Hellooooo everyone!!! I feel like these letters are really boring and put people to sleep but thank you to whoever reads them lol. Anyway, I'm convinced time doesn't exist on the mission. This week feels like it has been really long but so short at the same time. A lot happened so let's get into it!
Monday: For p day we had our first district activity of the transfer with the new district. We traveled to Findlay and we all ate at Olive Garden. I haven't eaten there in forever and it was so good. I got the classic never ending soup and salad and I was very happy. After that, we were going to go mini golfing but it was raining so we decided on Goodwill. Sister Hamblin and I bought 2 new puzzles that we were very excited about.
Tuesday: Tuesday was a good day. We went to Fostoria as usual and it was good as always. When we got back to Tiffin we had a lesson with our friend Preston. The lesson went really well and at the end, we invited him to be baptized and he said yes!! He got the biggest smile on his face and it was so precious. Right after the lesson, we got a call from his aunt, Sister Reza, and she said she had just gotten off the phone with him and he is sooooo excited and so are we!! He really wants his grandpa to baptize him so his baptismal date is October 16th which is a Sunday. How cool is that?!? That night, we were doing our puzzle and 2 people texted us to set up dinner appointments! We don't really get fed so that was the best!!
Wednesday: We went to our service that we go to every Wednesday and Thursday and we taped boxes which is always fun. The highlight of the day was that night when we went over to the Padula's for dinner. They are the ones that fed us the best food I have ever had and the husband Michael is a pastor to 2 other churches. The food was AMAZING and we watched a church video with them afterward. As we were looking for the video Michael told us that he has shown church videos to his congregations before! I just love them!
Thursday: We met with these 2 brothers that the Baldwins have been seeing one of them is a less active member (John) and the other isn't a member at all (Wayne). Wayne told the Baldwins that he was interested in the lessons so we picked him up. We found out later from another sister that used to serve here that Wayne used to be completely anti. It is my favorite thing to see the Lord softening the hearts of people in Tiffin. He told us a story about how his wife and he died an hour apart in 2 different hospitals. When he passed, his wife came to him and said "I'll be here waiting for you when it's your turn but you still have something to do." I felt the spirit so strong when he told us that.
Friday: We had zone conference and it was really fun. While we were eating lunch one of the APs was gathering us to take a picture and he started by saying "all the sisters 5'8" and above come sit on the chairs. I was expecting at least 2 other sisters to walk up with me but I was the ONLY one!! Like seriously what??? It was a little embarrassing not gonna lie.
Saturday/Sunday: This weekend was General Conference and it was so good!! I know President Nelson is a prophet of God and he receives revelation for the church. God IS real. I know He sees each one of us and knows the questions and concerns in our hearts. Just ask! I just love this gospel and the peace it has brought me in my life. I love you all sooo much and so does Heavenly Father!!
Trust in the Lord
Love,
Sister Welch
