Well i´m still pretty sick, during this week i felt like
i was on my death bed a few days and so we didn´t get that much work
done this week sadly, but i feel that this week i´ll be feeling good
enough to work hard again. Anyway i guess i can catch you guys up on
what´s going on here.
R_____ and her son S____ are our golden investigators because we meet
them on a referral from a member and just from the first appointment they haven´t stop
progressing. They had gone to lots of different churches, but they didn´t
like any of the other churches, and one trip here to the LDS Church, and they already know that it is true. They
read everything we give them and they actually try to re-read it a few
times to understand it better and they pray and read together always.
S_____ is only 10 years old, but he is understanding alot of it, as he is just really into it
and always excited to go to church. They have a baptismal date for the 31 of August.
Satan is already working on them because since the first appointment
they have had friends and even her Mom come up to her saying that the
church is crazy and teaches lies, but even so, with the very little
knowledge they have, they have defended it. So even though i´ve been
really sick, we´ve always gone to these appointments to keep them progressing.
So the reason why i was sent here to this area is because in my old area we
were working with pure families and families with lots of marital
problems, and in a lot of the cases we were able to solve problems, or help out a lot,
and to me that joy of seeing a broken family get fixed with the gospel was
the best in the world and it got me super pumped to go find more families
like that to help them. So when i get here, i was talking to my comp
and he was telling me how they were thinking about dropping a few
families because... take a guess... they had marital problems. But i
arrived super pumped and prepared for just that so now we´re doing work
in that area. I know that God was preparing me in my last area to come here at
this time and help these families we have right now and i´m really
hoping i can do some good.
M______ (the determined kid) is this 12 year old kid who comes to
church on his own every week for the last 8 weeks or so. We finally had a formal appointment there with him and his mom and she was
telling us how she has noticed a big difference in his behavior, as he´s a
lot more respectful to everyone and does better in school and everything
now that he is going to church. His mom also said that she was looking
in the Book of Mormon for something to prove that it is wrong and she couldn't
find anything like what she was looking for, and she kinda admitted that she thinks the church is true, so
we´re hoping that the baptism of M______set for the 31st can help her to progress, and what's more she told us how her husband is shy but would like to learn
more also and M_____´s little brother said he wants to hear the lessons
too, so there you are, through this kid coming to church and allowing the
gospel to change him, a whole family might find that joy and peace that
there is to find in the gospel.
Questions: Is Mckay going to go to the same mission in Ukraine? Can you guys
send me the recipe for pumpkin chocolate chip bread that we make every Christmas? When are sign-ups for class for spring semester at USU?
Anyway i think that´s all for now; i am getting better health wise
so don´t worry too much, but keep me in your prayers. I know that this is
the work of the Lord and i´m pumped to be an instrument in the Lord´s
hands to help bring families to Him and make them eternal. I love you
guys and miss you, take care!
Love,
Elder Pfister
