Hello Fantastic family!
What a busy week this was! We taught a lot of people, we went
on two exchanges, and we had a zone conference.
Last Monday we went to the fair. It was a lot of fun. We got
a free milk shake. It was nice because it had cooled off so it
wasn't as hot as it had been.
Tuesday was funny because we taught people all morning, than
in the evening all of our appointments canceled. One which we
went to, we were dropped off at. When we went to the door, they
weren't home, but our ride had already left and they didn't have
a phone so we walked the three miles home. We were able to talk
with people on the way home which was good. We turned this
potentially ineffective walk into a productive one.
Wednesday I went to Green Castle with Elder Brezenski, the
missionary I had trained. We had a good exchange. We were able
to teach a nine year old. We taught Obedience by blindfolding
them and telling them where to go so they wouldn't run into the
table or chair and get safely to the other side. It went
awesome.
Thursday we met with someone we call Grandma Alice. It was
our first time sitting down with her, because we had to have
another man there. We had given her the Restoration DVD to
watch. She loved it. In fact she watched it three times. We are
meeting with her this evening. It will be great. We invited her
to church. At first she declined, but as the member we brought
encouraged her to come she decided she would. She ended up not
going though because she wasn't feeling well. She is a really
nice lady.
Friday we had our Zone Conference and we were trained by
Elder Golden. It was a great meeting. President Collins trained
us as well. They both talked about our calling as
representatives of Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Ghost. Our
visions have been raised of what we can accomplish. Elder Golden
said it is inconceivable not to have at least a goal to baptize
one person each month. We put limitations on ourselves. The Lord
can do whatever he wants to do. Our mission has the highest
convert retention in the missions in our area. When the Lord
trusts us with His children and we show that we are responsible
for them, he will bless us with more. Miracles happen.
That evening we taught Vhir and Josie. They are Filipino. We
brought someone who spoke Tagalog so they were able to converse
with each other. It was a really good lesson. We are going to
strive really hard to get them to church.
Saturday we saw a lot of people. We met with Bro Dave and
Talked about the Priesthood with him. He loves it. We only
brushed the surface of the priesthood. He is doing well.
Sunday we met with Brother Robert in the Evening. He has not
gotten an answer that the Book of Mormon is true, but that is
because he is not asking a specific enough question. Once he
does and recognizes his answer he will know through the Spirit.
This has been a great week. I love serving here. May the
Spirit be with you!
Elder Durrant
