Hello Everybody!
This week went by pretty quickly!
Wednesday
we had district meeting, and I gave a training on teaching the
Restoration simply, quickly, and powerfully. It went really well! After,
Elder Warner and I went knocking for 5.5 hours, and we talked to a lot
of really nice people, so that was good.
Thursday,
we called this guy we gave a BoM to a couple weeks ago and he told us
that he read the entire Book of Mormon! We were super pumped. So we
stopped by his house and visited with him. We sat down and he slapped
down a bunch of anti articles onto the table and started going through
them with us. It was pretty annoying haha, but it was also fun because
we addressed everything he brought up and used the scriptures to back it
up. He was pretty closed off though, so I don't think he really
listened to us. We're still not sure if he actually read the BoM. If he
did, he certainly didn't do it with an open heart. Oh well.
Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday I served in Halifax with one of my trainers, Elder
Larson. His companion was needed someplace else, so I was his companion
for a few days. I got to attend the Halifax YSA ward on Sunday and that
was awesome! Some of the YSAs had us over for dinner too. I had a ton
of fun, and it was really nice to serve with Elder Larson again after
all these months. It was weird being in such a big city though.
The
other day I got to go on exchanges with Elder Ipson! We went knocking
and had a ton of fun. He and his companion are traveling the mission to
give some basic training to all of the missionaries. So they gave us a
district meeting, and it was really awesome! I learned a lot and Elder
Ipson killed it!
Hope everyone is doing well!
