Hello Family,
Yesterday
we got to witness our investigator receive the Holy ghost in sacrament
meeting. It was sweet to see the gospel in progress. Later that day
we were able to baptize another one of our investigators named Josh. He
is an 18 year old guy that has been wanting to be baptized for over a
year. He finally got his moms approval this week to get baptized. His
mom was a member, but had her named removed a long time ago so it was
hard for her to let her son do this, because she knows the commitment
involved. I know that he was ready though and that he will always stay
faithful. Hopefully he will inspire his mom one day. The dad hopefully
as well.
Other than that we don't have many investigators
left so we are doing our best to find some more investigators and people
to teach. Working with the ward and tracting are what we are doing now.
We
had a lesson with one investigator this week that was crazy. It
happened on their front porch and we basically ended up just answering
all of their questions. We tracted into them so they had a bunch. Turns
out though they actually had a member friend in California and they
called her up and she helped us answer some of the questions over the
speaker phone. It was sweet.
This
week we served dinner at a Lutheran Church. It was pretty fun. It was a
ward activity so a bunch of the ward went. We weren't allowed to
proselyte, but they all saw us when they got food.
We also
did service at the adult center that they have here in town. We prepared
and served food there as well. We do that once a month.
Also
we did service for one of our less actives. She has a really big yard
and isn't able to do all the yard work at her age. We did a lot of
thatching for her. I am glad that there isn't any moss in Utah, because
it isn't fun to get out of grass. I am glad that I was able to help her
out though.
Something funny and also pretty dumb of me
happened this week. We were visiting this older less active lady that is
in the assisted living facility. We came in and she didn't say anything
so we tried to start up a conversation with her, but she was only giving
us one word answers. I had a brilliant idea come to me to ask her
about her family. I should have thought about it more, because what came
out of my mouth was, "So, do your parents live nearby?". Not the best
question ever to ask an older lady, but my companion and I laughed about
it later.
We also went to a BBQ at a non-members house who invited all her
family that are non-members. It was fun to associate ourselves with them.
Anyway, we did a ton of service stuff this week.
