Family!
So, this week, I have no idea what happened. It's been a long but
fast one. If that makes sense. We did go on exchanges though!
I love exchanges. I went with Sister Jacobs to Martinsburg, while
Sister Jones stayed here in C-Town with Sister Hollis. Sister Jacobs
and Sister Hollis are our Sister Trainer Leaders. They are awesome!
We both learned a lot. While on exchanges, I saw quite a few
interesting things. I thought Charles Town was interesting...nuh uh.
Not compared to Shepherds Town (town right next to Martinsburg).
We met some individuals that really made me smile (: It's odd that
people live this way, but pretty cool that they're content with the
simple things of life.
Now, the news in C-Town.
Ashley is off date :/ She's still getting baptized, but her parents
want to push it back. So, we plan on going over and having a
discussion with them. Kind of set some expectations. They want
to be more involved with it this time around, which is awesome!!
We're going to invite them to be taught with Ashley. It's gonna
be good (:
Kathy is on a smoke plan. She tapers off a certain amount of
cigarettes each day. Today, she should be on 4. She's been
doing great!! She's also probably annoyed with us texting her
24/7 making sure she's doing alright. haha.
That is about it for the C-Town. Oh, we received a solid referral
last night from the Spanish elders. We're stoked! We haven't
received a referral for like a week. A bit of a dry spell, I guess
you could call it.
I can't believe graduation has happened already. Where has
the time gone? Do you realize I hit my 4 month mark in 3 days?
haha, Kathy and Jeremy are going to make cake for us, because
of it. (: We're getting really close with Kathy.
I'm sorry to hear about Carole and Benita's mama. She is definitely
in a better place now (: The Plan of Salvation is real. Give them my
love.
I'm so proud of Wy for giving a talk on being a member missionary!
The work is hastening! It is what the work depends on… MEMBER
MISSIONARIES!! And what a perfect match. Wyatt is a strong member
missionary! AWESOME!!!!
Conversions are almost always more effective when members are
doing the contacting and coming with the missionaries to teach! It's
a real thing! I invite everyone who reads these letters (yes, I know that
a few of you are stalkin my blog page haha that’s what it’s for) to
really put forth the effort to share the gospel with EVERYONE. Us as
Full-Time missionaries, have been challenged to talk to 20 new people
a day. I challenge all of you to talk to 5 new people a day, about the
Gospel! Bring it up in your casual conversations. You don't need to sit
down and teach a huge lesson, all you need to do is share your life!!
I love this work. This IS the work of Salvation.
It is crucial to finding our Brothers and Sisters.
Make time for it! Waste no time!
This stuff is important.
I love you all so much (:
I pray for you every night.
Be safe.
Be smart.
And don't do dumb things.
<3/Your favorite missionary,
Sister Cas Brinkerhoff
