Hello again! It feels like I just emailed yesterday, but so
much has happened this week, so it feels like it's been two weeks!
We have been working hard every week, but because we knew p-day
was just a few days later. I hardly remember everything we did, but we taught
lots of lessons, knocked lots of doors, and tried to help as many people as we
could with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We have Facebook, and that has been both weird and a
blessing. We are really only ever on messenger. On Friday one investigator
after another cancelled….four total. The 4th one called earlier in the day, and
was super sick. We were bummed because we were going to invite her to be
baptized with that lesson, and we felt she was progressing and ready. We were
watching some more Facebook training videos, and came across one about doing
lessons over messenger. So we did one, and it was amazing. We were able to
discuss with each other all the things we needed to say, and answer a lot of
questions. She even practically taught us the Plan of Salvation, God's plan
for each of us to gain eternal life and happiness and live with Him again. We
also invited her to be baptized, and she accepted for a date later this month!
It was incredible to see the Lord's hand blessing us with technology.
So we walk everywhere. It is really awesome. The weather has
been nice. Yesterday was beautiful, and we stepped into a church building to
call some ward mission leaders, and 20 minutes later we went outside and it was
snowing and freezing cold. So of course, we went and tracted more. It was
awesome. Nothing stuck, but we woke up this morning to a little snow. I love
it. If you look at the light in one picture, you can see it is still snowing.
Excellent.
One more fun thing from the week, we were able to go with a
recent convert to the LDS Genesis Group. They are an African American group
that holds monthly firesides on the first Sunday evening. They have a gospel choir
and a keynote speaker each month. It was really cool because they held their
Christmas program last night, so the keynote speaker was the Unity Gospel Choir
led by Debra Bonner. It was held at a stake center just like 100 meters from
where our area ends, and we had no idea about it. So we had to go! It was
really different, but awesome. Look them up, it is really neat. Yahosh Bonner
was there singing, and he is a very well-known LDS singer, so Elder Fisher and
I enjoyed that.
Things are going great here, love you all!
Love,
Elder Adams
