This week has been such a great week! The biggest theme and
part of this week has just been the amount of diligence and hard work Elder
Fisher and I have put in. We are striving to utilize the Lord's time to the
best of our ability. We have been doing more tracting, more lessons, and more
praying than ever.
We had the opportunity to go on exchanges with our district leader this week. I went with him, Elder Mushet. He is a great guy who is very experienced, and it was a great opportunity for us to counsel together on how I have been doing, and ways I can improve. We also had a lot of fun, we get along very well. Elder Fisher and I spent the night at their apartment, it was a great chance to talk and enjoy one another's devotion to God.
We had another baptism this week. This one was for C. It was averaged size, with only about 30 people there. But she had a lot of family attend, and the most tender part was the fact that over the last 4 weeks, her husband who has been less active and smokes, gave up smoking, and came back to church, and was able to baptize her. That was neat. The Atonement of Our Savior Jesus Christ can help us overcome anything if we truly desire to change and start a brand new life. C, in her own way, bore her testimony after she was baptized, and it was very sweet. They had us over for a steak dinner a few nights before the baptism as well. It was a great experience.
A neat experience we had this week: One of our dear investigators was going to be home alone on Saturday. We did a lesson at a friends house, and as we were walking out, we felt as if something was off. It turns out that this young boy was not only home alone, but also he was not going to have any food for the rest of the day. We considered buying him a burger from Wendy's, but eventually texted a neighbor to have them help out. Then we went to do some contacting at a little league football game. We showed up late, but the concessions people were like "Elders, here are some hamburgers!" We took them, had 2 each, then thought of the young man with no food, and brought him 2 hamburgers as well. The Lord truly does provide for us, because He loves us!
I love you all so much, I love to hear how everyone is doing! Feel free to email anytime!
Be Great!
