This has been the most miraculous week of my mission thus far!! Sooooooooo much has happened this week.
On Monday we had an awesome pday we drove out into the bush and went to this town called Bullsbrook I bought a sweet aussie hat there :) Later that night we went to the R's house. We went there, and we taught brother R's nieces and nephews, and the niece is old enough to be baptized, and since her parents weren't there for the lesson, we invited her to ask for permission to be baptized, then we got a call from brother R later that night, and he said that she got permission, so we set her baptismal date for the 30th of this month :)))
Tuesday was INSANE. So We had a zone meeting on Tuesday, President Fife, came to it, and it actually went really really well. In fact it went so well that, in our MLC on Thursday, we discussed what we discussed in our zone meeting! Anywho, right after zone meeting, we had to book it back for this appointment we had with this lady named... long name! She is from new zealand. Elder Sto Tomas and Elder Impas found her on exchanges. So we went there, and it was the coolest thing ever! So she is suuuuuuper prepared. She has been studying this bible her grandfather gave her when she was young for years. She has never been involved in any sort of a church though. We ended up teaching her the plan of salvation, and before we taught each point, we asked her what her beliefs were of the next point, and so we asked her about what she believes will happen after this life, and she said, "it doesn't say this in the bible anywhere, but this is just something I've already believed, I just believe that when people die, that if they don't get a chance to hear the gospel, that they will have the opportunity." What the heck!!!! every single one of her beliefs were exact with the church's teachings. So naturally when we brought of baptism, she very enthusiactically said, "YES!" She was very teary during our entire visit. She said she is so excited to join the church. nice!!!!
Later on Tuesday night, we had an appointment with D and her daughters, they are the ones that share their backyard fence with the fence of the chapel. We had M and K ( our recent converts) and D come to the lesson. We taught a very simple plan of salvation mixed with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Then we invited them all to be baptized, and they all said, "yes!" so their entire family (including her husband) will be baptized next month!!!!! wow! So we have 6 people we are helping work toward baptism now :)) awesome awesome!!
On Wednesday, in the morning we tracted with one of the youth in our ward, C. He is going to be an apostle someday, I'm convinced. While tracting, we found a member who wasn't on the records, this aussie lady just covered in tattoos. We also tracted into a less active's house that I didn't know live there, but apparently they have been there for ages, and we actually taught the less active's partner, named R, and she is keen to have us come back and teach more. There has been a lot of miscommunication and stuff with her in the past because people have been really pushing for her kids to be baptized, but yeah we had a really good talk about the whole ordeal, and now she wants to learn more. haha I actually invited her to be baptized and she said no, but it was worth the try ;)
On Thursday we had mlc and another lesson with D and her kids! still super keen and all reading the book of Mormon :)
Friday was a bit nuts. We had mini missions in our stake, and we had to organize the majority of it. it was a bit hectic beause 7 of the 18 young men didn't show up, so a lot of reassignments had to be made. We got L, a convert of 2 years and he did awesome this weekend, we did quite a bit of tracting in the rain and hail and found some really good potentials :) We also taught D's cousins at his house. We had a really good lesson on the plan of salvation. We invited all of them to be baptized because why not, and they said they would if they came to know if it was true :)
Saturday we had another lesson with D, and her girls at D's house. They are all so accepting, and are progressing really well. What I love about them is that they read every chapter we invite them to read, even though they don't understand it. They are solid!!
Sunday was a bit nuts as well, we had to bless the sacrament, because all of the priests were on mini missions. We had an appointment with F and I at the K's house. It went pretty good, but it was just rushed because we ended the lesson15 minutes after the closing fireside for the mini mission started!!! So we booked it there, and we heard some awesome testimonies! K actually went on the mini mission as well, even though it was her birthday on sunday! She'll be awesome when she serves!!
This was just such an amazing week. Each week gets busier and better. Love it love it
It's time to go! I love you mom and the family. Just know that I am putting in EVERYTHING into serving the Lord right now, and ever since I've made that my determination things have been happening. :) I love the work and the Lord and you
Love Elder Beeson
