And now, for the report from Sandusky South

Hello everyone!

This week was... weird. We would go out for half days, or whole days, or quarter days, or none days, depending on how Sister Bennett's been feeling. It's a trial, not being able to just go out and WORK, but we're getting through it. The Lord is helping us see miracles with the time we do use well.

One of them is that we got TWO new investigators out of our ONE nonmember lesson this week. WOW!! They are two sisters, Kay and Tianni, and they have kids that we get to meet tonight. One has two kids and the other has three. Our challenge (according to them) is to keep the kids interested in the Restoration, and then they'll want to learn more and  come to church. Challenge accepted. :) We're bringing a wonderful member, and we're begging for the Lord's help, because we want them to keep investigating!

Another miracle was how many non-tracting finding ideas we've had this week. Sister Bennett does NOT have energy to tract, and sometimes even stop-by's are too much. So, we've been doing things like organizing a bible study class (which we want to finalize this week and start next week), went to City Hall in Bellevue and asked about volunteer opportunities, and we now have a booth in an Open-Air Market this week. There's no set-up fee, and they said we can give away literature!! We help them set up, so they like us more. ;)

We've also tried this cool new idea that Elder Cuestas told us about that he did in East Cleveland: We've been drawing the Plan of Salvation in parks with sidewalk chalk, and putting our number and mormon.org next to it, and on our last one we wrote, "Where did I come from?", "What is my purpose in life?" and "Where do I go after this life?" near their respective places in the plan. The miracle with this one was: It was raining, then it stopped, and as soon as we started drawing the clouds visibly started moving and by the time we were drawing the Spirit World the sky was blue. :D The Lord can calm seas (New Testament), stir up storms (Zion's Camp), and stop rain!! :D It started raining again later, but that must mean that whoever needed to see our Plan of Salvation saw it, and so he cleaned the sidewalk so we can draw it again this week. :)

I'm being kicked off by the library. :P I love you all! have a fantastic week!

Love, 

Sister McKayla Richards
