Week 16 Clermont


This was a crazy Week! the weather was pretty crazy as normal. It was a pretty stressful week with a great finish. We had some wicked lightning this week. I haven't ever seen lightning like that before. There was one that started above the cloud went straight down through the cloud and hit the ground. Coolest thing ever! Also there has been a lot of what they call heat lightning which is just a bunch of humidity basically with lightning all over in the sky. I love it!

On Monday we had to clean up our house and pack everything in it because we had to move out of our house this week into an apartment. We spent all morning and most of the day packing. Wednesday was crazy. We moved everything out that day. It took from about 7am to 2 pm and then on top of that we were trying to make District meeting work which we had in the afternoon. It was insane! We have 3 different companionships in our district: Clermont, Clermont Spanish, and Minneola. We were living with Clermont Spanish until we moved out. We took Minneola's apartment and they got a new one so we were moving stuff all over the place! To say the least I was exhausted. To add onto that, Minneola was living in there new place for a couple days when they came home to a flooded apartment. Their washer broke so they are waiting to see if they can still live there or not. Crazy stuff lol.

Saturday and Sunday were a great end to the week. Saturday afternoon we were about to head into a referral that was a family so I got the feeling that I needed to put a bunch of restoration pamphlets in my bag so I did. Well nobody answered and I forgot about all the pamphlets I stick in my bad. That evening we went to our investigators house, the Wiltons, to teach them. We brought 2 members with us and when we got there expecting only 3 people, there were actually 8! Plus us and the 2 members so in total there were 12 people! It was practically like we were teaching a class. He Wiltons took in a bunch of their friends who were living on the street. One of them thought he was going to prove us wrong. As we were sitting down he was like, "this is going to be fun." In a sarcastic way. We taught them all the Restoration with us, the members, and the Wiltons testifying of how it is true. Between all of this, the guy who was going to bash with us couldn't say anything. The spirit was directing the lesson and I know it did because for some reason I stuck the perfect amount of Restoration pamphlets in my bag! Such an amazing experience! Sunday came around and we were waiting for people to greet as they came into church Miltons and the whole crew showed up! We had 8 total investigators at church. Along with that we had a few members bring some of their nonmember family and friends that we can hopeful start teaching soon. It was definitely an end to a great week.

This week in church they talked about finding the lost sheep and how we need to leave the ninety and nine to go find that one which is lost. It was a great meeting. It made me reflect on what I can do more to reach out to the lost sheep even if sometimes that requires us to
leave our comfort zone (the ninety and nine) to reach out to someone who needs saving (less active).

Well I hope you all had an amazing week! Love you all!
