Week 82

Corona Round 2 Transfer 2 Week 4

Feb 3, 2014

Oh my goodness, I can't believe that it's already week 4 of this transfer!

 

So, some things to know. My release date is June 24th. Because The new mission president will come around July 1st (the original transfer date, or something around there) we will do our transfers, and me flying home, the week before on the 24th so the new mission president doesn't have to deal with that headache.

 This week hasn't been super eventful. We spent the majority of it in meetings.

 

Our investigator Juan is probably going to be baptized this next weekend. However, his mom only speaks spanish and she wants to be baptized too, so Juan has been taking his mom to the spanish ward, since he's been attending there he's going to be baptized into that ward.

 

The Nomura's have been put on the backburner. We talked to the dad yesterday and he still doesn't believe in Jesus and doesn't want to come to church. He's okay with us coming over, but mostly I think because he likes us.

 

We have a couple new investigators named Nichole and Azod, Elder wilkinson started teaching them when we were on exchanges, so I met them for the first time at church yesterday. They are pretty cool.

 

Something a little worrying that I've been noticing lately is how little people actually talk about Jesus at church. Yesterday was fast sunday and I took a tally of all the testimonies: out of 16, only two were centered on the Savior. Then, the elder's quorum lesson was about family finances (the only time anyone said anything about Jesus Christ was right before "amen"). So something to think about. Whenever bearing a testimony, giving a talk or teaching a lesson make sure to ask yourself "How does what I am saying relate to Jesus Christ and his atonement?" I think the problem is that we sometimes take Him for granted and get distracted with the little details of the church. As long as we focus on the doctrine (which comes from the scriptures) things will always turn out okay.  

 

 

Well, I'm out of time.

love you guys!!
