-We
finished up transfers and I am getting released and going to a new
area. We are about 99% sure that I will be going up to Kaysville to
serve as a zone leader. I will be serving in one of my old areas!! I
served there for 5 weeks right before I came here. It is going to be
awesome. I am so excited to have the opportunity to focus on the work
and on a zone to try to lift and bless and motivate and just help them
see success and be happy. It is going to be a great opportunity. So I
will leave on Tuesday for the new area.
-My companion's birthday was on Wednesday
and we had a very good day. We taught 5 lessons and worked on
transfers and he got some presents from some of the office staff and the
people we teach. It was fun.
-We finally found one of the people we have been
teaching after losing her for a week and a half. Her purse was stolen
(with her phone inside) and so she couldn't contact us and she went to
park city with her family for a while so we could never find her. But
she got a new phone and then we got in contact and have been teaching
her again. She is preparing for the 1st to be baptized.
-We had another couple lessons with Josh who I told
you about last time. He is awesome. He is almost done with the
doctrine and covenants and when we met last time we talked about the
doctrine of Christ. At the end we asked him how he felt, and he said
"well my plan is to finish reading the doctrine and covenants and finish
the lessons that you teach me and then I want to be baptized." It was
sooo cool!!!! We were about to invite him, but he already had the plan
and has been praying about a time in march for baptism! I have never
taught someone as prepared as he is in my life! He will be such a
strong member of the church. Usually most converts are converted by the
way they feel when they meet with missionaries, when they read the Book
of Mormon, or when they come to church. It is interesting with Josh
though. I believe that he was converted solely because of the doctrine.
He knows the doctrine of the Church to be true, which is very good for
someone who just started reading 2 months ago or less. Granted he did
read the whole triple. Anyways, he is praying about the 8th. It was
such an awesome miracle and great experience to get to teach him.
-We have a baptism today at 2:00pm for a girl named Danielle. She is also very prepared. It should be a great day!
-We
hit all of the Standards of Excellence this past week! It was kind of
hard to have that many lessons and be able to do everything else, but it
was definitely a successful week. :)
-Lastly, we met with President to work on transfers
and he invited two future mission president to come watch. It was
interesting! One is going to Dallas Texas and the other to the
Philippines! We just talked about how a transfer works and what we do
to find out where each missionary should go and who should do what. It
was fun to talk to them about it and see how excited they were to go to
their own missions and work with the missionaries there.
Well this was longer than I thought, but I have to go. We are going to go fill up the font. I will try to write again on Monday. Love you all!!! Miss you a ton. Hope all is well there and that everyone is getting better!
Love,
