This week was pretty slow as far as finding new investigators and
teaching a lot but you always find what your looking for. So as I was
looking back for good things this week I was able to find a lot of
things that really went well. This week we taught this part member
family a few times. The husband is a member and his wife, Lizzet, is
not. After a pretty cool lesson about the restoration with them she
told us her wish is that her kids can grow up strong in the church and
have strong testimonies that it is true. She has read and watched a
lot of anti-mormon stuff and wants proof that there were gold plates
and lots of other stuff but we helped her understand that if she can
gain a testimony and a witness that the Book of Mormon is true none of
those little doubts will matter. The family is really cool and we
can't wait to get them to church.
We also stopped by the Garza family this week. It's the family
that was a referral from a traveling seventy and has the super funny
autistic kid named Mason. We passed them to English forever ago but
they didn't get along with them very well so they were happy to see
us. It amazes me how important those little spiritual experiences are
for everyone. Some not so good news this week. Olis pretty much
dropped us this week. We assume she tried talking to her husband about
baptism and it didn't go so well. She told us she would let us know
when things cool down :( but I think we will be able to teach her
again soon.
This week at volleyball a members step daughters boyfriend came
and it is so awesome to see how prepared people are when they have
members that bring them to activities or have already fellowshipped
them. His name is Jesus and we gave him a church tour and had a really
spiritual lesson in the chapel. He told us he had some questions that
no other church has been able to answer for him. The first one was
"why are there so many churches?" Which is one of the best questions
he could have asked haha :) so that was basically how the whole lesson
went and even though he doesn't live in our district we set him with a
goal to be baptized. The chapel is so amazing to have lessons in, it's
amazing how rooms that are set apart really do make a difference.
Yesterday I got to confirm Angela is sacrament meeting. To be
honest I was a little nervous because the chapel was packed and well,
it's a really special thing. But I loved it and it was a super good
growing experience. Angela has changed so much and now she has the
gift of the Holy Ghost so I can't wait to see her understanding of the
gospel grow even more. This week she has been trying to share the
gospel with everyone around her it is super cool to see how much the
gospel means to her that she wants to share it with others. Have a
great week!
Love,
Elder Hyde
