On Wednesday we drove out to Spring lake to attend their district council. Then we drove all the way back to Wyoming. Then we drove all the way back down to Holt on the South side of Lansing. Now you're probably wondering why on earth did we drive to Lansing? If you remember from about a year and a half ago I was able to help Bob and Julie move some furniture. Or should I say a lot of furniture. We were able to visit them from time to time and we would share short messages with them. Long story short Bob passed away and we drove down for the viewing. It was a powerful experience being able to talk to his wife and to testify to her that this life isn't the end. There is more after this. The members who referred them to us were able to talk to Julie about eternal families.
On Friday we drove back to Spring Lake to do our final trade offs. The transfer and my final trade offs of my mission. It was amazing we had a ton of fun, but we worked hard. We were able to make 3 videos between the 4 of us. It was an incredible experience getting to work with these Elders. They had an incredible desire to do the work.
On Sunday we were able to have our second in person lesson with Denise and it was amazing. We ended up getting like 4 members who joined and the Sister missionaries. We were worried it was going to be overkill, but Denise loved it and she took 2 pages of notes. I love watching people who are just excited to learn more and to act on the message that we share!
Friday night we got permission to stay out a little later to get a time lapse of Lake michigan for a video that we are going to make for the Facebook page and it was incredible. We stayed until it was dark and we were able to get some amazing profile pictures. And no, that was not done with a green screen. It built my testimony that God is real that he is really aware of our lives because he has given us some beautiful things to enjoy in this world.
