P-Day # 85 - Giving Blessings, Being a Witness and Still Looking for the One....

Zone Conference

This week we were able to visit some potential investigators we found while finishing up records. We have been trying to find new investigators and will continue to try.

We have been able to work with our recent converts this week and have been working on teaching them the new convert lessons. It’s really awesome because they have continued to read and pray about the scriptures and attend church so they still remember what was taught. They are doing very well.

We were able to help the Guelph Sisters this week with their baptism because they needed witnesses. We also brought the clothing, too. The man was so excited to get baptized, he had a hard time waiting for the prayer to be said. He was really happy that all the missionaries were there and we got to sing a musical number in sacrament meeting as well. We will start working with him next transfer in teaching the new member lessons.

We were able to visit a member in the hospital this week. He was not doing too well but he was really happy we were there and he loved his friend relating stories about him and their adventures (his friend related them because he couldn't talk very much). I felt happy that we were able to help him in a small way be happier about his situation.

We were able to give two blessings today. The Power of the Priesthood is real. 

It was good that we were able to help this week in small ways.

P-Day # 84 - Indian Falls, Teaching a Few Investigators & Using Facebook for Good, Not Evil...

This week we finally got our area book for Owen Sound done and we have begun to use it as we go from city to city. We have been able to try and meet with some people from our potential investigators pool.

We had a lesson with a man who has been investigating the church for a while and we think the lesson went well. We answered his questions and he was happy we did.

We were able to teach two of our recent converts this week. One we talked about the gospel of Jesus Christ and how it can keep working in his life. The other we were able to talk to her about the Godhead and how to recognize who its referring too when the scriptures says the word “God”.

We had an appointment with a man who is still on the fence whether he wants to join the church. He started talking about anti-Mormon material and about the things that happen in the temple, it was a rough lesson.

We, also, have been using Facebook effectively and I am finally learning how to use it. I didn't really use Facebook before my mission, so it’s really cool to start sending quotes and messages out. We will be continuing to find new ways to use Facebook and will be looking forward to helping others come to Christ.

We had sports night with members of the ward and we found some combat sticks where you have to balance on a board and knock the other person off of the board. I won against everybody which was fun for me. Everyone did have a good time.

P-Day #83 - Exchanges, an Anonymous Candy Box and Another Moving Party...

This week has been a rough one for us.

We had our last investigator call us this week and he told us that he didn't want to meet with us. He said that he was only meeting with us at the time to please his girlfriend. We let him know that he is always welcome to the chapel and to attend services and he could meet with us again whenever he felt that he wanted too.  It’s rough sometimes when people don't make the best choices, but that is the whole purpose of the Plan of Salvation, to come to earth, make choices & learn by our own experience, good from evil.

I had the opportunity to go on exchanges with our District Leader. We were able teach a lady who had some concerns about the Word of Wisdom. The Elders will be working with her and seeing if they can help her in the future.

I was able to help with a move in their area as well. We were able to get the heavy stuff out of the house before we had to exchange back. I'm still feeling the effects, a little sore.

While on exchanges, we had dinner with a member who was an avid Air Soft fan and he brought out all his guns and showed them to us. I think he was excited to show them to us and we were excited to see them. We had a good time in their home.

We were able to make another large dent in our records and we are coordinating with the Sisters in Guelph, also known as The Royal City, to prepare for their investigators for their baptism coming up.

We finally found out who sent me a box with cinnamon candy inside. My sister Megan, saw a post on Facebook. A lady wanted to send anonymous boxes of candy to Mormon Missionaries. Megan sent her our mission home address. I thought my parents sent it, but just found out today it was this kind, anonymous lady. Thank You so much!

We're working really hard to find the one...

Love You and remember, I pray for you every night & day!
