Hello family,
This week was pretty good. I
gave a training to everyone in my zone about using the scriptures to
help them teach better. I based it off of the teaching model in PMG
about introduce, read, apply. It went well and they seemed to enjoy it.
Our investigator passed his baptismal interview this week and is getting baptized this Saturday. He is pretty pumped about it. He has to move though soon so we have been trying to find him a place within the ward.
We had about 5 lessons cancel this week so that wasn't good, but oh well. Next week.
We
went tracting this week and had a couple cool experiences. The first
was with this lady named Shirley. She was an older lady that we talked
to that said she wasn't really interested, but as we said our goodbyes
and started to walk away she started to cry as if someone had put her in
pain. It was super random and then she proceeded to tell us that her
husband had died about a year ago and that her crying just happens
sometimes. We told her about Christ and about eternal families. We gave
her a Book of Mormon and she said, "Thanks, I'm always curious as to
what others believe about that" were hoping that something will come
from it. We gave her something to read and ponder about.
The other experience was with a lady named Paula.
She is a Baptist lady that grew up Christian Scientist. We got talking to
her about religion and about a few of the differences in our beliefs.
One thing lead to another and we ended up teaching her about Joseph smith
and his experience. We recited the first vision to her on the doorstep
and you could see something click inside her. We showed her the Book of
Mormon and invited her to browse through it and read a few things. We
showed her Moroni's promise and committed her to it. Were hoping
something will happen in the future, but as our investigator says,
"sometimes people are afraid of the truth".
That's about it for this week.
Love, Elder Udy
