Sister Menzers Bullfrog
Mother's day was the best! Thank you for being such an awesome family! I definitely can say that phone call motivated me to work even harder that day ☺ I am so grateful for this gospel and how INCREDIBLE it is that we can be with our families for all eternity!
This week has been pretty awesome! With the weather warming up everyone has been asking us for help in their yards moving stuff and everything! Seriously like everyone... everyone in the branch is pretty old so it's an awesome opportunity for us to serve and build member trust! We teach seminary at 6am every Thursday which I love. We had zone conference last Thursday which was awesome. We learned a lot and our companionship volunteered to do a role play in front the of everyone. It was super nerve racking but it was good! We got a lot of feedback on how we could improve and what we did good. So we have been working and improving on the things we got out of zone conference which always feels great! We helped Sister Menzer clean up her yard and prepare to spread mulch. She is super old and can't do it herself so we did it and she has bullfrog in her pond so of course I had to catch it! Bullfrogs are awesome! We finally came up with a mission plan for our branch! Thanks to Laura! She sent me some ideas! So sweet. I'll send it to ya'll! Here it is: New Paltz Branch Mission Plan #love2serve New calling: service coordinator 2 times per month we find/put together a service project 2 invitations extended to a less active or non-member Small and simple, easy to remember, easy to invite 2, and opportunities to do good. Mosiah 2:17 Oh yeah and we did a district fast and it was miraculous! The Sisters had a baptism on Saturday and it was so cool! Part member families for days! Pretty much everyone bailed that was on the program so Elder Newbold baptized her and I gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. It was awesome! The Sisters taught the restoration and during the first vision the 2nd counselor totally interrupted by stepping in front of them to talk to someone on the front row! My goodness. Then the sisters sat down and he got up to finish Conducting and re-taught the entire restoration! It was pretty funny but nobody interrupted him so it all ended up ok. Then the next day at church Amani got confirmed which is the girl the sisters baptized and a single mom and her 2 kids showed up and we caught up with them after sacrament meeting and she hadn't been to church in 20 years! And she just woke up and said I want to go to church today and I want to get my daughters baptized! Wow what a miracle. President wants sisters to teach girls and Elders to teach guys so we gave them to the sisters and they have an app that set up for this week! So cool! Love you all! Elder Murray
