Well, this week was pretty fun, we had some awesome,
spirit-filled lessons with our investigators, and are really helping them to
build their faith. Its awesome! We had an awesome lesson with some of our
investigators named Antonio, Dora, and Norma. Dora and Norma are sisters and
Antonio and Dora are... Well, they're not married, we're at least pretty sure
of that. So that will be a barrier to overcome. Anyways, we had an awesome
lesson last Tuesday, the spirit was amazingly strong as we taught the plan of
salvation and testified of the atonement. Antonio has come to church twice
before, but without us even asking, Dora told us they were both coming to
church! Awesome. But, Satan got up early, and Dora got called in to work,
leaving Antonio without a ride. So that was a bummer. We had a great
lesson with our ward mission leader and his in-laws, they have two kids that
have come to church and love it, and should be close to getting baptized!
So, I am still District Leader here in New
Orleans, and we now have a gigantic district, there are 5 companionships plus a
senior couple. So we have all of us working together, and its a whole lot
to manage! But, I'm doing fine, we'll be doing exchanges this week.
Last weekend, we had a member fireside, which I
mentioned at lunch after district meeting, where we had a wonderful opportunity
to work with the members. We had a fun little get-to-know the missionaries
game, then had a spiritual message and watched a short video, then we split up
into groups and did role-plays with the members about how to invite a fried to
an FHE, how to give a video, a BOM, or an invite to church. I think the members
really liked it and thought it was very helpful to have an opportunity to
practice sharing the gospel with a friend. We didn't have a huge turnout, but I
would definitely call it a success.
Besides, that, it was pretty normal week, this
week should be pretty busy with everything we've got going on!
Love,
