Last pday we did
the normal thing, but that night we lad a powerful lesson with Debra. We
watched the movie "Joseph Smith, the Prophet of the Restoration". She
loved it, and afterward Elder Osenga and I bore testimony, and she and
her husband were crying. Then, her husband Brian bore testimony to her
how he knows it to be true. By the end, we were basically all in tears.
We then talked about how they can be sealed in the temple a year after
she is baptized. She hasn't picked a date yet, but she's getting there!
Tuesday,
I went on exchanges with Elder Starkweather, in Mound Fort. We did some
finding all day, and played a lot of basketball with kids on the
streets. Needless to say, we always won, and got to share a message.
Later, we found this kid named Kevin, that totally wants to get baptized.
His mom is all for it, and they are trying to get reactivated.
Wednesday,
we had district meeting like usual. Then, we had service at the Ogden
nature center for like 3 hours. We planted some seeds, and it was pretty
fun! The rest of the night we did some finding.
Thursday
was the very exciting day! We are in the Avenues, walking down B Avenue,
when all of a sudden, BOOM! About 50 yards in front of us, a power pole
just blew up. It looked like a lightning bolt, but much wider. It was
extremely loud as well, sounded just like a cannon! So, all the
neighbors started coming out, and seeing what was up, they just see 2
kids in suits and ties, standing in shock. Eventually, when we figured out
what it was, we ran over to the fire station, which is only like 2
blocks away. Then, the rest of the day, all of Ogden and West Haven were
out of power! It was insane.
Friday,
we did knocking and street contacting all day, and met some potentials!
We met this woman named Joyce, who has a member daughter, and has always
been curious about the LDS church. So we taught her a little bit, and she
committed to Baptism!
Saturday,
I can't remember all what we did... But we did go to a High Priest
dinner with Debra and her husband! It was pretty fun haha. Later than
night, we went to the Ogden Tabernacle with them, and watched "The Lamb
of God" performance. It was a really nice musical performance.
Sunday was a normal Sunday. Lots of church, and trying to get investigators to church. 7 came though! It was good.
That's all I got this week. Not sure if I have any photos.... But I'll take more next week! Love you all!
