Missionary News this Week

    THE LAST TWO WEEKS OF SUCKEDDDDD!!!!!!! dropped 5 times. all our investigators fell off date!! and then Sunday happened.... We invited one of our less actives to church and asked if he could give us a ride. He hadn't been to church in 5 years or so. He came and said he wants to go back again! 

Now "Ernie's" family aren't members. He is married to a catholic lady and her kids are living with them.So on the way home from church I asked "Ernie" if we could talk to his family and his wife's kids (who are married with kids too) about the gospel...He told me we could try but it  probably wouldn't be of any use. I figured at this point I was willing to try anything to get some new investigators...WOW THE LORD IS AMAZING!! All of a sudden "Ernie's" wife and her daughter, and her husband started talking about religion. Some how I taught the plan of Salvation. I feel bad being a trainer some times...I often teach an entire lesson with Elder Pyne saying 1 or 2 sentences. It's not that I don't trust him. I just get going and I'm off like a rocket! 

But anyways right as I was about to wrap up the lesson "Oren", the husband of "Ernie's" wife's daughter asks "when will you be back" So we set up an appointment for tonight at 8! Please pray for this family. I know they feel the spirit so much, but as we all know prayers always help.  I am so grateful for the opportunity to teach the gospel to others.  I know that this church is true!

I love hearing from all  of you!!!  Miss you and love you all so much!  I keep you in my prayers every day!

Love, Your son, your favorite bro!!!

Trainer ... The Lord qualifies whom He calls.

My new companion and greenie is Elder Pyne.  He is from Utah.  He played right tackle in high school.  I should be his trainer until January 20th.  Mom, as far as a trainer goes I basically show him the ropes and make a copy of me and put him out in the field. :)  On November 12th we had the opportunity to baptize another young lady into the church.  I think that it is petty awesome for Elder Payne to be out in the mission field 2 weeks and having his first baptism.  I was asked to confirm Mac (name changed) as a member of the church.  It was an overwhelming experience.  It is an awesome to feel the spirit of the Lord and be able to share it with others.
