Yeah on Wednesday Oliver came home! So does that make me Elder Dahl 1.0? Because I'm now the only Elder Dahl out? Eh maybe.
But also on Wednesday, we saw the demolition of the only McDonald's in presque îsle! And brother stiggle requested the booths so we helped deliver those to his restaurant. And man those were nasty. The bottom parts of booths coated in grease and who knows what else. But that just made my soul that much whiter! Service is so fun! It starts like a tedious task but in the end it's way more worth it! And we did quite a bit! We have been helping out the local libraries, and chamber of commerce places and are getting pretty tight with the staff! So who knows what kind of blessings are in store?
Then the next day was a couple graduation/assembly's for a lot of the members kiddos that we were invited to so we got to support them and Alex and his fam! It was a concert deal and where dressed like us (white shirts and ties) and we probably got mistaken by a few people. It was tempting to just get up there and sing with them, but oh well haha. We also tried to stop by some other members and unfortunately didnt have much luck, but we did find a cool guy named Doug in the process! It was super cool because hes a real shy guy, but his car got stolen the day before, and elder Scott could relate because his truck also got stolen. But he was totally open to having us come back! So we got his contact info and visited him a few days later! And found that some kind of missionary visited him quite a bit and read the bible with him so us coming was probably an answer to his prayer and there is quite a bit more in store for him that just reading scriptures haha.
There was also a "art walk" going on in presque isle and there was a potters wheel demonstration that I got to try out! And man I made a pretty cute little vase! But unfortunately the whole point was to try to make something and then YEET it at a target (dont worry theres a vid) and my tie shirt and slacks got a little rekted haha. But hey along with that, we got our faces out there! And talked to quite a few people and saw some questionable art...
Then when Sunday came around we were a little iffy on who would come to church. Especially when it comes to Alex's family because Joshua works ever other Sunday and Alex plays in a graduation on Sunday at 11 and wasn't to committed to coming to church. Plus Church starts at 10 so... but that didnt stop Amanda from being a champ and bringing Alex! Heck yeah!
Also sometime this week we got a referral from salt lake city. His name is Nestor and he wanted a Book of Mormon. And he lives quite a bit out there but still in our area, so we figured we would try in the morning and see what happens. Then Miracle! We caught Nestor coming home from grocery shopping and had a stellar conversation with him. He knows these are the last days and is looking for a place to raise his kids that isn't full of fake people and hypocrites. And not gonna lie, he looks like uncle Rico, but a little skinnier haha. We meet with him again this last week with the idea of teaching him about the restoration, but instead about what the church has been doing as well as what the prophet has told us. He's got a few things to work on, but hes already on his way! Hes super fun too!
Then zone conference! We had elder Hamilton come from the 70 and he talked about how to utilize members better and how to use family history effectively. And I took a lot of notes but I remember feeling the spirit so powerfully when he spoke. He admitted that he had questions about the gospel and the process of various doctrines, but he didnt have doubts! We got to ask him questions and I asked what his favorite scripture is. (I heard that my dad asked that question to a apostle or something like that on his mission so I figured why not.) And he told us Helamen 5:12 which is a scripture I have used many times when teaching. And that scripture is so full of the spirit.
Love you all really and truly and appreciate your prayers. They are answered.
Until next time!
