Well
hello there family! I wish I had cool video's to send you... but I
don't! I got these here pictures from our Zone Training Meeting and with
a really awesome man named Brother Nonoy! He comes to church every week
and he lives in a house about the size of our downstairs bath room
without the laundry room attached. That describes for you how poor these
people can get! I love them so much!
Well this week was a bit rough! We had a lot of
distractions from the work like weddings, firesides, getting keys copied
in the city... We did decent for the time we had but I think it can get
better! There is always room for improvement! This week was a bit
taxing! It was eye opening to realize I have been in this area for a
long long time!!
Well Sister H is getting baptized on the 23rd! Hopefully it goes through. Her friend was gone on Sunday so we might have to move it back to the 30th if they want to be
baptized on the same day! She is so awesome! She is starting to get
involved in the ward, hopefully she can get some friends soon to keep
her active.
Dad here is a good idea of an fireside/activity for
the ward missionaries! We made a fireside where all Ward Missionaries
need to bring a investigator/less active to church! We teach a quick
lesson on the restoration ( prophets, priesthood, Christ's ministry, and
the apostasy), after those principles we gave them a small intro to
Joseph Smith, then watched the restoration video on a projector! This
was a very easy way to teach the first lesson and get the members
involved and active! We had popcorn and snacks and it was just really
fun and short!
We also had the chance to be able to work with
Brother Eddie. You remember him? My first baptism in the area? The one
who use to live at the Sano's house? Well yeah he came and worked with
us and I was just blown away! He is progressing so fast! He is making
conversation with our investigators and everything! He was barely able
to have a conversation when I got here, now he isn't even shy about it! I
am so proud about that!
Things are getting a bit stale here, the progress is
little, but I am trying so hard to keep going! We hopefully will find
potential investigators soon! We are trying former investigators,
OYMing (Open your mouth), everything to just get things going! The one thing I can say is
the progress in the ward missionaries are improving and growing! We are
finding progress in the ward! And as Sister Page talked about without a
sturdy foundation the structure will not stand!(Helaman 5:12) That is where all wards need to start! Then work up!
I know things will get better I just got to keep
looking up! I hope you are all having fun and staying healthy! Keep
working hard in school and work! I promise it will be for the best! I
love you all! I keep you all in my prayers!
Love,
Elder Minson
