Hi Everyone.
Wow time is flying by. We had so many things happen this week. First next week we are taking our P-day on Friday to attend the temple. Our week has too many appointments that are standing to be able to go earlier in the week and on Tuesday the entire mission is gathering at Spokane Temple to hear Elder L. Tom Perry. It will be an amazing experience. We have invited Rubie to take us. We are hoping she'll be able too. =) Also tomorrow keep Rich, Rubie's husband in your prayers. He's having an operation done.
Miracles of the week- Mary didn't cancel even though she thought about it after her son had confronted her about meeting with us and wasting our time. We explained that we understand her expectations and that the Spirit is so strong there and the Lord is taking her on a journey to come back. I still am blown away at the power that comes as we all kneel in prayer together. It brings me to tears every time at closing.
Judy and John got a strong dose of us this last week but Judy's reception of us has totally changed. Where she use to object she now nods her head. We did service for them and she feed us dinner. Speaking of eating Brother Bares stuffed us Tuesday had to call in the Elders to help us eat all the food he prepared. It was ridiculous. But fun to spend time with him. We brought back the meal calendar and two families signed up for last night. We ate two back to back dinners. Good thing it was fast Sunday and we had room.
John prayed for us. It was beautiful at our Thursday lesson. I was blown away by his sincerity. Funny thing was getting a referral from the Church for him while we were at his house. Just had to laugh.
Ione was amazing. We had some break through with some of the members and I am sad we weren't there for testimony meeting. Donna came and bore her testimony. Bro. Divis said it was strong and brought the tears. I am thrilled for her and Sister Carmen bore her testimony even though she told us she wouldn't be doing that two months in a row. She spoke of how touched she was that we came to her home. We had fun with her kids and there truly is a power that comes from having the missionaries come into your home. Sis. Ervin opened up to us. I just gave her a big hug. I am so grateful to know that the atonement can mend our past and make us whole.
P.E.C. was an intersting experience. We got a lot out on the table. It was productive and several of the members asked me if I was upset afterwards, I responded no and made sure we were good. There were a lot of concerns and the ward felt distant from us. We had a good response to bringing back the meal calendar and having a member visit sign up sheet.
Just love it here and the people. Looking for miracles this week. Hope you are too.
Love always Sister Peck
