Happy MLK day...yesterday, that is! I'm emailing today
because all the libraries in the county were closed for MLK day, so we've been
given permission to email today.
I said last week that I have a feeling that this transfer is
going to be great, and I was right: this transfer really has been going great!
Elder Morton is just plain awesome! He's a great missionary with a strong
testimony. Elder Morton and I were fortunate enough to pick up two former
investigators, who still have an interest in learning about the gospel. Monday
evening was AWESOME! We taught the Plan of Salvation at a member's house for
FHE to an investigator family. The presence of the Spirit during that lesson
was moving! It's as if the Spirit was bringing to my mind the very words that
the Lord would have me say to our investigators as we taught! On Tuesday Elder
Morton had an appointment with a foot doctor in Upland, so we got to cruise
around the city with the zone leaders for an hour or two. Interesting side
note: Our new zone leader, Elder Memmott, is cousins with one of my neighbors
back in my home ward! Again, such a small world! We also got 3 media referrals
in one day, which is a blessing; more people to teach! On Sunday we had ward
conference, and Adrienne our investigator came to all of church. The highlight
was that two of our other investigators, Kimberly and Kathy, came to all of
church with their less-active mom! I have been praying my whole mission that
they would come to church, and now my prayer has been answered! The stake
president gave a really good talk about goals and resolutions, and about the 3
"D's" of Lucifer: Deceiving, Discouraging, and Distracting. Try to
keep your focus on good things, particularly the gospel. Gotta go!
