| Elder Perry and Elder Stringham Owen Sound Ward, Barrie Stake |
This week has been one
of getting to know the members of the ward. We have met with several families.
We were able to meet
with one of our investigators here this week. Elder Stringham taught really
well in the lesson and the Spirit was there. We thought it went
great We taught him the Restoration and committed him to baptism. He
said yes, and we will be setting him with a baptismal date this week. We are
pretty excited about that.
We also got locked out
of our apartment because the key broke in the lock due to how cold it was with
the wind chill. We waited for a couple of hours for word of getting a spare key
from the landlord, but we found out that the earliest she could open our
apartment for us was the next day. So, we stayed in the chapel for the night.
We were able to get a spare key from the landlord and were able to get some
spares made so that it wouldn't happen again. It was a good experience and we
could only think to ourselves and count our blessings, only in the mission field would we be blessed to
have a warm, dry place to go and no safer place than the chapel, the Lords building.

I was also able to have
my first district meeting of the transfer. We talked about Elder Pearson's
teachings on having a vision, expanding the knowledge, understanding the message,
gaining the skills and having the urgency to share the message with
others. I think it went very well, and we were able to get some input on
what the district feels like they need to learn about. We will be able to teach
them the things they are interested in within the coming weeks.
In Fast and Testimony Meeting, we also heard from a member in the middle of her testimony that she
has a referral for us. That was cool!
We’re thankful for the
members here in the Owen Sound Ward. They keep us fed and are very good to us.
It’s nice to know we can count on the members, if needed.
We had a busy morning.
We went shopping, organized the cupboards, went to an army surplus store and
found a knife for dirt cheap, went to Wendy’s and had some food and now we are
emailing.
Great Week!
Remember, I Pray for you
Every Night & Day!
