This week we met up with a girl named Bridgette. She is a Recent Convert from the Geneseo ward. Her records I technically still over there. But she is attending Alfred State. Very nice girl. Very sharp. She gave us a tour of Alfred State so we would be more familiar with the area. Plus it was a good excuse to see how she was doing and get her more welcomed to the Wellsville Branch. (She had a bad experience last semester with Wellsville). AND She has a car!! It's a miracle. So she can help give rides of the other college students.
We are going to have another tour of Alfred University by another college student. That got postponed because the weather has kind of sucked. Super snowy and icy all over. But hopefully we can reschedule that to sometime soon!
We visited another couple that is Less Active. They are Recent Converts of about 2 or 3 years. So they are still pretty new in the gospel. They are having some Word of Wisdom struggles with... well a little of all of it. Also, the husband has this issue with passing out randomly. It's like an extreme sleep disorder or something? So he is nervous going to church because he doesn't want to pass out on someone. But he is still out and about in everything else.... So hopefully we can get them more comfortable and realize that there is no moral standard for attending church. All is welcome. We'll help them through whatever.
Brittney and Dylan are still doing amazing. Brittney is Elder Glenn's Recent Convert right before I got there. They are still working through their struggles and are just awesome. They texted us the other day saying the two of them were having their own little scripture study. They asked us a question about the chapter they were on. Then I told them another good one on the same topic was Mosiah 4. They texted back like 20 minutes later saying they liked it. Super awesome.
Lisa... is still more or less MIA. She is around Brittney and Dylan but not wanting much to do with us.
Here we are on P-day with the Hornell elders. There is 4 of us. They informed me that if you combined the time that the 3 of them have been on their missions, it's still less than how long I've been on my mission. My whole district is younger than 6 months out. It's crazy. Roberts, Daugs, Houghton (our DL) all came out together a little less than 6 months. Bellon came out a transfer after them. And Houghton is training a new guy.
So the Less Active family that used to feed us once a week but she got offended because we didn't show up to a dinner appointment that she forgot to invite us to? We ran into them outside Dollar General. It was super awkward. Then she texted us and invited us over for dinner on Saturday. Still super awkward. But they seemed to drop the whole "Mad at us" thing. So that's cool. Our branch president told us that we have to make that as occasional as possible and not have a weekly appointment because of their history of manipulating the missionaries (and the missionaries hanging out there).
That is pretty much the week. A lot more finding to do.
