Hey y'all!!
This week was just
an average week in Austin. We posted another service ad on Facebook and
got a few opportunities on that. We were able to help one lady move
rocks and lay mulch. She is extremely high risk so we weren't able to
meet in person at all which is kind of weird but we communicated through
messenger and got the job done.
We've
been having more and more in person dinners recently too which is a
great sign. Its been nice to sit down in person and finally get to meet
some of these members. We've been doing a lot of zoom appointments too
to remind the members that we still exist. We try and keep them short
cuz a lot of families have little kids but they are great appointments.
Also
we are kicking our Facebook page (The Church of Jesus Christ in Sunset
Valley and Southwest Austin) into high gear and have been posting a ton.
We also go live 4 times a week, Elder Davenport and I take every Monday
at 7, and share quick spiritual thoughts. Our efforts haven't shown a
ton of success yet but we know it will soon.
Elder
Uchtdorf recently gave a missionary devotional that changed my thought
process on online proselyting and missionary work. He mentioned that the
COVID-19 pandemic was a "divine reset" on the way we do missionary
work. I thought that was so enlightening. I have been looking at online
proselyting as more of a "band-aid" to the temporary pandemic problem
and less of the future to missionary work moving forward. I definitely
feel more of a responsibility now to experiment and learn how to do this
new age of missionary work.
Anyways that's it for this week! Love and miss you all.
Elder Anderson
