"Well hi theeeeere :)"- Alex the Lion from Madagascar. (That's for Alex Delbar :D)
This week has been really good! On Saturday we set a goal to have 20 Morning Teachings. (Morning teaching Includes: Talking to someone outside, Bearing testimony, teaching Unique/restored truth, and leaving a commitment.)
The most I've ever gotton in one day was 24 or so. So to prepare ourselves for this task, we role played morning teaching and discerning their concerns and using the Book of Mormon as much as we could. So when we found a question, or concern we addressed it with the Book of Mormon. And that is actually what I instructed on in District Meeting (Using the Book of Mormon in contacts and as much as possible) and so we were doing our best. We picked out our "Arsenal" of scriptures and went to work. And we got 30!! It was pretty awesome! When we prepare, the Lord provides. We met some really cool people!
"J" (The one who just got baptized) Passed the Sacrament on Sunday! Wahoo! It was sweet! He's a boss! And Elder Engstrom (My Companion) is a natural born teacher! It's pretty awesome! Being a trainer is fun andiIt's hard. haha but I like it. I've been blessed with him, he's excited, converted, and is a good teacher! So it's kinda easy. I guess the hard part is that these two transfers will set the tone for his whole mission.... Dun dun dun! He's a really good missionary.
"E" (One of our investigators) moved to California.... and then texted us and asked if, "If one of you were to baptize me, would I need to go back there? or could you come to California?" haha it was pretty cool!
Welp, I gotta go! Or "... Blow this Popsicle stand!" As Phineas would say.
Remember, The church is true, The book is blue, and you have work to do. And... Families don't slip away. I love you all so much! Keep and remember the covenants you made in the Temple! :D
Con amor, Elder Allen :D
