Last Tuesday I had exchanges with another elder. He is a great missionary. I learned a lot from him. He is a hard worker and knows his purpose. We had a great day. He is the district leader of another district and their district had a finding activity and so I was there for it. It was a fun time. First, we were getting rejected like crazy, then I said it's redirection not rejection and the very next person we talked to let us in so easy. We didn't even ask to share a message and they said come in and we were able to share. I was also able to interview one of their candidates for baptism. It was so cool. its always so great to see these people and look in their eyes and see the growing testimony.
On Wednesday it was the 4th!!! Happy 4th. We just worked as usual and exchanged back. We were able to teach a great investigator and he accepted a baptismal date. We were pumped and so happy for him. We then went to teach another investigator. The people at his house were being crazy and so we taught him in his jeep and it was a great lesson. We are seeing miracles happen. There are people everywhere who are ready for the Gospel.
On Thursday we were able to teach some great people. We tried to contact some referrals and find some part members. We got some progress but the addresses were a little sketchy. We were able to teach someone who is preparing for baptism on July 21.
On Friday we had a meeting at the mission home almost the whole day. We went there early and there was breakfast. I learned so much from the meeting. I learned things I can improve and ways to help others be better. The best part about the meeting was that our mission president cooked burgers and had chips and watermelon for the 4th. Even though it was on the 6th it was a great 4th of July haha.
On Saturday the day started out amazing. I had an extra powerful language study. I really felt the Spirit as I was reading about Alma and his experience. It just seemed to apply perfectly to me. The scriptures are amazing, especially the Book of Mormon. We were able to visit some less actives and members. There are some inspiring members here. This one particular members house burned down but they are still happy and pushing on.
On Sunday we had a miracle happen. An investigator came to church that we weren't expecting to come. He had a great time and we were so excited that he came. We were able to teach other great people. We had recent converts work with us. It's a great feeling to see recent converts progressing in the gospel. The ward is great and very supportive. We had a great week. I hope you all have a great week.
