" Captain Moroni is just the coolest. Can I just say how cool he is again. Is it bad that sometimes when we are talking to someone and they tell us that they aren't interested I just want to have them read about Captain Moroni. I don't really know if that will convert them but I know it'll be a good read. Can you imagine Captain Moroni today? He would be going all sorts of crazy about liberty, freedom and his wife. What the world needs now is more Captain Moroni s.
I have no idea what to write about because I feel like so many good things happened everyday so it's hard to pick what I want to say so I will just go through the week.
Monday: We got a new investigator! We stopped by a members because we had heard their neighbor met with missionaries and they were like "Let's go over there right now!" So off we went and he wants to learn more. So exciting!
Tuesday: We talked to a part member family and on the wall was the picture of the dad with Chuck Norris. We were like alright so when do you want to be active again and invite your friend Brother Norris to learn more about the restored gospel? We'd be willing to teach him and have a nice red head bond. A member fed us and invited her nonmember neighbor! That is what dreams are made of. Why can't we all just invite nonmembers to dinner appointments with the missionaries?
Wednesday: Everyone we talked to let us in their house! It was amazing! We talked to this recent convert who won't come to church anymore because he says there is one verse in the Doctrine and Covenants that contradicts a scripture in the Book of Mormon. He has had it explained to him multiple times but he is just set on it. It's sad. We talked for a good hour about food though. It almost sounded like he joined the church for the food which no one in Utah could blame him for. I'm grateful that Heavenly Father urges us to get a testimony of the eternal principles of the gospel through the Book of Mormon because that will never change.
Thursday: We get to visit a nice, nice member every week who is home bound and vacuum her house. It's become one of the highlights of my week. She is so nice! We get to do something and then have a good visit about the gospel. What could be better! The longer I am on a mission the more I am realizing the importance of families. Nothing can fix the problems of this world but families centered on Jesus Christ. Everyone I meet would be a completely different person if they were raised in a Christ centered home. The world changes through examples of good families.
Friday: We had Zone Training Meeting. It was a good time! We talked a lot about charity and what our vision is. We helped a family move and my companion is about the size of a Polly Pocket so it ended up being just the Dad and me moving all sorts of things. We were carrying dressers and mattresses. I felt a little bit like a boy because of how we were just moving things.
Saturday: Everyone let us in today as well! Blessings! Thanks for all the prayers on my behalf because they are working really well. A member invited us over and a part member family so we are adding a cute little 9 year old boy into our teaching pool. Give me a 9 year old boy and I will baptize him. Apparently that is my calling in life. I think it is because I am so intense that Heavenly Father knows I won't leave their side until they are returned missionaries who are married in the temple.
Sunday: Alex Boye came to Vegas and had a great fireside. He sang a song and then told about his conversion. It was funny because he was being taught by some sisters when he was 16 years old and he dropped them. The one started crying and bore her testimony. She told him that nothing matters but the gospel of Jesus Christ. That really hit him. He kept learning and got baptized a couple weeks later. In my last area we were teaching a 16 year old little boy. He wasn't really progressing. Then we found out we were getting transferred so we went to say goodbye to him. I too started crying and saying how nothing matters but the gospel of Jesus Christ. He was at the Alex Boye fireside and before it started he told me that he is going to get baptized. So when in doubt just cry and bare your testimony.
As you can see life is great. I just love being a missionary so much! It's almost a little unhealthy with how much I love being a missionary but that's okay because my parents are proud of me and that's all that really matters eh."
