Hello Hello! So it'll be another 6 weeks in Del City coming up! I'll still be
with Elder C it looks like, so that will be exciting as well!
This week was a really good one! It FLEW by though- it was crazy! Tuesday we
were visiting one of our investigators, D. He's a nice guy! He's a seeker of
truth. He gets sick of a lot of the religions out here because they teach a lot
about Revelations and the end of the world, and he wants to know how he can live
more like Christ. He also said he sees stickers all over the place that say, "Invite someone to church this month" but we're the only one of any of the
hundreds of churches around that have actually done it. So he's excited and
progressing slowly but surely. We set a baptismal date for May 24th with him. It's a great goal to work
towards.
Wednesday was a bit of a longer day. Not much happened. I got to do a
baptismal interview for a 14 year old girl though! The other elders in our ward
are teaching their family. The dad is a member, but his wife and 2 daughters
weren't, but they've been going to church with him for a long time. Anyways the
youngest daughter decided it was time for her to get baptized, so we're hoping
her mom and sister will want to follow her example! It was fun though. She has a
great understanding for a 14 year old!
Thursday night was awesome! We taught 2 families. One is a family of at
least 6 (there might be a couple more kids we've missed the 2 times we've been
over there) and the other is a family of 5. The family of 6 has a ton of
potential! We can see them becoming members of the church eventually, and we're
hoping that we're the ones who get to help them with that! The other family is
nice, but they aren't really too excited about religion in general so we'll
see.
Friday was fun. I was on exchanges with Elder V. He's a great guy!
We had a good time! We were able to teach K. She's doing great! She hadn't
been to church in a couple weeks and right when we sit down she said, "I feel
awful I haven't been to church!" We had a great lesson with her and she's still
on board to be baptized on the 10th! She still needs to get married though, but
we hope that will happen.
Saturday and Sunday were awesome! We saw C and K. They were
the ones we were teaching and they split up after a fight. Well they're back
together. On Saturday they were in another little argument, but we taught the
Doctrine of Christ and that settled them down. We went back on Sunday and they
took the Doctrine of Christ to heart! They didn't even look like the same
couple! We set a baptismal date with them for June 28th, and at the end C prayed about that date to know if it was the right one. She broke down in tears
and we all felt like it was the right date! It was a super powerful
moment!
Well, I gotta get going, but I just want everyone to know that I know this
is the Lord's work, and I'm thankful for the chance I have to be a part of it!
Have a great week and we'll try to do the same!
PS We haven't had any tornados around me yet, so nothing to worry about!
Haha
