So it's a little weird emailing again when it's only been half a week. So
let's see, what happened. Okay, I think the biggest thing was Saturday. We went
out to Kisby and Carlyle. I went on splits with Bro Brown and we went to Ocean
Man ( a native reserve), and Elder French went with Bro Earle to Carlyle. We
were working with some of the less active members in the branch. We were
inviting them to church because once a month there is a meeting in Carlyle,
which is significantly closer for some members than Weyburn. Well, Bro Brown and
I started off, and we had about 3 possible appointments. They all fell through,
so we had 4 hours and not many ideas of what we could do. Bro Brown made a bunch
of phone calls, and we ended up meeting with his neighbor in Kisby. We taught
about the Book of Mormon and invited her to church. It was pretty good, but I
don't think that we'll be teaching her again cause she lives about 45 minutes
from Weyburn. She's in our area, but we have limited K's.
But, anyways, we ended up knocking doors in Kisby to invite everyone to
church. We only planned on being out for 30 minutes, and our 30 minutes were up.
But I felt like we should knock one more door, so we did. We talked
with this guy for a while, and he said he would like to go to church. It was
pretty neat.
After that, we went to Lampman to meet with Matt and Mona. It was so weird.
It was the most spirtual lesson I've had with them, though. It was amazing! Bro
Earle came with us, and he invited them to church. They drove to Carlyle to go.
And they want to go to Weyburn as well. It was good we were able to learn about
some of their concerns. We also learned that they want to be baptized! It's just
going to be rough meeting with them because they're so far away. We might have
to meet via skype or something.
The branch here in Weyburn is great. It's pretty small, so I was asked to
speak. They get pretty excited when there's someone new. I suspect that all
missionaries are given the opportunity to speak. Anyways, the members are super
strong. They are amazing at fellowshipping! I'm convinced that a branch is the
best place to join the church. You can get to know everyone if you come to
church once! ha ha..it's been great serving here. I've really enjoyed being with
the Regnier's. They love missionaries. Bro Regnier comes to appointments with
us, and his sons come and play sports with us on p-days. It's a lot of
fun!
Oh! here's a neat story. We were tracting on Thursday, but then we left to
go to an appointment. Afterwards, Elder French had the idea to go back to the
street we were on before our appointment. It wasn't in our plans, but we decided
to go back. About the 3rd door we knocked on, an old lady answered. We talked
for a minute, and then her husband walked up. I admit, the thought may have
crossed my mind that he was going to cut us off and send us on our way. But he
smiled and said, "we're not doing anything important. Do you want to come in?"
So we told him, no we're busy. No, of course we went in! I guess he had seen us
when we were around earlier, and he felt neglected that we didn't stop by!
ha ha. We taught them about the Book of Mormon and read in 3 Nephi. The Spirit
was so strong! The man kept saying, "We're quite comfortable with our religion."
Yet, he really wants to learn more. We'll see how they feel when they begin to
meet with us and read the Book of Mormon daily.
OK, I think I covered it all. I hope all of you have a great week. I love
you.
Love,
Elder C. Lyons
