This week was really good. The M*s are doing
well, same old with them. They are progressing nicely and are keeping
commitments and learning. They were really sad to hear that I was leaving and
I'm sad to be leaving them as well. Luckily we have a lesson with them tonight
so I'll get to see them before I head out tomorrow morning. It's been quite the
journey with them but I'm sure the future missionaries will take good care of
them.
We received a reassignment from the Naperville 2nd missionaries. His
name is Adam and he was referred by a member who is also his boss at work. We
found out that a member from this Ward knows him and his daughters. The member’s
kids and their kids are good friends and were super excited to hear that we
would be teaching them. We have a lesson with him tonight and we're praying
really hard that this lesson goes well because he seems really awesome. Also,
we found out he loves magic and tried out for Americas Got Talent over the
weekend. Not sure how he did but we should find out tonight.
As we were street contacting one day we talked to a lady who we found
out was a former whose record had been deleted. We had a lesson with her on
Sunday morning before church. When we showed up initially she wasn't home so we
did a few stop by's and tracked a little and then tried again. Literally right
as we touched the handle to the complex she opened the door and walked out. We
sat down right there and taught her a lesson about the Book of Mormon and of
the importance of baptism. She wants her children baptized and even though she
has already been baptized we explained the Priesthood and she said she would be
baptized again. Good stuff!
I'm super excited for this new transfer. Both Thanksgiving and
Christmas are coming up and that means a new initiative. It's called #LIGHTtheWORLD.
During Zone Conference Elder Royce and I went up on the stage and read a long
PowerPoint about it, so you could say I'm sort of an expert now. Just kidding.
If you haven't heard of it look up #LIGHTtheWORLD or "In 25 Ways. Over 25
Days." hopefully there is something on that somewhere. I'll give more
details as it gets closer. I'm excited for it though. It gives us wonderful
opportunities to share the light of Christ throughout the Christmas season.
That
should be about it for this week. I love you all and hope you have a wonderful
week ahead of you. Rely on the Lord and he will direct your paths for good.
