This is Bertha one of McKennah's "investigators" come to find out she was already BAPTIZED years ago, she just forgot! She turns 97 this coming Saturday!
The house of a referral they had, but the house was burnt down!
Sister Eaton's email:
Dear Friends and Family, This week has been a pretty good week. The most frustrating thing we have had to deal with is losing our phone. I kid you not it has just vanished into thin air. We searched high and low for that thing. We retraced our steps, dumped out our bags, and had the elders and even ward members call it and nothing. It's gone for life. Thankfully we will be getting a new one tomorrow because it's transfers and Elder Slade will be bringing us a new one. :)
Second thing, TRANSFERS. I am not leaving Ruston but my trainer ( and best companion ever) is leaving. She will be going back to the Hattiesburg zone in Mississippi. I kind of felt like the spirit has been preparing me for this news all week but I still took it pretty hard. We have gotten along so well and she has made these last 7 weeks for me amazing. She has led by example and really taught me what it means to love people for who they really are and to be positive all the time. She has really been such a blessing and light in my life so I am really heart broken that we have to part ways. I love her so so much! :) We will be driving to Monroe tomorrow to drop her off and then I will wait in Monroe for a few hours for my new companion to arrive! I am so nervous to meet her but really excited to get to know her! Big things are in store! :)
Other than that this week has been fairly uneventful. We did teach our new investigator, Hieu, The Gospel of Jesus Christ and it was very difficult. Hieu is from Vietnam and so most of what we were telling him just went over his head. We had to use a lot of analogies and examples to teach him and it was a very long lesson. We are going back this Friday to teach him the restoration but I really think we should just re teach him The Gospel of Jesus Christ and really make sure that he understands it. Maybe teaching it again will help the spirit reach him because he is already familiar with it. I am not sure what we will do there yet.
It is currently raining again as I am typing this and I am really hoping that this storm blows over because I cannot handle three days of rain again. When it rains here it is literally like an ocean falling out of the sky, seriously.
Well that is mostly it for this week, sorry it is not more eventful. I love you all and miss you lots and lots! Hope everyone has a great week!
Sister Eaton ❤️
