Man they need to make a collapsible electric cello, I was thinking about that the other day and they do that with guitars they need to do that for a cello so i could play, I have heard a few cellos in the music on the Ipod and I really want to play one resonantly.
So
I had a interview with my Mission president this week and I found out
that I am the reason why this whole mission is why we do car fasts on
Saturday. After our car got put in the shop and we
had
to ride bikes every where I loved it and saw many miracles because of
it and I talked it all up in a email to my mission president and then
that inspired him and got him to come up with the idea that we shouldn't
drive as much. =p I'm gonna be selective about who I tell that to
because It will probably get alot of missionaries ticked ha ha ha.
Also
speaking about the Miracles that came from the car crash I am still
seeing the impacts of that. I don't know If I told you about the guy
who saw us riding bikes and then a few hours later I knocked on his door
and said like 6 words and he let me in and we taught him a beautifully
golden lesson. Well I havn't been able to contact him since, UNTIL
NOW!
On friday we traded back from our trade offs and Me and
Elder A just like caught on fire we had the spirit with us and we
got super over the top pumped! WE BURNED a trail every where we went
that day.
I felt like we needed to go to the Branch mission leader's
house so I drove us to Hillman and we helped him out around in his back
woods house and then we talked to him about missionary work and we
shared with him what we call "The Vision" It is a super inspired plan
that Elder A just threw out to me while we were on the way to
Hillman and it turned out that I was studying near the exact same thing
in the Scriptures and PMG and then we were overwhelmed by the spirit
and we got super pumped.We shared this with Bro W and I have never
seen him so excited about missionary work, He was burnin up he was like
itchin to go and share the gospel.
from there we felt like we
needed to visit another member in the area so we did and we found out
that their basement was flooded and we spent some good time with them
(their basement floods just like our does but it gets alot more, we
spent like all of Saturday with a shop vac dumping gallons and gallons
of water out of there to watch it still come through the cracks of the
concrete) But we had to reschedule a teaching appointment because of it
and so we drove down to Alpena and we were about to drive all the way
down to Harrisville and we got a call from that investigator wanting a
rain check, So i am super glad we set it aside because that 40 minute
drive down to harrisville for nothing would have sucked.
I then had a
thought, to see that family that I door knocked into when we had no car
and we got in and taught a even more golden of a lesson where at one
point they explained to us the Word of Wisdom pretty much, and their
idea of what happened before and after this life was a piece of the
truth, and it was awesome getting to explain that they were right, but
there was more!
I then felt like we should go and try to contact a referral we got asking for a bible a while back and he was like
impossible to contact me and Elder W tried to contact him like 12
times. But Elder A and I contacted him a while back and gave him a
Book of mormon and a bible. We went there that night and he was super
excited to see us and he told us to come back in a hour and so we did.
And that lesson was even more Golden! He was devouring the book of
mormon, he loved it! He was like bearing testimony of the truthfulness
of the book of mormon to me and Elder A. He is in his 40's and he
is dying of cancer. And that is why he ordered a bible from Mormon.org
for free because he wanted to make things right with God. And then we
came and we found that out and we shared with him the plan of
Salvation....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That lesson was number
1. it was so cool!
He had no doubt that that was Gods plan for him, I
felt like i needed to so I did it, I invited him to be baptized and he
accepted. He then said "wait you guys don't have the proper priesthood
authority do you? you aren't the pastor of your church you're to young"
And then I have never even heard of some one actually having the chance
to use this and I was talking to several missionaries who are going home
at the end of this transfer who never had heard of any one actually
using this as well. Elder A Whooped out his Ministerial Certificate
and the guy was Amazed when he read that we have that Authority and then
saw the signature of the Prophet.
Oh man that was a good day! It seemed
that that fire that we had with us caught on every one else we met with
and every one was just getting super pumped. I think this area is about
to explode with work, we keep seeing Miracle after miracle here it is
amazing, I just begged my mission president not to transfer me because I foresee like 6 baptisms in the next 4 months.
For
Christmas Eve we are going down to Mt. Pleasant for a half mission
Christmas party so all of the missionaries from the Traverse city zone
and the Middland zone and the Lansing zone will be there =p. I AM SUPER
STOKED! I know for a fact that I will get to see a few more people from
my MTC district that I haven't seen since I left the mission home. Every
district has to perform a musical number and every one in Gaylord tapped
out saying none of them can do anything, so it fell over here for our
district, Elder A is really
musically talented too but he just got sick and sounds worse than a
chain smoker. and we still need to plan it out hymn 112 is what our plan
is right now but I may or may not be going Solo in front of 80
missionaries at least...........
So for
Christmas I have 3 meal appointments... We had 4 but we decided to tap
out on one of them who would have over fed us as it is. But we are opening Christmas presents at the Whites in the morning and being fed
for one of them. I realized that tis the season for Ugly sweaters and
the weather permits it and I havn't been rocking one yet so i bought one
at good will today. And Since we do our laundry at the "White
house" I have showed up there in a different outfit every single time
today ha ha ha
Aight well I gotta go Ill talk to you soon! Christmas! Be there! Come prepared to talk it up.
Love
- Elder Truman Rex Crockett
