Hello wonderful family of awesomeness!!
This week has been great. We have been working hard and
getting a lot done.
My new companion is Elder Briggs, from Nevada. He lives in
Overton, right outside of Las Vegas. He is a great missionary.
We taught Bro Robert this week. He is getting really excited
to be baptized. He is facing a lot of resistance, but he is
staying strong. He loves to expound on the things we teach him.
We will say a statement of truth and he will take it and devour
it. Oft times while he speaks he will be sharing an experience
and a scripture will come to my mind, which I will share with
them and it will be exactly what he was saying. He is a really
good guy.
We are teaching Sis Donna, who is an older lady. We found her
while tracting. This last time we brought a member with us and
the member offered to bring her to church. She came to church
and loved it. We gave her a large print Book of Mormon, because
she said the normal print is to small. The large print Book of
Mormon is a phone book. It probably takes a whole tree to make
one. I wonder how many trees the Bible would take.
Something awesome happened this past week while we were
tracting. We received a phone call from a neighboring area;
they are teaching a family that I had taught while I was there.
They are getting baptized this Saturday and the little boy,
named Avery, when he was asked who he wanted to baptize him he
said he want me to do it. That was a year and a half ago, but he
remembered me because I had drawn him a picture, so he wants me
to baptize him. I was amazed. That's what happens when you plant
seeds, they grow, even ones that you think aren't seeds.
This has been a great week. Next week is looking to be
awesome. This is the best area in the mission! This is the best
mission in the world! May the Spirit be with you!
