Sup Y'all!
This week was probably one of the longest weeks of my mission. So much got done! It was an incredible week! It seemed like we were always busy and yet still always had enough time to do extra acts of service and finding. This may be out of character for me but I gots some super spiritual experiences this week I'd like to share.
Wednsday: We had a world wide missionary broadcast. It was an incredible experience to hear from the leaders of the church how we can better "Teach Repentance, and Baptize Converts". Elder Anderson was a great introduction and Elder Bednar came in with a spiritual power house punch to the face! After that wonderful time we went on trade offs with Perdido. I stayed here with Elder Grimmaud. We had probably one of the best lessons of my mission. We met up with this investigator, Brenda
, who we haven't seen for weeks because she had ulcers in her stomach. We got there and talked for a bit and then shared the Restoration. It was incredible to see her wheels turning and the Spirit pretty much kick in the front door and fill the whole house. She asked us during the lesson where Christ's church was now and then a couple minutes later she stopped us and said "It's the Mormons." Freak yeah it is! hahaha we asked her how she was feeling and she described the Holy Ghost to a "T". Warm, good feelings. Kind of like butterflies. She said she couldn't fully explain it but she knew it was a good feeling. So one thing led to another and now she is scheduled to be baptized on February 27th!
Friday: We brought out Brother Kanupke to see a couple of investigators with us and this family, the Carson's, we had a great lesson with. Went over the Plan of Salvation and another Spirit kicking in the door moment. The daughter, 15, just lit up when we were talking about after this life and eternal families! It was an incredible experience and bro. Kanupke wants to keep coming out with us as much as he can now! The Lord is a great and wonderful! Oh btw they have a family bcd for the 27th of February as well!
Saturday: We got Elder Grimmaud for a bit because of meetings for his companion so we went and saw a few individuals and set a BCD with Mike Myers for the 13th of February. Super cool guy. I wish he was the actor but he isn't. Then we met with this guy Brad Barefield. We had an incredible lesson with him. Yet again the spirit just kicked in the door and filled the room. Brad has been out of church since he was 16. He is now in his 40's. He has a lot of questions and we have a lot of answers and he can see himself joining our church! By the end of the lesson the Spirit was so strong that he ended up in tears. Wonderful experience!
Well I am sure that you have read enough so I will close just by saying as I said to a less active yesterday. "REPENT!" Repentance is the key that unlocks the door of happiness, peace, joy and eternal life. If you are not repenting you are not trying.
