Time is flying by soooooo fast!! It's so crazy. It feels like I
just barely got here to Colton. Let's see, what all happened last
week. Well obviously the big news is the mission conference was last
week! It was super awesome!! Elder Anderson is super cool. And super
funny! He just kept cracking jokes and stuff. He taught us about the
Atonement. Which was super amazing!! One of the interesting things he
said was when he was talking about receiving answers to questions and
stuff and he said "If you want more answers, spend more time on your
knees." Which is so true! We have to pray always. He also told a cool
story. When he was a newish member of the 70 he went in and was going
over some stuff with President Faust and he had a lot of questions and
problems going on with his assignment, and he asked Pres Faust for the
answer and Pres Faust leaned back in his chair and thought for a sec,
then said "Have you prayed all night long like Enos?" And Elder
Anderson was like "No..." and Pres Faust said "Once you do that, you
will have your answer."
I was like whoa. That's a whole lot of praying. It's true though!!
God will always answer our prayers if we put in the effort that is
required.
We taught Ransom again last week and we set a baptism date with him for April 5!
Sadly, he didn't come to church with us this last sunday though, so to
be baptized by the 5, he is going to have to come every sunday
between now and then. So please pray for him!! He is awesome!! We
also found out for sure that he is super loaded. As in he has millions
in the bank. He get's three, $250,000 checks a year because of his
turkey ranch in Arizona. And he just put's it in the bank. He's such a
cool guy!
Let's see, what else? Oh we got a new investigator
this last week. Her name is Sabrina. And her husband is named Jose.
He's not really interested right now but I think as he sees the change
in Sabrina he will want to start learning too. They have a 1 year old
son named Sol. He's super cute. I guess some missionaries talked to
Sabrina like 6 or 7 months ago, set up a return appointment, and then
never showed up. And she was really bummed about it cause she's been
looking for a church and she's really open to learning new things and
stuff. We taught her the Restoration a little bit in our first
meeting. We have only met with her the one time but we are going back
this week.
And that's really all that happened last week I think.
Nothing too exciting. Which is weird considering where I am serving.
But it's cool. Haha
Well, missionary work is great!! I love it!! And I love you all! Thanks for all your support and prayers!!
Love Elder Wise
