Hello oober awesome family!
This week has been really awesome. It feels like I have been out
of my area a lot, but we have been able to get a lot of good things
done.
We taught Kylie and her mom the plan of salvation this last week.
The dad grabbed his computer and sat in the next room over. He was
"working" on his lap top, but he was listening to everything we were
saying and teaching. It seems like he wants to hear what we have to say
without being directly focused on. We asked Kylie why she wanted to be
baptized. She said because she knows a lot of people at church and
because her mom is a member. This initial desire of hers will help us
help her gain a conversion through the Holy Ghost.
Brother Tom has been busy with work, he is a teacher, thus this is a
busy time for him, so we have not been able to meet with him. Hopefully
this next week.
Mission conference was amazing. The whole mission was there, all in
the same building. It was quite the sight. Elder Parker, of the sixth
quorum of the seventy spoke to us. He is from down south and has a
baptist background. If the way he spoke is how all the baptist churches
are. Then I can see why people like going to them. He had a deep
southern accent and he said many good things.
President and Sister Collins spoke to us as well. They said we are
the best missionaries in the world. They love us and we love them.
Elder Anderson was amazing. I felt like the people of Gideon in
Alma chapter seven. He spoke to us about the Atonement. Not many things
are better than a Special Witness of Jesus Christ teaching about the
Atonement. He told us we are teachers of the unseen. First Corinthians
four eight. We teach not temporal things, but those that cannot be seen
by the mortal eye. The Spirit, charity, hope, etc, etc. It was very
good.
This week has been pretty much awesome! I love you all!
May the Spirit be with you!
Elder Durrant
