Well this wasn't the best week for my companion and I in the
field. The work was pretty slow this week but we still had some great
experiences. After changing a members flat tire on Monday we enjoyed the
rest of our P-Day and made our way to dinner that night. Following
dinner we still had some time to go make some visits and figured we
should stop by the ward fish fry that was going on. Well lets just say
I'm really glad that we did! From the half hour that we were there we
set up a couple lessons, placed a Book of Mormon, and received a new
investigator!!! So the current standings with our main investigators are
as follows.
Gina and Mika - Just finished the lessons waiting to find out what Saturday they'll be available to hold the baptism on.
Tehani - Keanu's 17 year old sister, Just finished the lessons asked her to pray about a date.
Amanda - New investigator from fish fry, 1st lesson went really
well and I have a feeling she's going to get baptized, have a second
lesson set for this week.
Mimi - Agreed to be baptized, working on a date.
- And the rest are at the same spot as last week.
Guy
and Maluhia - Keanu's dad and 19 year old sister we've taught the 1st
lesson to and are meeting with them when ever their available hope to
set them for the end of November.
Kendal - Looking to set him this week to get baptized early November
Dray - Set for mid to late November
Goyeau
family of 6 - Not certain yet but we should be teaching them the second
lesson soon and I hope they'll be ready between late November and early
December.
Well our zone all had interviews with the mission
president this week which I thought went really well. The president was
really up lifting and told us that he had received some
complements about my companion and I from a member whose in charge of
stake public relations. Our transfers are in a week and I think
I'll still be here another transfer but one of our roommates already
knows he's leaving so we've all been speculating on what the new guy is
going to be like. I'm excited to see some of the work my companion and I
have been doing turn into a number of baptisms in the upcoming month!!!
We've been privledged to teach so many amazing people who all have
strong testimonies of the gospel of christ. Everytime I see the
Warburtons I can't help but smile and state again just how grateful I am
to know them and be part of their baptism. Coming from the priesthood
meeting last night he walked by us as we drove a way and yelled "Ask the
missionaries they can help you". Also I don't know if I told you but we
have brother Corbridge in our ward whose father is in the Seventy got
the Warburtons some awesome tickets to general conference up
front....AND...they got to go through the tunnels and have lunch in the
Seventy's cafeteria!! I'm so jealous but happy for them at the same
time!!! When they got back from Salt Lake they gave my companion and I
gifts that they bought at Deseret Book of two plastic missionaries! Ha
man their awesome!
Well I hope you were able to go through all the
pictures that I sent you guys! And I'm really excited for this election
to end cause I'm tired of all the dumb political junk mail that we get
every single day! One of the people running for Senate here is in the
Stake Presidency and we got to here from him last night. He gave a great
talk and a big focus of the night was about missionary work. It's crazy
to think how many poeple are going on missions now, but I can't help
but be excited. At the same time I'm glad that I'm on my mission right
now cause I don't know how I'd be doing with all the drama going on at
home and college!! I'm really glad that I'm able to focus on the mission
and really not worry to much about the things going on in the world
around me. I hope you all are doing well and I'm sorry to hear about
Daniels game! Tell Harris that I love him and will be praying for his
health. Best wishes!!! Love,
Elder Keller Reeves
