So for 4th of
July
We saw a town parade, spent time with members all day long,
Went to a BBQ party with members of the ward,
We had to be in at 7 pm for safety reasons so we came back, planned
and then at 10 pm we watched fireworks from our window. It was a blast
and fun time with Sister Shirley
Reactivation story: this is a true miracle.
A man named Adam was outside his house a few months ago. We prayed to
know where we should go “finding” and saw him outside his house. We met
him and found out he is a member. He wasn't sure if he still was one
though. We sent the elders to see if they would connect with him so
they visited and Adam gave them his info so we could find out if he is
still is a member. Adam wasn't sure if he was ready to come back.

A few weeks
later they couldn't find his record but
Adam found his baptism certificate and they tried sending that to Salt
Lake to see if they could still find it and soon enough it was found.
Something triggered in Adam and when he found out he was a member he
now has come to church every Sunday. His first Sunday he started out
in casual clothes, then he came in a white shirt and now he comes in a
full suite to all meetings. All because we felt prompted to go finding
in a particular spot and saw Adam outside and open our mouths to him
and now he is active and wants to go to the temple.
This area is very hard. It's been the hardest of my mission here in
Central Point. It's Mormon town so no one really wants to hear about
the church because they already know. And they are happy where they
are at. They don't see a need for more. This area we have seen is an area of service and reactivation and part member families. That is key
and we have seen so many miracles happen with those groups. It's hard
but well worth seeing people become discipleship of Christ.
Less active work and serving the community can be the best missionary
work most of us can do where we live. It's just as good as talking
to non-members. It’s all the same work and we must work together to
bring all sheep into the fold. I testify these things are true. I have
seen it, done it, and love it all. I bare you my testimony that
this is true. Please go and do all kinds of missionary
work out there. It's the small and simple that brings what's great.
Love you all and hope you have a great week!
