This week was a really good week here in the Poquoson area. Tuesday we
had the opportunity to go and watch the Meet the Mormons movie at the
stake center. It is a really good movie and is very inspirational. I
give it 10 stars, if y'all have the opportunity to see it i suggest you
do. I then got to go on exchanges with Elder Brown in Yorktown. That
evening was a good one. We went to a bible study at a less actives
house. It was interesting to hear the different versions of the bible.
Even though they would not allow us to teach anything, I was glad to see
so many people trying to draw nearer to Heavenly Father. The next day
we went and read out of the Book of Mormon with those less actives and
they really seemed to enjoy that. We also did the same thing with
another one of their investigators there. He was a funny guy and kept
asking me where my cowboy hat and boots were, since I'm from Wyoming. We
went and taught a guy over in a town called Sea ford about the plan of
salvation. It was cool because my companion and I actually got a ride
from him a few weeks back. We actually told the Yorktown elders about
him. He was an interesting fellow but really seemed to love to learn.
Thursday we finalized the baptism for another one of our investigators
here. I'm really excited to see her make this step in her life. I can see
how her faith and testimony has grown over the past few weeks. Friday
we had a super long Zone meeting which basically took all day. The focus
was on prayer. After that I recommitted myself to having more sincere
prayers. I want to challenge you all to read the first presidency
message in this months ensign and then recommit yourselves as well.
Saturday we got to teach a lesson really early. I could see that this
investigators faith was growing during the lesson. He was really excited
about the fact his family could be eternal. He is reading the Book of
Mormon and said he would be an idiot if he didn't get baptized. I really
pray that he finds the message is true. Conference as a missionary is
got to be the best thing ever!! I really love the talk about " Which way
do we face?" It really made me think about that question and my desire
to be a better example and follower of Christ has grown. I hope y'all
received your own personal revelation from listening to our prophets of
God. I know that they are called of God, and that they hold the keys to
lead our church. I know that as we pray, study, and "hold on with both
hands", it will be easier to " stay in the boat" I want to hear all of
your thoughts about conference. What was your favorite talk? Do you have
a desire to share it with a friend? I hope y'all are doing well and I
pray you are. Love you all and thank you for the support. See y'all next
week.
