I'm so glad we have
health insurance now! I've been doing ok without it, but I'm glad
everyone can now go get checked out and make sure you're all ok.
I'm
sad Elder M left, we had a lot of fun together and really got
along. He's one of my favorite missionaries. We had a good time
together and managed to accomplish a lot despite being held up by
sickness and the craziness of the Holidays. Yesterday we had a
fantastic day, we picked up a new family of investigators totaling about
9 people! It was quite the miracle that it came to be. We were
outside a recent converts house making an appointment with the people
who live across the hall from him in the apartment complex when we
turned around and a man was coming up the steps. I felt really prompted
to talk to him. It was a powerful impression. I kinda explained what
we as missionaries do then asked him if he knew anyone who needed our
message. He said his family did, so we set up an appointment for
yesterday at 2. We went over and knocked on the door. They answered
and let us in. At first it was kinda awkward with mom and dad, they
seemed like they didn't really want us over there. But we sat down with
the man who turned out to be a boy, he's 18, his name is D. We got
into our lesson with him and the Spirit was gently leading us to talk
with him. He said a lot of cool things about how he before was very
religious and he was looking to get back to that. On the second point,
"The Gospel Blesses Families", mom jumped in and told us how impressed
she was by us and how she would love to have us over to have a lesson
with the WHOLE family. She was talking about lots of stuff that I just
couldn't help but think, "This family would make excellent Mormons!"
because everything she said was in line with what we believe. It was
really cool and we set up a return appointment that Elder L and I
will go to this Saturday. I can see this whole family getting baptized.
Their last name is G. It's funny because our last recent converts
are the B. We are just gonna baptize all of the colors down here
in Calvert hahahahaha.
We
are excited with K and S's baptism this Sunday! They are
fantastic and made it back home from Pennsylvania yesterday so Elder
M got to say goodbye. They are doing great and we just gotta
keep on taking care of them.
Our
new ward mission plan was unveiled this past Sunday by our ward mission
leader, Brother S. It is truly an inspired plan and I can't wait
to help the members get into it. It was really cool when all the
priesthood and auxiliary presidents testified about how much Brother
S has been led by the Spirit for this plan and how much he's done
to get this together. I love Brother S he does a fantastic job.
