Grindin' 🏃🎮⛪️- Week 91 - September 26, 2022

This last week we went to the temple; it was so amazing. It's always a honor to be able to enter the house of the Lord. 

Our friends Becky and Jeffery will be getting baptized on Friday this week. We had the opportunity to talk to them about the temple, so that was amazing. We then played to CoD zombies with their son named Silver. We are trying to build trust with him, and so we thought that was the best way to do it. 

Lately, it's been really hard for us to find people. We have been knocking doors and street contacting. However we find like 2 people a week. We are trying to work hard and effectively. 

Lastly, in my personal study this morning I was reading in Isaiah. I came across these couple of verses I liked a lot:

Isaiah 51:22-23

"22 Thus saith thy Lord the Lord, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:

23 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over."

Our preparation day this week is on Tuesday, because as a district we decided to go to the temple today. 

This week went by super fast. We had some really good lessons and we also got dropped by some people. It's always sad when someone does that to you. One person in particular was reading the Book of Mormon and loved learning from us. We tried helping resolve his concern, however he just didn't want us coming over anymore. 

Next, Elder Eaton and I had to give a training in Zone Conference on Thursday. We were expecting to only have to teach a zone and a half. But the sisters that were teaching the other half asked if we could help them; one of them were sick. So we taught that group of people without knowing what the training was, hahaha. You always have to be on your toes as a missionary.  

That's it for this week!

Great week! 😁- Week 89 - September 12, 2022

We had a few really good lessons this week. First off, we had one with the soilders on base (Broski and Webb) and we taught them about the commandments. They are solid for their baptismal date on September 24th. 

We then had a lesson with some new people named Shane and Anna. We just got to know them really well, and understood what they were hoping to gain from meeting with us. We gave them a Restoration pamphlet and invited them to read it. I'm excited about them. 

Other than that nothing too crazy happened. President Fitzgerald wants Elder Eaton and I to give a training at zone conference. Pretty nervous about that, but it will go well. 

That's it for this week!

Airsoft!🔫- Week 88 - September 5, 2022

Good week. We had our friend Jacques get baptized. It was a small service, because he is on the military base. He then got confirmed a member and got the priesthood on Sunday at church. 

We once again went and played basketball with Deonte. Our friend that we found a few days before named Marques came and played too. It was super fun. There was like 20 people there and Elder Eaton and I were the only white guys. Everyone is so good. 

We had some really good lessons with people we have found recently. One in particular named Kevin, he had read the first 3 chapters of the Book of Mormon. He then goes to explain everything perfectly. It was awesome, we are really excited about him. 

Love ya!
