Dear Family and Friends,
The work this week was rather slow with it being the 4th of July. Members were out of town as well as many of our potentials and investigators. We were still able to keep busy visiting less-actives though. We're getting excited for the ward picnic in the park this week and have challenged many members to visit specific potentials/investigators as well as other friends they know. We were able to remember to ask for referrals and are reaping the rewards from that. We're continuing to plan and prepare for the Robinhood festival and have faith that our efforts will pay off in the finding aspect. We had a great fast Sunday with many meetings. Our stress level is a little bit lower now that the ward is more on board with us. The ward mission leader is contacting active families this week to find us opportunities to refine our teaching skills since the work is slow right now. We look forward to a busy week ahead of us!
For the 4th of July my companion and I went to a barbeque with a family in our ward. We played Monopoly Mega with some nonmembers. Afterwards, we went to Mormon Lane (A street with numerous members living on it) to watch fireworks. It was fun but also weird to take a break from the work and sit around talking for such a long time. While holidays are good, my companion and I are happy to be immersed in the work again.
I've been learning a lot about agency recently and have strived harder to choose to give away all my stress, worries, negative emotions, and inadequacies to Christ. I am so grateful for the enabling power of the Atonement. The fact that it IS the most important thing is reinforced every day. If you think about it, we're really here to learn how to control our agency. Every choice we make impacts who we are becoming. When we neglect to read our scriptures because we didn't 'have time,' we are choosing not to make time. I challenge/urge/exhort/invite/
I love you all!
Until next week,
Sister King
