This past week has been great!
On
Tuesday we taught H. and then went over to East Plano to give a
baptism interview to an investigator in the 7th ward. It was a fantastic
interview! I love being able to take part in baptism interviews. I
didn't realize how spiritual and uplifting they are. In the interview I
asked A. (the investigator) what his story was of finding the church.
He spoke of the misisonaries knocking on his door and always ignoring it
until the time when he had broken his leg. It was a hard time for him
because he lost friends and his life started to slide down hill. He
talked about the sister missionaries he met when he opened the door
that day and how they gave him a card with the Elder's phone number on
it. They told him to call them. He remembered when he lived in Mexico as
a kid finding a Book of Mormon but not being able to read it and
wanting to know what was in it. He called them that Sunday when they
were in church and asked for them to come by and left his number and
info. They got in contact with him, he read the Book of Mormon and overcame addictions he had. The motivation to overcome past addictions were
simple and yet powerful. 1. To be happy 2. To be able to give his future
wife and children what he didn't have. The gospel does just that! It
makes us happy and blesses our families. What we do effects everyone
around us especially our families!
We attended A.'s baptism on Saturday! It was wonderful to be able
to see him make covenants with the Lord and be baptized for the
remission of sins.
We met with J. this week. We had
dinner and taught the Plan of Salvation. It was great! He has a weird
work schedule so he will come to church in 3 or 4 weeks when he gets
moved to a new schedule.
We taught T. this week! We taught her about how studying
the scriptures is a commandment along with prayer. We invited her to
have nightly family prayer and scripture study. She didn't make it to
church due to getting her 4 girls ready for school on Monday.
Elder Briggs is
great! He is fun and has a great personality. I feel like we have really
similar personalities. We get along great!
I love y'all and hope y'all have a great week!
Love your missionary,
