G'day everyone,
This week went by suuuuuuper fast. I honestly only remember a few things that happened. I feel like I emailed yesterday, (don't worry I didn't ;) )
On Monday night we got a call from this lady who we contacted a few days earlier from papua new guinea. Her name is L. She said when we originally contacted her, that she wanted to come to church, and yeah she didn't end up coming, but then she called us up the next day and said that she wanted to come, and she said that we could pop by. So we went by on Wednesday with one of the newly ordained elders, and taught L. She opened right up, and told us she wants to get on the right path, and so we invited her to be baptized, and she said that she wants to be! So we are aiming to help her to get there within the next month :)
On exchanges apparently my companion and the other elder taught her at a members home with some dinner, and the spirit was super strong. So yeah, she's a cool lady! the only bummer is that as soon as her friends and family found out she was investigating, they are now swooping in to take her to their churches... haha so yeah she didn't end up coming to church this week, but she'll be there this next week :)
Also met another Apostate member through tracting this week. He was a Jew, then he was baptized a Mormon, then he went back to being a Jew. So that was interesting, he said that we can come by again.. but we'll see ;) then we also tracted in to this guy from Zimbabwe he was super hard to read at first, but as soon as we started talking about the book of Mormon, he got pumped and wanted to read it! So we are teaching him now.
But yeah this week was just heaps of door knocking, and just working hard. It's been fun though. Our mission president has had this big push recently of teaching, testifying, and inviting people to act within a 60 second contact time. hahah it's been pretty funny applying it this week, because it's all really fast paced, but it keeps you focused on what's most important!
We also had zone conference this last week, and something that came up not only there, but within a few different places to me was how important it is that we keep our spiritual experiences between us and the Lord sometimes, and about how important it is to take the time to pray, and to pray in faith! so much to learn in the gospel. Love it :)
hope yous have a good week
love, Elder Beeson
it's always a competition to see who can outflex the other ;) hahaha
