nothing
like the movie in that way, but apparently it's a beehive come summer. I think
it might be a little more worthwhile then, but there was an article on one of
the display boards that really made it sound a little more magical.
We're going to the Amish community again today. I'm on the lookout for neat things to pick up and maybe send home to all the good little girls and boys. And I made my planners for the next two transfers... The last one has a ton of pictures of the family and such, since it’s supposed to be, you know, tremendously trunky (I saw another sister had an airplane on hers and it read 'going home' but that's a bit much, even for me).
The
work here goes well- we're working with an older man who is incredibly
intelligent and asks really deep questions. It’s sometimes a little baffling
and quite the challenge (though this was more of what I was expecting when
teaching people- some sort of brain power while sharing these 'new' doctrines
with people, as opposed to the weird baseless anti we get from time to time).
He's retired from a very high stress, tight deadline, heavy pressure job, so
he's pretty resistant to any kind of pushing we give him. We tried to set a
date with him for May 4th, and it's totally doable, it's just a matter of
meeting with him and getting him to church the next two Sundays. We fasted for
him yesterday.
We were
dropped by a young man this week- he's moving to New Mexico and likes smoking
weed and loose women too much to keep talking to Jesus people, I guess. No real
surprise there, but still disappointing. I wanted to know what he was like
sober.
Speaking
of sober, another man has been talking with us. He's very sincere in his
desire, and he's been through a lot. He's been clean of drugs for 7 months now
and has been on the right medication for a while as well (since finding the
right cocktail is such a challenge), and attributes all of the changes in his life
to finding God. Problem is that, like most churches, they get a little antsy
when we start talking to anyone in their flock.
Anyhow.
Another week, another chilly walk through the tiny neighborhoods of the area.
Love
you!
