District Drama

 

 

This is while we were at the Harmons Wednesday night. The people
you'll see are Estelle in the back ground, Tyler arm wrestling, Sister
Harmon, and Cornbread.

Dear Family!

We have had tons of miracles this last week! Even though we were given a car, Elder Mellen and I decided that we shouldn't be using it to get everywhere. We will drive to the church and walk everywhere from there. My testimony has grown tons more because we have been walking around.

Wednesday we decided that we were going to walk up into Cherry Hill. We didn't have too much time because we had an appointment, but we felt like we should walk up towards the City. When we had gotten into a neighborhood trying to check on some potential investigators who have been lingering in our area book. As we were walking to one of them these guys sitting up on a porch hollered to us asking if we were lost. Well besides the fact it was two white guys walking through Cherry Hill I can see where he was coming from. We walked over and talked with them about what we were out doing. Not only was he interested, the other three guys on the porch with him were interested as well.

 We have been working with the Harmon family trying to help the kids. Sister Harmon isn't really that active and is going through some new struggles it sounds like. They love having the missionaries over and it's always a blast when we so get to visit them.
 

We had interviews with President Johnson and Sister Johnson on Friday. The interviews took a lot longer than anyone anticipated because of the drama happening in this zone. There are some missionaries in the district and zone that are struggling with things and it took them some time to get to us. They both are very grateful for my willingness to change companions at short notice that Sister Johnson said if I needed anything I could have it because I was helping them out so much. And the rest of the interview with her was about piano stuff.

The members of this branch during sacrament meeting sing to an electronic piano that has all they hymns downloaded into it so there is no liveliness in the music. During third hour it was combined and I went up and played prelude music and the hymns and everyone rejoiced which I thought was pretty cool to see. I have a feeling I'll be playing a lot more in the near future.

This week has been hard because some of the members in my district are struggling. The Spanish companionship are having a hard time with one another and I spent a good portion of Sunday night counseling with them on how to fix their problem. It was a real growing experience for me because it showed me how much I can truly help those members in the district. 

Much love,

Elder Bentley
