This week was pretty good! On Thursday we had an exchange. I got to go to the District Leaders area. I've been there a couple of times. They have a pretty nice area! They have a lot of really awesome members.
On Tuesday we had a training in District Meeting about the importance of member work. In our area we don't have too many members but we just have to learn to work with who we have. Pretty much this whole week we just went by active and less active members. I'm starting to see a lot more trust built between the missionaries and members. It's a very good thing! One of our members also wants us to start teaching his niece and her family. That is the whole point of member work! Things are starting to roll with the members.
We also still have the Martinez family. They didn't make it to church this Sunday but when we went by Sunday night they were super excited to see us. They also had some friends over that seemed pretty interested. They don't live in our area so we passed along their information to the correct Elders. But the Martinez family is doing amazing. We just need to work super hard with them and they should be baptized in the beginning of December!
Our car is going to be in the shop for the next couple of days so we have to ride our bikes. I don't know what will happen because from our apartment to the middle of our area is 14 miles! So it should be interesting. But we still have our members so I think things will work out just fine!
I've been studying the Atonement a lot lately. The Atonement is such a deep topic. I love it! I wouldn't be anywhere without it!
One thing we have been doing with families lately is inviting them to bare their testimonies. Also with the Thanksgiving holiday just around the corner we have been challegeing them all to have one of their prayers be only of thanks. I have started to do the same. Every morning prayer is just thanks! I've already seen a difference that it's making in me. Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in what we don't have and we really need to focus on all the amazing things we do have.
I hope you all have a good week!
Love, Elder Hurst
It's sweater weather down here in Brownsville! It's gotten pretty cold lately and it's been raining a ton! Everyone says the winters are super cold. So I need to find a nice jacket/coat! I already bought myself a nice sweater! Just ignore the hat!
This is a huge twix bar that one of our members had!
