Hello!!!!! I hope you all are doing well! This week was an
interesting, kind of hard week! Sister Oh and I are working really hard to find
people to teach and everywhere we turn, we face rejection! It is hard when you
know that something is true and you want people to have the happiness you have,
and they reject it! But, I know that miracles are happening!
We did have a pretty funny rejection this week, though. We were contacting
some less active members and we got to one house and there was a guy washing his
car in the driveway. We approached him and asked, "Are you Brother So-and-so?"
To our surprise he answered, "No. He's actually dead. And you people keep coming
by and reminding me that he is dead!" We felt horrible and we weren't sure what
to do. We tried to apologize and were unsuccessful. When we asked his name he
said, "You can just call me DNC." Which stands for "do not contact." We asked
him if we could get his name so that we could put that on our records and he,
again, resisted. That night at our ward coordination meeting, we brought up the
fact that we had found out that a member passed away. The members seemed shocked
that he had passed away and one sister said, "Maybe he just told you he was dead
so that people would stop visiting him, but really you were talking with him."
This brought up a lot of interest so one of the ward missionaries went home and
did some research. Sure enough, we had talked with Brother Soandso and he told
us he was dead. We had to laugh. The lengths that some people go to just so that
they don't have to talk to us.
This week the church released a GREAT video! It is all about Jesus Christ
and the Resurrection! You can find it at helives.mormon.org I would
HIGHLY recommend it! The website also will be posting something everyday from
the last week of Christ's life. I know that my Redeemer lives! I know that
because His death on the cross wasn't the end, we can all live again as well! I
testify of the reality of the Resurrection and of the hope that it brings for
us! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
Love,
Sister Keele
