Hey everyone!!
Well another transfer has passed. We received our transfer news on Sunday night. I will be finishing Elder Burtons training in Winnemucca. This will be my 3rd transfer here. As for this past week, it was great. We have had a lot of progress. We found a couple of people and we set someone on date to be baptized. Here is the weekly recap.
Monday
Pday and we had a lesson with Layne and ate dinner with his family
Tuesday
We helped a nonmember move a very heavy commercial oven with 2 youth. It was pretty hard haha. Elder and Burton and I drove up the mountain for our comp Study which was fun and took some pictures. The rest of the day was spent contacting people
Wednesday
We did service for the Jones family. We also helped someone move. The wife and husband got into a big argument while we were there which made it a bit awkward haha. We read 1 Nephi 9 and 10 with Stacy and Tracy. We tried to contact some of our investigators. We ended off the day going to mutual.
Thursday
We did service for Sister Hall. She fed us lunch afterwards. We had our weekly planning session that took the chunk of our day. We checked up on some members and then finished the day with basketball. We had a good turnout which made it pretty fun.
Friday
We helped out out the FCAA where they put boxes of food together and give it out to people. We handed the boxes out in the drive thru for a while and I loved it. I could've done it for the whole day. We had an incredible lesson with Gary Clark. We ended the day with playing chair soccer with a less active/non member family.
Saturday
The Southwicks fed us breakfast and then we helped them paint their fence. We attended the other Elders baptism. The rest of the day was spent contacting and finding. We were able to get Jordan some more food and we gave him a white shirt to wear to church.
Sunday
Very good Sunday! Gary came to church as well as Jordan. He even brought his little son. We were so happy. We were waiting outside for Gary and he showed up at 10:02. After church we had another lesson with him. We went to Elder Gutierrez farewell party the Spanish group put on because he is going home this week. We also contacted a couple of people
Lesson Reviews
Gary Clark
This man is GOLDEN. Withing 1 week of meeting him he is already on date to be baptized. Plus his baptismal date is on December 3! Crazy. Within 3 weeks of meeting he might be baptized. Our lesson went amazing. We taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ and we asked him if he had been baptized and he said yes so we went into how we need to be baptized by someone with the proper authority and he soaked it all up. I felt the Spirit very strongly telling me to extend the invitation to be baptized and he said yes. He literally agreed with everything we said and I though it was too good to be true. My faith was lacking that he was actually going to be baptized because of how well it went but then he came to church! He even brought his Book of Mormon that we gave him. Also it turns out that his boss his Brother Betteridge (a high councilor in our ward) and he had been to church before and has even cleaned the temple foyer! We had another lesson on the Restoration after church with Brother Betteridge and that went very well as well. Gary said that he felt the Spirit and knows it is true! The next two weeks are gonna be very busy if he is gonna be baptized on December 3.
Well that's about it for this week. Please pray that it will continue to work out for Gary to be baptized on December 3. Thank you for all the prayers coming my way. I love yall!!!
Have a great week
