We had another busy and crazy week this week. We don't have a car anymore cause they took one of ours and gave it to one of the new areas. So we only have two cars between 5 companionships so we have been walking a ton. Which is good cause I need the exercise. Anyways our week was good we invited 12 people to church on Sunday and they came, so that was awesome. :) And we have 5 people with a baptismal date so that is good. My first restoration lesson was so awesome. When we were teaching I was like man this is true cause the spirit was so strong. And I was teaching it to someone else. So hopefully she felt the same way too. I think she did cause after she was like when is church? It was so cool. We had a lot of lessons this week so that was good. :) We are teaching a family, a lady and her 4 kids and they are thee cutest I love them all. Whenever they see me and Sister Merriman they run up and give us great big hugs. It’s so cute and makes us so happy. :) We went and had a lesson with them on Saturday and man it was pretty crazy. The tv was on full blast and the kids were running around everywhere. It was so bad we tried to get everyone settled down but it didn't work. They came to church on Sunday though. They love going to church they even invite their little cousins and tell them how much they love church. When we were at there house on Saturday Danny the oldest boy was like I am so excited for church. And we told his cousin that he should come with D
anny and he asked us do you pray at your church and we said yeah. Then he said okay I want to come. So every Sunday they bring at least 2 or 3 cousins. The lady in our ward who picks them up says that she feels bad cause every Sunday there is a huge line up of kids that want to go to church but she only has room for 6 people. So this Sunday we are going to have 2 people go pick them all up :) We also had another lesson with them on Sunday after church this time we took some members with us and that helped so much. The kids were quieter and actually listened so it went really well. Having members at lessons makes a huge difference. Also having member referral's is key. Our most solid investigators are member referral's. Also while we were teaching the word of wisdom on Sunday their older cousins who had just been out smoking walked in right as we were telling them the things that were bad for their bodies. haha talk about awkward. We are also teaching this woman named Debbie she just got baptized in May but has to have all of the new member lessons. She is so funny she is probably one of my favorites. She is also a less active member because she has terminal cancer and gets really sick so she can’t come to church a lot. She came last Sunday and we were so so happy. It’s hard for her to go places cause she has to be on oxygen 24/7. We are trying to get her to the temple soon cause we know she will love it. Speaking of the temple we are going to the Chicago temple on Saturday with one of our new ward missionaries and are so so so excited. :)
Love you all
LOVE Sister Gittins
