This past week has been great!
We
taught S. twice this week. We also scheduled a baptismal date for
the 8th of August! I'm very excited for him! There is so much in store
for him! We have taught him the first three lessons and he is
progressing very rapidly toward his baptism. He has great support from
his father which is helping him to feel comfortable at church and
helping with a smooth transition. We have also had great help from our
ward missionaries in teaching. Our teaching is simply to make sure he is
completely ready even though he already knows everything. Just proves
once again that this is the Lord's work. We didn't do anything to make
this happen, the Lord did.
The Plano 9th ward is doing
great! The ward council and ward mission truly are starting to become
one with us in our purpose of helping others to receive the restored
gospel. In ward council we had a great discussion about our recent
convert K. and how the ward can help her. I feel as though the ward
will be excellent at helping her with staying in the church. It's really neat
to be able to see how the church operates. It truly is amazing!
We had a BBQ with the ward
where we had 2 of our investigators in attendance. It was great to have
them there. The ward reached out to them and helped them feel welcome.
Things in our area are great.
Tonight
we are going to be helping the 4th ward in their area. They found a
miracle baptismal date couple! We are excited for them. They are hard
working missionaries they just have been having a hard time finding
people to teach. So hopefully we will be able to help them out!
This is the Lord's work! This
is His church upon the earth. All that was lost is restored. And
because of that it makes a tremendous difference in this life. We can
make it through the hard times because of what the Savior has done for
us. We are never alone.
I love y'all!
Love your missionary,
Elder Drew Bowen
