This week we celebrated our three month anniversary of our mission!
In some ways it seems like so much longer, we have had years of experiences in just these three months! It seems like we were at the MTC years ago!
We LOVE being senior missionaries serving in Coshocton, Ohio and love the members of our branch! We typically have 25 - 30 people attend church on Sunday and that will include several non members.
Someone asked us the other day to put into one sentence our mission so far, and we said: Feeding, Driving, Learning and Experiencing Miracles!
Feed: We feed a lot of people! We invite people into our home (members and non members) and we help with the after church meal each week, we feed the young missionaries and bring treats to every institute class. For example last week we helped feed or treat about 55 people!
Drive: We drive many miles to far reaching areas to find people- we have put on about 9,000 miles on our car in the past three months. We even named our car Buckeye! The scenery is so lovely, what a beautiful state! Some people don't want to have much to do with us, and then we meet someone who turns out to be someone who might return!
And of course we love that and it makes the trips so worth it!
Learn: We learn! We thought we were coming on a mission to teach, but we are learning soooo much! We learn so much and many awesome things as we interact with and watch the lives of the people in our city, branch and mission! And we learn tons as we prepare and teach our institute class.We tell everyone we teach Bible Study!
Sometimes our brains get tired!
Sometimes our brains get tired!
Miracles: And MIRACLES! It is amazing to see the Lord's hand manifest itself in the lives of the people that we are working with and also our lives.
We just marvel at how we get to watch the unfolding of the Lord's work!.
And it is His work! So many miracles!
