Well
this week has been very good! The rain finally stopped and we were able to get
some work done. It seems like the rain puts everybody in a terrible mood and
nobody wants to talk for some reason when it rains. :( But luckily the
weather was good most of the week.
We
had zone conference on Tuesday and it was a great one! President Salisbury is
such an awesome guy; he is so smart and full of wisdom and the spirit! There were
three zones there and he called on me to give an unexpected spiritual thought
for everyone. Of course I had nothing planned because I wasn't expecting to
have to do that, so it was very unexpected but I did it and just followed the
spirit and it turned out very good actually! (I talked about our Savior and the plan of salvation.) We learned about the spirit of
revelation and we watched the “Patterns of Light” Mormon message from Elder
Bednar. I would highly recommend watching them if you have not already! Exciting News!! I have my first baptism on the 30th!!!! One of my investigators, Elias Crispin, will be getting baptized that morning. Elias is from a part member family, his wife and kids are all members but he never cared to be part of the church. I have been working with him since I have gotten here and have seen his complete change of heart. He told me yesterday that when he reads the Book of Mormon and studies the gospel it feels like his heart is on fire. I thought that was really neat. It has been great to see him change and to see how the gospel has changed him. Please pray for him that he will continue to progress and make his baptism! :)
I
have one more investigator named Marcus Cunningham, we are waiting to get
approval from the quorm of the twelve to be able to baptize him. He has some
past issues that had to be overseen by the apostles. But Marcus is awesome, he
has such strong faith in Jesus Christ and he has really used the atonement to
change his life. He has a really rough
back ground and missionaries have been working with him for two years almost. And
finally he is almost ready to get baptized! Once we get the word back that we
can baptize him, we will do it as soon as possible. So pray that he can get
baptized soon. :)
This
week we did tons of service helping tons of college kids move in to their
apartments. We have found a lot of potential investigators by doing this, we
walk round the college housing apartments and just offer people help to moving
in and they never turn us down. ;) Plus it is an awesome work out! It has been
a fun and good finding tool!
We
also volunteered at a car show on Saturday and helped work it, it was a blast! We met a lot of people and had a good time. I will send some pictures!
Well
I love you all and want to thank everyone for all the encouragement and
prayers, Please pray for us to find people that are elect and prepared to
receive the gospel! Hope everyone has a great week and a safe one! Love you!
Keep-the-Faith!
