Well this week was an alright one.
At the start of the week, we had a big specialized training with our Mission President. It was so much fun, I loved it. We talked a lot about the Atonement out of 2 Nephi 9. He taught it very simply but it was very powerful. We also talked some on the importance of Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy. It was a great conference--it helped me out a lot!
Later that night, we had a meeting with the stake president and our mission president and us zone leaders. It was cool; These meetings always make us kind of nervous, but it turned out fine. We talked about the strengths and the struggles of the stake concerning missionary work. It was a good reminder of just how important members are in missionary work!
I had the privilege of interviewing two people this week for baptism. A grandma and her granddaughter, age 17, got baptized in my last area. Missionaries found this family 40 years ago and they helped them lay sheet rock in their home. They have been really investigating for the past two years off and on. I started the first interview with the grandmother and by the second question, I knew that she was ready by something she had said. I asked her, “Do you believe Joseph Smith was a prophet of God?” Her response was, "Yes I do! That is why I don't drink coffee anymore!" I thought, wow, what great faith! It was a cool experience!
We are still working close with Marcus. He still has some concerns we have not figured out, although, we love him and he has such great faith in everything he has learned. The Lord will work in his timing. Sometimes it is hard to be patient! ;) Please keep him in your prayers!
I will have an awesome surprise for you next week! Something big is going to happen!
I am so grateful for this mission! Sometimes things can be a little rough, but it is the Lord’s work and it is always done His way. I love Him and I am loving this opportunity I have.
Keep the Faith!
