Alma 5

This week has been great! We've been continuing to work on the fireside were putting on about Revelation and knocking doors talking about baptism with everyone. It's been a really great and fun experience.

And there are just so many things from the gospel.  Today I was reading in Alma 5 so the other day we met a guy who asked us if we had salvation and we explained about the gospel of Jesus Christ and he said that was not how it worked but as I read Alma 5 this morning. Alma the younger explains about it and asks some great questions that I feel like that we could all use to evaluate ourselves to become more like Christ. It was just really cool.

Baptismal Invitations

Well, this week has been good. We had like 3 really long meetings. XP I learned a whole lot, but they also made me way tired. One thing President Choi really stressed was inviting everyone we talk with to be baptized.  so we started doing that. Some reactions we get to it are quiet hilarious. Some try to start walking away from us.  Some do really weird faces and such. But we're following his council and our numbers went up this week! It's been really exciting.

I read a talk this morning by Linda S. Reeves. I don't remember what it's called, but she stresses doing Family Home Evening, daily scripture study (with family), and daily prayers (with family) and she talks about how doing these things will strengthen us as trials come upon us and how the strength from them help and how the Book of Mormon does strengthen us. And she just encourages us to really do those things. It was really cool.

Luggage

I survived transfers. My companion and I are both staying in Cougar Mountain for another transfer!! Woot! We're super excited we had 2 lessons with A__________ and they went awesome!!! There are some amazing things happening here.

We are also planning a fireside and a ESL class for Chinese speakers. Since most of the population is Chinese anyways. But yeah.

So, somewhat funny story. So as we were waiting for transfer calls we just kept waiting and waiting and 10:30 came along and nothing happened, we didn't even get a text saying that transfer calls were over, so we weren't really sure what was going on. So this morning, we get a call and they ask if we can help the Russian sisters with there luggage. They were in a trio. and all 3 of them were getting transferred. So our car was full of luggage and that's the only reason we went to transfers. But I'm super excited for this transfer and this week it's going to be so fun!! :D

Wahoo!

WOOT!!! This week was just so great!! It was super hot! But that's alright because we had a baptism!! For T_______ L_____!! Woot!! It was very exciting. The spirit was so strong at the baptism. A____ came to the baptism. It was just amazing.

A______ is progressing really well. He's been keeping all of his commitments and we just see the small changes that he is making without having to ask him to make the changes and he realizes how good the gospel is and how it will make him a better person and he's willing to make those changes!! And something that's kinda funny is that  one of our members went up to him and asked him if
he was going to be baptized next week? And he said, "I dunno, I don't have anything scheduled." when the member told us, we busted up laughing because we have felt the prompting that he could get baptized this week. So we're praying really hard for our lesson on Tuesday.
