This week was good , but very long!! Elder Batty caught the crud and we ended up having to stay in the apartment for a good 3 days in a row!! We were still able to get out and do some work though! We have been working with a less active family the whole time I have been here in Mescalero so far, and the son in the family plays bball!! and actually pretty dang good! We went for a few minutes one night to one of his games.....and man....Rez ball is NUTs haha we saw l2 fist fights within the 20 minutes that we were there ha! You would have thought that they were playing football instead of basketball!! Pretty Entertaining!!
We also have been picking up quite a few Investigators even this week where we weren't able to accomplish much! Everyone in the Branch here has been a huge help with finding us new people to work with!! On an average Sunday we get about 12 people to church....counting us.....but yesterday we had almost 28! It was great to see that little tiny Chapel so full!
If you all will pray that we will continue to find success here working with the less active members and help them regain that testimony!!!
Time and time again on my mission I have learned that there are times to speak up, times to stand up, and times to shut up.....and that lesson can go even in life!! Sometimes we get put in situations where we should say something.....sometimes we get in places where we need to stand up for our Standards....and sometimes you just need to sit back and realized that you can learn something from someone!! There is a member here in Ruidoso that reminds me just of my Great Grandma AJ.......She is a hoot! And has taught me some amazing life lessons in just the few dinner appointments that we have had with her!! I encourage you all to take a time this week to humble yourself and just listen to what someone else has to say and promise that if you do it with the right mindset you will learn something!!
Hope y'all have a blessed week!
Love,
Elder Rose
