| half mission conference |
Had an awesome week in Deep Side again this week! I have a lot of thoughts, but unfortunately no time. Here's some recaps.
Tuesday & Wednesday we had half-mission conferences! We unveiled our new push in the mission--"The Hunt for 100." We related to the story of Nephi breaking his bow, and take about Faith, Heed, and Diligence and why we need to apply those principles in order to achieve our mission goals. People responded positively-- and people have really adopted the "hunting" theme with Camo, hunting analogies, and applying Jeremiah 16:16 to the fullest.
With our investigators, Shavonne is getting baptized this week! She was sick but still came to church, and was participating a lot in the classes and is really excited for her baptism this wednesday. Her Husband is coming back to church and he is going to be the one to baptize her--she was really excited about that.
We found a lot of new friends this week. After the conference, we found Marie. She's from the bahamas and she had been praying right before we knocked on her door. She came to church with her baby girl and loved it! Next week she's bringing her 14 & 15 year old kids, who were with their dad this week.
We had a boss FHE at Elder and Sister Packs house on Saturday, and taught Leo about the Book of Mormon. He's still too down to get baptized, but he's still waiting for his answer from God. He's really busy and we can't see him too often, but he's at church every week and he knows this is what is going to bless his family. His answers in Sunday School and Elder's Quorum are honestly money--the Gospel just comes super easy for him. He for sure will be a future leader in the church!
Funny story of the week. We've been working in this tall apartment complex with doors for days. We finished one of the buildings late Saturday night, and had 10 mins or so before 9. Instead of heading home, we decided to try and knock a few doors in the next building over. As we got in the elevator, a family got in as well and we explained the restoration to them in 15 seconds and invited them to church. We got a return appointment from it! so for the next 10 mins we rode the elevator up and down and talked to everyone who got in. It worked really well hahaha, the people can't ignore you. One of the times we hit the call button to send the elevator back to us, the door opened and there was a huge guy with dreads and a snarling pitbull. We decided to take the stairs.
Hope everyone has a great week!
