Well, this last week was pretty awesome! We got a lot of stuff done,
but the highlight of the week was my trip back to Colton!! Lazarus and
Gloria got baptized
on saturday! It was so awesome! And it was a very spiritual service. I'll send some pics.
Yucaipa
is still pretty slow on the investigator side of things, but we are
working on finding some more. We have a pretty good potential that we
are meeting with this week. A lady in the ward who has been less
active, but has been coming back in the last year or so, has a daughter
who has been coming to church for the last few months, and we decided to
ask her if she wanted to hear the lessons and stuff, and she said yes!
She seems really solid. Her name is Kimberly. So we will see how that
goes this week.
One of the things we do as
missionaries is we visit with the members, and help them make lists of
all the people they know who are non-members. Once the member has a
list of people, then we help them come up with things to do to help each
person progress. The list really just helps them remember who it is
they are working with. And it works really well! We went over to the
Ward Mission Leaders house the other day and went through his list, and
he saw a name on there and it reminded him that he had been prompted to
give the guy a book of mormon like 6 months ago, but he had never done
it. Well, since the list reminded him, he gave him the book of mormon
the next day! And it went super well! There has been a whole bunch of
experiences like that. The members want to do missionary work, but they
forget. So the list really helps them remember, and then we help them
come up with simple, non-pushy things they can do to share the gospel
with their friends! It's great! So I'm hoping it will pay off pretty
soon, and we will end up getting a referral from someone. It's only a
matter of time.
So yeah, that's about it for
my week. Sounds like you all had a good week back home though! Chinese
New Year is always a good time! And I love Lucie's Ferb box for
valentines haha! That's awesome!
Well, I hope you all have a really great week!!
