Well this week has been weird. Not like any other week I have
had on my mission. Mostly because we had to stay in all day Saturday and only
go to Sacrament on Sunday and then go home all day because Elder Boehmer was
and still is really sick and wasn't allowed to be in anyone's house so the last
few days has been really boring.
One thing
that did happen that was awesome is that we got a call from one of our
investigators, named Garry. He called us and told us that he wanted us to come
over because he had just read a chapter from the Book of Mormon that we left
him to read the last time we met with him. He told us how it reminded him of
the Lords prayer and how reading 2 Nephi 31 made him feel good and really
calmed him down from the stress he had been feeling and so we were talking to
him and Elder Boehmer asked him if he wanted to become a member of our church
and he told us that is something he would like to do in the future but he has a
smoking problem so he didn't want to set a date to be baptized yet but as we
continued to talk to him and eventually invited him to be baptized and also
helped him set a goal to quit smoking he agreed and it was so awesome how the
spirit worked within him and helped him see that he needed to be baptized so it
was really cool and Awesome to see because Garry has been taught since the end
of December and he has came to church like 10 times so it was really good to
help him make the jump and the goal to be baptized.
Another
really crazy thing that happened on Wednesday while we were on exchanges and I
was with Elder Winkler, who was Elder Kelly's trainer. We were out knocking on
some D's and he recognized a house that he and Elder Kelly knocked on Elder
Kelly's first day in the mission and they found a guy who was interested but the
Elders in Clearbrook never were able to contact him so we went and knocked on
his door and were able to teach him and his daughter. It was really awesome
because I was completely guided by the spirit that we go knock on the street we
were on even though we didn't know it at the time.
Sorry this Email is kind of short but almost half of our
week was cut short because we had to stay in the apartment for a few days.
Love
Elder Slack
