So this week ended and I became officially old in the mission, completing one and a half years as a misionary. Craaazy. Its been really fun this time of my mission, ive gone through a lot, learned a lot, and more than ever am ready to apply everything I know as a missionary. its been really great. Im so blessed!
This week was pretty good! We worked hard. My companion Elder Vance only has six weeks left in his mission so hes trying to go all out. This Sunday we did all we could to help our investigators get to church. And one of them did wahoo! His name is Gustavo. He is a single guy who had three strokes but is recovering pretty well. We were able to take him in a car with a member, as he has a wheelchair. He loved it and is on line for baptism in February. We have been trying to get him to church for awhile now and almost dropped him. But the difference in getting him to chruch this time, is his commitment. We were very frank and direct with him in a lesson when we thought we were going to drop him,(he always had an excuse for not going, fears, sickness, etc.) But in the lesson, we were able to resolve his concerns and committ him to come to church.
Other than that, everything else continues the same. We had a funny experience talking to an old investigator this week, that really showed the importance of teaching investigators so they understand. We found this one guy that had talked to the missionaries before, whose wife is a member. Either he did not understand anything they were saying or the missionaries taught him wrong. Probably the first haha. We asked him if he remembered about the Book of Mormon and he says oh ya of course. Joseph smith found the remains of the tablets of Moses after he had broken them and then made the Book of Mormon from him. Haha probably one of the strangest answer to that question ive recieved.
Anyways, hope yall have a great week!
