Hello Everyone :)
Well...Work wasnt as productive as thought it
was going to be this past week but we still progressed in the Kingdom of
our heavenly father on earth :) Haha This e mail is just as lame as
last week but thats okay :) Herewiikooo!!!
Monday June 11th-Today was a pretty bomb P-Day. Played Flour
ball with the Joplin zone. I got to see my boy Elder Justin Park though!
He came out on the mission with me. He was my district leader in the
MTC. Love you bro! But yeah. Super long long day but great P-Day
Tuesday June 12th-We met with a few of our investigators
today. Isabella prayed again today :) But her prayer consisted of 1
thing, thanking heavenly father for her new puppy. haha she such a
cutie. But hey, baby steps! Her baptismal date is still set for August
4th. Her father is a less-active member so we are really trying to get
him to baptize her. He will :) Then we met with the Harringtons. Brother
Harrington has decided to stop smoking!!! :) But they changed their
baptismal dates to a currently unknown date. A bit sad but i realized
that its totally fine because they will be ready, when they are ready :)
After that we met with Paul and Beth Austin. We finally progressing
with them and plan on setting a baptismal date with them this week. We
then had dinner with the Mayne family and watched their sons baseball
game later that night.
Wednesday June 13th- I went exchanges today with Elder Nixon,
our district leader, in Willard. I also met with our mission President,
President Merkley. He is a great man, im going to miss him. He finishes
his mission as a president June 30th. Anyways, it was a slow day in
Willard but we did meet with Missy again, the lady who had cancer, and
she has set a baptismal date of July 21st. :) Settin dates like its
nothing son!!! Haha
Thursday June 14th- A very disappointing day :( Our 2
appointments we had set up for today fell through. Like, literal
depression set in i was so sad. Only cause 1 of them was progressing so
fast but he bailed because of reasons disclosed :( Its true when they
tell you that you honestly develop such great love and care for your
investigators. They'll be alright.
Friday June 15th- We did some service for my good ol pal Matt Alms. Helped him and his mom up at his moms property.
Saturday June 16th-
We met with the Harringtons again today and they still hadnt decided on
a date. We promised them that they can be baptized on the original date
(July 21st) if they prayed and really worked towards it but again,
they're ready when they're ready :)
Sunday June 17th- 4 of our investigators attended church.
Caleb, Isabella, Paul and Beth. Again, we hung out and spent sunday with
the Alms family. Very good sabbath. Happy Fathers Day.
Thats my
week in a nut shell. Facing some adversity from the adversary so please,
keep my companion and I as well as our investigators in your prayers.
