Through the Gate! 🌊

Another fruitful week in the Ogden West stake! Marty was baptized and confirmed this weekend, and has entered the gate! The Lord is preparing so many people in this stake, and I have nothing to complain of it! We also had quite a few lessons, and found some new potential investigators this week. Here's the rundown! Last Monday was nothing special, and can't remember what we did, plus LDS emails were having issues, so it was awful!

Tuesday, Elder Link had to go to the clinic in the morning, and afterward we stayed there, and watched the broadcast with the new first presidency! It was amazing to hear from our newly ordained prophet and his counselors. We thank thee oh God for a prophet! Tuesday was also the last day of the transfer, so we had to deep clean our apartment. That took a while. Then that night, we had a lesson with the Fowers, Wylie and Anastasia. We taught them the plan of salvation, and found out that they lost a daughter at 6 months old. We were able to reassure them of where she was, and how they can see her again. It was a great lesson, and they for sure have a testimony of the plan already.

Wednesday, we had a lesson with the Rowe kids. All 3 of them are on date for the 10th of February. We taught them the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I believe. Can't remember fully. It was good though! We also got Marty interviewed that night for his baptism coming up that Friday. It was a good day.

Thursday, we had district meeting. Afterward we had like 3 lessons cancel on us, so that was no fun, but we tried contacting former investigators instead. Kind of a half dead day. We did have a lesson with David that night, on the plan of salvation. We set a new goal for him of getting baptized this coming Saturday, so we will see what happens! To close the night, we had our weekly stake correlation.

Friday was awesome! In the morning we had service at this rodeo place, setting up for a rodeo. While we were there, we took some pictures by this wall that had some cool paintings. Check them below! Afterward, we weekly planned until dinner. That night, Marty was baptized by his fellowship, Brother Goulding! He asked me to give the talk on baptism, so that was cool! Afterward, we played some basketball with some non members in the YSA ward!

Saturday was kinda slow. We contacted some formers, did some tracting, but nothing came of it.

Sunday Marty was confirmed a member of the church! It was an amazing confirmation, and sacrament meeting. That night we went to his house, and finished filling the baptismal record since we forgot to beforehand.
That's my week for y'all! I love you all, talk to you next week!
