Hey Kinfolk!
I cant believe its already playoff time for Ryan! Man that is exciting! It sounds like Kate is tearing it up in volleyball too!
This week went just great. We had our mission leadership council
meeting last thursday which is always a whale of a time. Those meetings
are some of the most spiritual on the mission. Our mission has a goal of
100 baptisms and reactivations in this month
of November and everyone is really excited about it. This last weekend
we got 21 baptisms so we are right on track!
Last Tuesday Elder Daley and I went on exchanges with a trainer and
a new missionary. I took the new missionary, Elder Heidinger, with me
to Little Rock. He is from Canada! Anwyays he just came out 2 weeks ago
and hadn't had the opportunity to invite someone
to be baptized yet so that I wanted really bad to give him that chance
on our exchange. I told him that before he switched back he has to
invite someone to be baptized and he seemed pretty nervous about it. I
didn't know who he was going to invite but before
and after every appointment we would pray and ask for someone to be put
in our path that we could invite. That night we went to go see a newly
contacted investigator named Robert with a member. We taught him the
Plan of Salvation and towards the end of the
lesson Elder Heidinger was able to invite him and he accepted! It was
awesome. One thing I will never be able to deny is the Lords love for us
and his desire to bless us. If you work for a miracles like it all
depends on you and then pray for a miracle like
at all depends on the Lord, they will come!
Elder Daley is doing really good! He is awesome to serve with and has taught me a lot.
Everything is going good over here. There has been some
disappointments but the temporary stumbling blocks of life are easily
turned into stepping stones in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. "The trials
that seem for a moment to overcome us with suffering, will
be the very experiences in the end that suffer us to overcome." I know
that to be true!
Mom I love you and am grateful for your example of Faith! When it
comes to having faith you are the most athletic person I know! Thanks
for all that you do for your children.
