Hi Everybody!
So, It's been a busy week here. First, I
haven't seen snow since Utah! While the weather here is on the chilly
side, It's still in the comfortable range most of the time. So awesome!
I'm starting to work better with my companions. It's a little
different mechanic being in a triple companionship in the field
as opposed to the MTC, but overall it's great. We have some investigators
and several more less active members that we teach. I'm not going to
talk about everyone but here are a couple of people.
We teach one lady and her daughters. She is a very sweet woman and
has a deep love of the Lord. Her daughters are usually in the lessons
with us, and all 3 are scheduled to be baptized on the 22nd of December.
We have no doubt that the Mom is going to be baptized that day, but the
daughters have been going through some things, and so we aren't as sure
about them.
The other investigator we teach is a man with a Deep Baptist
background. He has several degrees, including a PhD, in Theology and
similar topics. He keeps and open mind, and we've enjoyed our lessons
thus far. Last Friday when we met with him he had a few more questions
for us. They were some logical questions about the origin of the Book of
Mormon and, unbeknownst to us, he thought that because of these
questions we would decide to stop teaching him. Instead we assured him
that we will continue coming over and read all of Alma 32 with him. It
was an awesome lesson. The next morning we received an 11 page text (1
1/4 pages written in my notebook) on his reflections on the lesson. It
was Fantastic! He had a spiritual breakthrough! He then came to Church
yesterday(Sunday) and he really enjoyed it. He said "Everything was
centered on Christ. I don't understand why people say you aren't
Christian," among other good comments.
On a different topic, we went to our ward's Christmas party. It
was called "Back to Bethlehem" and they took the time to dress the gym
up like old Bethlehem and had dinner, and a performance with several
songs. They also asked everyone to come dressed in period style
clothing (or at least a towel and bathrobe) it was a blast!
That about sums up the highlights of this week. Adios!
