Hey everyone!
I
hope all of you enjoyed conference; I sure did! We had lots of fun
because we were able to go over to a member's house, make breakfast, and
watch. It was funny because, while my companion and I were riding our
bikes there, a minister from a local non-denominational Christian church
stopped us and invited us to their services. The chance to bible-bash
was tempting, but we chose to watch conference instead ;)
It
has also been a crazy weekend in that transfers happen today. My
trainer Elder Tillotson is getting transferred to another zone to be a
zone leader. My new companion is a Polynesian guy named Elder Tautuiaki
(not sure how to spell it). From what I have heard, he's pretty cool.
Hopefully we get to work really hard this transfer.
We
have also had lots of lessons. The twelve year-old girl we have set for
baptism is almost finished with the missionary lessons; not exactly
sure how converted she is to the Gospel, but we will try to help
facilitate that conversion so that her baptism coming up is a truly
meaningful experience. That is one thing that our ward mission leader is
concerned about; he's worried that this will be another numbers
baptism, instead of a new, strong follower of Christ. The ward has
struggled with retention of new converts, so we don't want to rush to
get her baptized and have her fall away. But she is doing really well
overall; hopefully we can do that sometime this month.
I
really love all the pictures that you've sent me. It's exciting to see
friends and family from home since I can't see them for about 21 months
;) Keep sending them!
Make sure to keep in touch! I love all of you and would love you even more to hear from you! Take care, be safe, and press forward with a steadfastness in Christ!
Sincerely,
Elder Jones
p.s. I will try to send pics tomorrow!
