Riverside/Dows Lake Week 4
Things are pretty good. I just hope what I'm doing really is all my heart might mind and strength.
We have a Dinner Appointments. So much so, we don't really need to buy groceries. Instead, we buy goodies and candies from T&T, an Asian market and share them with everyone.
I'm borrowing a violin from a member of the stake presidency here and we are going to play O Little Town of Bethlehem together for the stake Christmas thing here. I'm also hoping to use it in finding like playing on the side of the road or in the park.
The person we are teaching who has a baptismal date told us he hasn't smoked in two weeks and has stopped weed for a week. I was so hyped when he told us. We are sending him suggestions of where to read the Book of Mormon everyday. He comes to alot of the YSA activities and often church too, so it's really good.
Yesterday, we fulfilled a district goal to try different creative ways of finding ways to teach. The method we were assigned was service knocking, where we knock doors and offer to help with yard work or anything for free. Except when we got to the neighborhood we didn't feel like knocking, so we just started shoveling this driveway. Most homes in this neighborhood have a snow removal company, but they don't always get the ice that's harder to remove. We did this driveway for probably about an hour. The person who lived there then pulled up in her car while we were there. She was very confused because we had never met and she asked if her father hired us. We gave her a light the world card and left. We then did another driveway and the person came out to talk to us. We talked a little and learned english was difficult for him so we told him about English Connect! He then insisted he pay us for the driveway. We said no many times. My companion ran away. The man then shoved 40 dollars into my hoodie. We'll have to sneak it into a pamphlet or Book of Mormon we give him when we go back.
