This week in Shelbyville was pretty uneventful. A stark contrast to
last week, so maybe we're in for a treat next week.
On Thursday, we had to opportunity to receive training from Elder
Wakolo, our area Seventy. Wow. It was amazing. That man knows the
scriptures. It was one of the most spiritual experiences on my
mission. Hermana Fluckiger and I walked out of there overwhelmed. It
was humbling.
We had a really neat experience yesterday with Mauricio, a less-active
member. We felt like we needed to get him to the new member fireside
in Louisville, but he just flat out didn't want to go. Honesty at its
finest. :) Hermana Fluckiger felt really strongly that he needed to
share his testimony, but he just wouldn't budge. After 30 minutes of
begging, we found Guillermo sitting on his bike outside of his
apartment. We had a lesson with him on The Restoration. We invited
Mauricio to share his testimony, and we both felt the Spirit so
strongly. God works in mysterious ways, and He always works things
out. Even though Mauricio didn't get to the fireside, he shared a
powerful testimony with us, maybe something he wasn't sure he had.
We had two exchanges this week. Holy moly! Sister Cook and I had an
eventful night. Janie, a recent convert, drove us to Downtown
Louisville in what you would call a "beater." Sister Cook and I tried
some people in the area. With no luck, we headed to their apartment.
We got home at 9:00 when I realized that all of my stuff was still in
Janie's trunk, and she lived 20 minutes away. Well, on her way home
her car started shaking and making a really loud noise so she was
parked at a motel only two miles away from us. When we got to her, her
car wasn't making the noise or shaking. She started up her car to
drive it around the parking lot and when she backed, Sister Cook found
her back tired completely shredded! She had a blowout and didn't even
know it! What do you get when you put three girls together who have
never changed a tire before? A stranger from Michigan to the rescue.
He was an answer to our prayers. Thank you, Andrew! Janie got a spare
put on, Andrew got a Book of Mormon as payment, and I learned that I
had no idea how to actually change a tire. You learn something new
every day! :)
Hopefully this week will be more eventful. We're really trying to find
the elect, those who are ready to hear the gospel and act on the
things we teach. We know that they are here.
Loveyouins!

I walked out of the bathroom to find this. That's a knife in his hand.
