Hey Y'all!!!
This week Hermana Moran's health has been on a roller coaster which means that so has our missionary work. At the beginning of the week we spent our time at the apartment and then on Thursday we were finally able to go out and work a whole day!!! I was so excited! We were able to work full days on Thurs, Fri and Sat! It was so funny cause I would be driving back from the day of work and it was like 9 o clock and as we drove into the apartment complex Sister Morna would have t o remind me to stop so we could check the mail!! That is a sign of how hard we worked that day- when the evening comes and we are going back home, and I forget to check the mail, MAN We WORKED hard that day and I am exhausted!! lol So ya we have been able to get some work in and that makes me very happy!! But then yesterday after church Hna Moran was not feeling well again and the evening was spent in the apartment. SO ya her health is a total roller coaster right now. The specialist up in Austin didn't really have a clue what was wrong with her but he gave her some meds and that has helped a little bit. So ya we will keep on trekking and if we have to spend some time not working, well that's ok, I've learned how to be productive at the apt. Ha ha the first attached pic is what I did in between my productive study time. I took a break and had some fun with my new scrapbook supplies (thanks mom) and with the old ensigns we have. I made us some fitting wall art for the year. lol
So when we were able to work this week we did a lot with the members and less actives. Since it's the beginning of the month we have the miles to go to the furthest parts of our area. So the other day we went out to visit some people that live way out in the boonies. The bishop being one of them. He and his family were shocked to see us, and man when we drive all the way out there ya just gotta let us in and listen to a message! ha ha SO ya we visited some far out there members and we wanted to visit this one family in teh ward that lives in Seguin (another city) but hey are still in our boundaries and in our ward. SO ya we got a sketched out map from bishop of how to get there and once we started driving we realized that we prolly should have gotten a more detailed map from Bishop! We ended up driving out to New Braunsfels!!! That would be the second attached picture! lol We were starting to feel like we must have past it and then when we saw that sign we knew we were WAY too far!! ha ha So ya we used a lot of miles this week! We did finally find this family's house and had a real great chat with them and got to know them better and it was so cute cause when we got there the mom asked her 4 year old son who we were. He looked at his mom and was like, mom there the missionaries!! It was so cute cause he was like, duh mom. And so then she asked him if he knew who we worked for and it was so cute cause he very matter-of-factly said "Jesus- that's who!" Ha ha so totally worth the accidental drive out to New Braunsfels. :)
So I will leave you with a thought- 1 out of every 1,000 doors we knock out here as missionaries has a person who will be baptized. But 630 out of every 1,000 member referrals we get will be baptized. Chew on that! lol Ya so for example this week we had 2 member referrals and we got to contact both of them and we were invited right in and taught a lesson! That was sweet!! We love member referrals!!! So ya we also knocked this week and out of all the hours of knocking we did we got an appointment
with this seventeen year old kid next week. SO ya it's not hard to guess which one is more effective!! So ya here is me pushing y'all to be member missionaries- cause we sure can't do this work on our own!!!!!
Alright well not much else to report now, we are still working with our same investigators, no one is progressing right now, but hey we will keep on working on them!!!
Ok well I love y'all and appreciate your support!!!
Much Love,
Hermana Kleisler
SMILING ALL THE WHILE!!!
