This last week was packed full of awesomeness!! I can't even remember
in what order everything happened. The temple was awesome last
Tuesday! Then later that night we had a lesson with the Muslim man,
Adil. We put him on date for April 19th. It was super cool! Then
Thursday was interviews with President Chambers. That was good. Then
on Friday we had the mission fireside which was awesome! One of
President Chambers cousins and close friends came to speak to us and
tell us about his experience climbing Mount Everest. He related it to
goals and how sometimes we have to take it step by step and things
like that. So that was cool and then we had like an hour to visit with
everyone. So I got to talk to all my old companions and other
missionaries I've served with. That was really nice. No Ipads yet, but
they are coming. Supposedly in June. That's the rumor at least. I just
want to be able to use LDStools. That would make things so much
easier! Anyways, then we had a lesson on Saturday with a man that we
had already reactivated but Bishop asked us to keep working with him
so we have, but this time he had his daughter there with him and she
isn't a member and so we taught her and put her on date. She wasn't at
church though because she was sick so she's not on date anymore but we
have a lesson with her again on Wednesday. We also have an
investigator that we found in the Samoan ward and he is on date for
April 13th right now. He is cool and really understands how much the
gospel will help him. He also has a really strong support system in
the ward. Alfred I. is still on date for this Saturday. We are
going to have the baptism earlier in the morning so that it doesn't
interfere with conference. He won't be able to be confirmed until the
next Sunday though since it has to be in Church. Adil since that
lesson where we put him on date however, has said that he no longer
wants to meet with us. He knows its true, he's just afraid of change.
But there is still a lot of work in this area and I'm really excited!
This week is going to be awesome as well! We had 10 lessons this last
week, that's the most I've had in one week so far. We are going to
beat it this week :) I can't wait for conference!! I don't get to go
again, but I don't mind. I know I will at some point. We were going to
try to take Adil, but then he said he didn't want to go and so now we
aren't going. I hope you all take advantage of this opportunity to
listen to the word of the Lord. This chance doesn't come very often
and it is for us now in this day. Take heed to what they say and apply
it in your life. It will bless you immensely. Have a wonderful week
everyone! Love you all.
