Hey Everyone!
It was another good week here in Nova Scotia!
Wednesday
we had district meeting in Annapolis Royal. We talked about the power
of faith and the ill effects of doubt. We also got to go to a baptism in
Bridgewater with our investigator Mare. It was about an hour and
twenty minute drive, but an awesome member, Sister Walker, drove her
down so she could see what a baptism is like. Mare loved it too! We're
shooting for her to be baptized on the 17th. She's definitely going to
make it. She's really excited!!
Thursday
we had Skype calls to help train the district leaders in the zone. I
also got permission to have a Skype lesson with Howard and Elder Olsen!
That was a good time. It was nice to get the Amherst crew back together.
Mare had her baptismal interview in the evening and she passed! If she
can stay smoke free from here on, she'll be baptized this Saturday!
Friday
we had probably the most snow this entire winter. We also had an
awesome dinner appointment with the Spinney family. Sister Spinney made
us Greek food, and it was amazing!
Saturday
we got to attend a great baptism in Sackville. The girl who was
baptized is a 17 year old who referred herself on Mormon.org. We also
had a lesson with our new, very short investigator Brenda, who's doing
really well. She had already read part of the Book of Mormon, and she
said she'd be open to baptism. So we'll see how her progression goes!!
Sunday,
was a great day! We had church and Mare came! Then we went knocking for
the rest of the day, and shoveled out a driveway for this lady who has a
sick child. That was a good experience.
Monday,
we prepared Mare's baptismal program, and she asked me to confirm her
on Sunday! We also taught our other investigator named Troy, and he put
himself on date for March 31st! He's so great. We're hoping and praying
he will make it.
Tuesday
Mare made us dinner and we taught her about missionary work. She's
already thought of friends who she thinks could accept the gospel. We
also found out about transfers. Turns out Elder Carlson is leaving
Kentville. I'm gonna miss him! We've had a lot of success together. My
new companion is Elder Bringhurst, from Alaska! I'm excited to serve
with him.
Love you all!! Have a good week!
Elder Haslam
