It was another interesting week here in Idaho. It all
started off Monday night while we were at a member's home. Their
teenage son backed into the backend of our car while we were inside. So, I got
to deal with all the paperwork and getting an estimate on it. Luckily, it
wasn't my fault, so I won't lose driving privileges. But we will lose the
car for a couple of days when it is getting fixed, so that's always fun.
Jenny continues to keep pushing along. She is still meeting with us, praying, reading, and coming to church, so not more that we can ask for there. Just hope that time will heal the family situation. We went to the temple this week and that was nice. I hadn't been in a couple months. I put some of our investigator's names on the prayer roll to give a little extra support on things.
We found a new investigator this week. His name is Lok and he is about 19. He is from Burma and has a great fellowship family in the ward. He already believes most everything about the church (similar to the African family that I baptized last summer.) He really loves the idea of the priesthood and wants to serve a mission. We challenged him to baptism and he accepted for March 23rd. So the same day as Jenny.
A couple weeks ago we found a part member couple that the husband (member) just got out of jail and wants to get active in the church. His wife (non member) who was a bit anti awhile back has come to church two times in a row. We had a really solid lesson with her on the Restoration and challenged her to baptism and she accepted for March 30. So we now have three baptismal dates and have found seven new investigators. That improves our lesson count from six (the week before I got here) to eighteen (this past week) in the past two weeks, with more to come. It's been pretty cool seeing the fruits of your labors.
We had zone conference this week as well and talked about the Plan of Salvation and the Atonement. We also found out more on the mission split. Whatever area we are in on the June transfer will be the mission that we will stay in. Also they are looking at having 200 missionaries in each of the three missions (right now we only have 200 missionaries in this mission.) It will be a big change, but I'm just trying not to think about it until June!
Well, that's it for me. Things are still going well here, no complaints. Hopefully life is good elsewhere. Peace and Blessings.
Love,
