We had a zone conference on Friday with Elder and Sister Zwick
of the 70. That was pretty amazing. We learned a lot about teaching and
learning by the spirit as well as effective ways to teach. It was a
really spiritual meeting. Sister Zwick talked about their oldest son,
Scotty who is mentally and physically handicapped. She talked about his
loving boldness and how we can all learn from him how to invite others
to come unto Christ. I was really inspired.
On Saturday we taught one
of our investigators about the importance of baptism and she committed
to a date. She said that after meeting with us last week she finally
prayed sincerely to know if this was what was right. She said that she
knows now that it is all true. She feels so strongly that this is what
the Lord wants her to do and she cannot do anything else. She came to
church for the first time yesterday and absolutely loved it. She is
coming to FHE group tonight. We are so excited for her! She has really
caught the power of the Holy Ghost.
We are also teaching a 12 year old
girl named Renee. She will be baptized on this coming Saturday. She told
us this week that her family doesn't want her to get baptized, but she
knows that it is right so she is going to do it. There are some pretty
neat people around here! A lot of our week is spent contacting and
organizing and trying to get our feet on the ground and build the trust
of the members. It is pretty fun/hectic most of the time but the Lord is
really blessing us here. Life is good.
Love,
