The Pattern Breaks (11/14/2018)
Hello everybody,
Here are my notes for things to communicate in my weekly email to you all:
• I'm 22
Yeah, that about covers it.
Okay,
a little bit more information: things with aforementioned people we're
teaching along with some others are progressing slowly but somewhat
surely, with many delays. We'll get there...
A
guy named Jon who we recently started teaching has had work these past
two weeks preventing him from coming to church. Then he tells us that he
is free to come next week! We mentioned that this past Sunday morning
at Ward Council and the Bishop reminded us that next week is Stake
Conference. ...So close.
We've
been raking a lot of leaves. Yesterday we raked an entire backyard of
some members and it took two hours. Mountains of leaves take a lot of
effort to move.
Oh yeah,
so the transfer ends tomorrow and I'm staying in Ashland with Elder
Lewis. This is the first time I have been with a companion for more than
a single transfer! The pattern is officially ended.
One
thing I've been thinking about lately is following the promptings of
the Spirit. They are so small and subtle sometimes and often I feel like
they contradict what I feel is a reasonable direction to go in, and yet
every time I ignore a prompting because it seems illogical I pretty
soon feel lost and abandoned. That's what happened last night when we
ended up walking for much too long and wasting time because I didn't
follow a prompting to turn around and move on instead of heading where
we were trying to head (a place that was much further than it seemed to
be and turned out to not exist anyway).
A person we're teaching wished me a Happy Birthday on Facebook! Haha, that was kinda cool.
Reminder that P-days are changing to Mondays, so I'll catch you in 5 days.
Love,
Elder Gallagher
Pics: Something we saw this morning on a telephone pole next to a neighborhood market. Yup, we're in Amish country alright.
And some isolated highlights I "screenshotted" and then stitched together from The Fourth Missionary (which you all should have read but if you didn't here is a little taste of it).
