So this week has been great. One thing that iwas just excited about last week was that our results were great! Numbers we have today are different from the missionary work 6 years previous. We dont call it GQ's anymore. We dont count how many BofM we give out. Our key indicators are pretty different. I was just so happy to finally see our investigators! They are busy with school or work. This time of the year is their big testing time. So it was good to se them. And we were able to get a lot of members to teach with us. Also great help. We have this kid named Eddie, 20. He is cool and has a desire to hear and learn about the gospel. What he needs to do is find time to put gospel in his life. Right now, he's finishing up with hjis last year of school. So he's really busy into school. His english is good, so i think he should be fine getting into a university. He's just waiting for the interviews. He's also in a band as a guitarist and they practice on sundays. So the big thing we need him to do is come to church. He's doing everything else; praying and reading. He just needs to come to church! Great kid though. He turned down our baptismal challenge yesterday. He said he waswnt ready yet and doesnt have neough faith. But it should be fine, he'll feel ready by the next time we see him, or i know he'll be ready if he comes to church at least once, because i know that church will change his thinking.
We had a mission conference yesterday as well. The sad part is that the asia area presidency asked that we dont hold massive conferences so we had to split our conference into two days. Preisndet and sister vandam are sad about that, but they are willing to obey. Our asia area president used to be Preisdent Hallstrom, now he is in the presidency of the 70. pretty cool. There was goodo stuff learned at the mission conference yeterday. We had different workshops and we heard testimonies of the dying missionaries (missionaries that are returning home). It was very spiritual.
So this week has been cool. Nothing super special. I was happy to see our investigators and visit a lot of members. My message otday is just to keep up faith. We shared this topic to amember family the other day and assured them that through our faith, anything can be done. (Ehter 12) talks about many people who have performed amazing miracles because of their faith. Think of ways that you can continue to build faith each day. Some suggestions that ithought of were: pray, read scriptures, bear testimony, carry around a picture of JC so you can always remember him, etc. be creative! Keep strong in your faith and the Lord will lift you through your trials. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Until next week!
