P-Day # 81 - The Walkerton Branch, Teaching the One and Expanding our Boundaries....

Elder Gutierrez(Spanish Fork, UT) and Elder Perry(Vernonia, OR)
At Inglis Falls,Georgian Bluffs, ON

This week Elder Gutierrez and I were able to visit the Walkerton Branch for the first time. We are now covering the Walker Branch and this increased our boundaries so much, we are now covering 1/8th of the entire mission. Now all we need is more car kilometers to cover it.  The Branch is a phase one of three phases.  Including us, we had 20 attendee’s this week. The branch was small but the members were mighty in testimony. 

It was awesome to see them fellowship our investigator who came to church for the first time. He really enjoyed the services. We were able to meet the Branch President.  He was very happy to see us Elders. He has only been the Branch President for a couple of months so, we will be learning about the branch together, and we are his new recruits.

We were able to have a lesson with one of the investigators from the Branch. We will be teaching him all the new member lessons. The lessons went great and I think we helped him feel the Spirit. He has quit his smoking and is staying off of it. We have been teaching him for a while and he was dating a member then broke up with the member.  But, he still felt that this church is right and that he wanted to keep meeting with us. I speak to him in “computer language” and he understands things pretty well. He is doing great and is on track for being baptized. Please continue to pray for him.

We were able to teach another investigator using Skype. He has been doing well and he is on the path to be baptized. So, we will keep teaching and praying for him.

We have also been inputting our records into the area book app which has taken a lot of time. It’s slowly but surely getting there.

I have a quote for all those missionaries out there… 

"Some blessings come soon, some come late and some don't come until we reach heaven but, for those who embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they come!" - Jeffery R Holland

It’s been a good week.

Love you Mom & Dad and Remember,

I Pray for you Every Night & Day!
