Hey everyone!
They switched our P-Day to coincide with the 4th, so happy 4th! We started out the day with a ward pancake breakfast, which was so good! And because they moved P-Day around, there's too much to write about from the last week and a half. So I'll just talk about some of the bigger things.
We've been able to have some awesome lessons with the Wei family! They have such a great thirst for knowledge, and they're trying to implement prayer into their lives too! We extended a baptismal invite to them, but they don't believe they're ready yet. But it's no problem! We're here to help them, and that's the big thing I'll ask of y'all this week. Keep them in your prayers! They've come to love church, the ward is super inviting, and they're just awesome!
We got to help the JustServe lady in our ward with a booth at Rochester Fest! Really, they just left us to run the booth for an hour a half, but it was fun. We were just trying to introduce the JustServe app to as many people as we could, so it was too bad. The worst art was that the wind was so bad that it broke the gazebo we were supposed to have over us, so we were just in the sun. Luckily, I've noticed that I don't burn too bad here because of the lower elevation, so that was nice. We also got to meet a member from Austin named Rolando. He gave us a training on streeting and talking to people last transfer, so it was cool to see him there. He even bought us lemonade!
Here's an awesome spiritual experience! Last Monday, we were kinda lagging along towards the end of P-Day hours, so when we finally left the church, someone else pulled into the parking lot. They came up to us wondering if we were members, but then saw the tags and they were so happy! Ths family, the Site's, were in town for getting testing done for the husband at Mayo Clinic. They came to the church looking for someone to give a blessing, and luckily 3 sets of missionaries were heading out at that time. So we pulled in the Roch 4 Elders, and we were able to give the blessing. I definitely know that the family was led to the church because we were there. It was a very special moment. Something I don't try to take for granted is being a part of those moments for people. I've been so very blessed to be an instrument in the Lord's hands for people for almost 7 months now. And I can't wait to do more of it!
That's all I really got for y'all. The next email probably won't be very long either since it's only 3 days from now. But, just keep looking for miracles and ways to be miracles for others!
Love Y'all!
Sincerely,
Elder Buchanan
