Hey Fam,
Alll I gotta say is this area is super chill. We've gotta sams club, walmart, and a kfc in the area so you already know we livin lavish here, so many choices. Its honesty super sick. We had interviews this week and in the interview President told me that this areas numbers have taken a steep drop. im talking 0 baptismal dates, 2 investigators progressing, and a thick area book filled with old investigators. 2 days this week we used the area book to find people and what do ya know, almost every direction doesn't exists, so the missionary work here has practically died in the past 3 changes. The last baptism here was in november. so we've got our work cut out for us but I love a good challenge!.
The members are super awesome and want to be involved with the missionary work. One sister offered to have a family home evening at her house every friday with less actives or non members! sooo sick, this is such a blessing for missionaries.
This sunday was a sunday ill never forget!! It was fast and testimony meeting and a downs syndrome sister named Flower got up to share her testimony.the first thing she did was thank Elder Herrera and I for serving missions, Then she told us she was really sad she couldn't be a missionary, but she said just because she can't serve a mission doesn't mean she cant be a missionary. That hit me deep and I felt bad all the times i didn't share the gospel with non members, or my testimony with less actives because I was scared. We should be grateful Mormons and share the gospel not fearing what man can do (doctrine and covenants 30:11). Just because you don't have a name tag doesn't mean you're not a missionary. Missionary work has no expiration date. I know my Savior lives. The tomb was empty, he is risen. I'm grateful to share that message with all who will listen.
love you all
-elder broadhead
