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!
