This week was pretty solid! The first half of the week I was on exchanges with Elder Mcguire from Arizona.. He is the Newfie "captain on the rock" That was pretty fun. We had a few different experiences with finding solid potentials including one that was just a guy who was parked in his car on the side of the road. Funny thing I just remembered, we were putting gas in the car and when we went to pay the lady said, "ok $50 for the Mormon Mobile." She turned out to be someone who had met missionaries out west and is still in contact with them. We hope to be meeting her soon I think she wants to be Mormon.
We got our transfer letters as well. Elder Wilson will be leaving and Elder Sortomme, who was in the same district as me when I first came out, will be my new comp. Also Elder Hardesty (California) is leaving Moncton and Coming to Newfoundland #woopwoop. He is solid.
We have two conferences in the next month.. Which is not a usual happening, but we have a seventy member coming to meet us. Pretty stoked, we only have to drive 8 hours.
Some cool stuff that happened this week, we found a few people who wanted to learn and two of them are on date to be baptized. It was originally three but the third we did a stop by to follow up and he told us he wants to keep drinking and smoking and didn't want to change so he is no longer there.
One of them we were street contacting our way to a former investigators house and he was a first contact so we walked with him and taught him sat down committed him to be baptized and set up a day to come back! Its amazing how god prepares people and if you are willing to listen puts you in the right place at the right time.
This Morning I studied in Alma 26, as well as ether 12. I'll share a little bit of it with you all... In Alma 26, Ammon is pretty stoked about the success and joy that they have in helping the Lamanites come to Christ. They had helped in the conversion of the Anti-Nephi-Lehi's.. In vrs 23-24 he talks about the Nephites and their attitude towards him and his brothren going to preach to them, but regardless of what they thought they knew they went knowing God prepared souls to receive them. verse 22 is a good one.. check it out.
Love you all, hope its a splendid week chez vous!
