Hello all,
So it is transfers already because of the fact that i came mid-transfer from the MTC. So our "trio is down to two." Who can name the movie and the song. I'm not quite sure where this week has gone but i shall do my best to do a recounting of it for you.
I'm going to work backwards. So Yesterday began a small disappointment as two of our appointments fell through and one of them was a Korean investigator. But we kept our heads high and pressed forward and we met and taught a good lesson with someone we found on the street. and then we had a member present lesson with a couple from the ward. They are awesome. super strong because one is a convert and the other a reactivated member. The lesson was really good and powerful but i don't how well it was received by our investigator.
Sunday was fun and a little strange because i went to the Korean branch with the Korean elder (Koo) while my second companion went to our other ward to be with our investigator their. He enjoyed church and wants to come back again. Then we were able to go up to the Los Angeles temple Visitor Center with a potential investigator and a member family. Although she felt the spirit and really enjoyed talking and learning from us she isn't quite ready to take the discussions. Then we went to a part-member family from Greece and had some traditional Greek food, it was good but super oily and greasy and my stomach did not enjoy it. The Mom (the member) speaks Portuguese and even though i know basically nothing she spoke it and i was able to respond and that was fun.
Saturday was a miracle day for us. we had struggled to find a member and fellow shipper for our investigator (the one who came to church) and committing him to come to church. We finally came up with the idea of our recent convert and we called him and he came. We were able to pre-set with him to let him know what we would like him to do in the lesson so he isn't just sitting there or taking over the lesson. Most importantly how ever we told him to be willing to speak up every time he felt prompted to by the Holy Ghost. After that our investigator showed up and to our surprise and amazement they already knew each other previously.(They had played tennis together). Then during the lesson they just clicked and played off of each other and our member was able to affirm and re-iterate everything to our investigator everything we were teaching him. Because of our member our investigator decided to come to church. This is a miracle on two fronts maybe three..1. because of our member we were able to help our investigator progress in a way we couldn't 2. We were able to find a good fellow shipper for our investigator, someone he trusted and connected to, 3. Our member found a friend to go to church with. We were struggling to find a good strong friend for our Recent convert but now that he has become the friend and not the one being befriended i think it'll help him a lot.
Uhhh i cant differentiate anything before that i should have brought my journal.
All is well and i am loving the work and enjoy losing myself in it.
write me
