Every week in the mission field is amazing in it's own way but this week has had a little bit of everything!!!
One night we passed by a former, Javier, and asked him about the Book of Mormon he said he remembered two guys coming over and talking to him about it but he wasn't really interested in us coming back. He said he didn't feel uplifted or strengthened when he learned more about the Book of Mormon from the other missionaries. We talked a lot about the spirit and peace that comes from the Book of Mormon and I asked him if he feels that peace everyday and he says some days but not everyday. And I asked him if he would want that peace everyday and he basically said he wasn't sure anymore. By asking a few more questions, he expressed that he isn't too sure of God right now or where his life is going. I testified that our message would bring that assurance and he still wasn't down to take it. While we ultimately just left him with a gospel of Jesus Christ pamphlet and no return appointment it was such a powerful contact. I felt the spirit so strong and I truly felt the Holy Ghost guide me to ask inspired questions. I really feel like he needed a full opportunity to accept the gospel of Jesus Christ, and although he didn't accept it. I hope that one day he will remember that experience when he is in need of the peace that comes from this gospel.
Also l had the best adventure one day this past week. To start off the day, we had an appointment very early in the morning and we are a bit low on miles so we decided to bike!!! As we were leaving we realized it was drizzling but we didn't think much of it and told ourselves, people in biking areas deal with this all the time, no way out we cant be complaining! So we biked to the far end of Farmersville (7.4 miles) and our appointment fell through hahaha. So we turned right back around and biked to the Conyer Building from Farmersville for weekly planning (8.4 miles) and it was poouuuurrrrriiinnnnggggg rain. Seriously my bag and my shirt both turned a few shades darker.Haha. But so fun because on the Church building there is a farm with a bunch of cows!!! So we took a break to try and get them to come over to us so we could pet them!!! And one of them licked me hee hee. It made my day!!!!!
Transfers are this week! I am being transferred to Lindsay. A small little town near Porterville, Ca. I will be training again!!! It will be another wild adventure, but I'm ready for a fresh start and new challenges!
btw my missionary email has changed to kmbrown@missionary.org
