Mornin all!
This past week was so good! One more person committed to baptism next month, a new person at church, a few referrals, and a less-active preparing for the temple!
The new person with a date is Roy, whom I have mentioned before. We had a prime lesson with him at the beginning of the week. We read from the last two chapters of the Introduction of the Book of Mormon and helped him understand how he can get s sure testimony of the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith. I bore my testimony on the order that those two paragraphs give, namely that if we read, ponder and pray about the book with a sincere heart. we will feel that its true. Once we know the book is true, then we will know/come closer to Jesus Christ and then come to know that Joseph Smith is a prophet. He realised that he had already done that and that he had a testimony! We invited him to set a goal on December 10th for baptism and he said yes!!
The new man at church was Keith. I believe I mentioned him last week, about how he was a referral from one of our investigators. Keith had a good time at church. He just wants to do whats right and become a better person. He agrees with all that we have taught him the two times we have seen him. We are gonna try and set a date for baptism with him next week. I think he will accept. He said he will be baptised anyways, its just sometimes people get afraid when they see a date haha
Those who get referrals are the ones that don't really need them. That is a quote in our mission and its true haha We were blessed to get 3 referrals from various sources and we are already teaching loads of people :) The Lord is merciful.
The less-active who is going to start preparing for the temple is Kerry! She met with the Bishop finally and got everything sorted out. She is gonna go do baptisms for the dead soon, of which she is wayy excited about!!! Its just so cool to see someone get excited about the gospel. It brings us so much happiness, just to know about the plan Heavenly Father has for us. I know that the gospel changes lives. I hope that none of us are afraid of change...
Sorry for the shortness of email. Time has escaped me once again. I just want to send a Happy Birthday shout out to my Uncle Mark, Uncle Frankie and Ellie1I hope yall have a great bday week :)
Take care all.
Godbless.
