Sorry for the confusion with my P-day being on Thursday this week. There's a lot going on, but it's been great!
So, Wednesday, we picked up a new investigator!! Her name is Judy! She's awesome! We taught her about the Restoration and invited her to be baptized, and she accepted! She said, "I think I need some baptizing!" She worked at Burger King with one of the members here in the past, and they were really good friends! We're excited to keep teaching her.
Thursday we had MLC. We counseled a lot about how the mission can find more new investigators. It was a good counsel, and we learned a lot. Also, Troy passed his interview on Thursday too!
Friday we went on exchanges with the Bridgewater elders. We did quite a bit of finding! Another elder and I coincidentally knocked into Mare's grandma who came to her baptism! We tried teaching her a little bit, but she wasn't having it. We also had our last lesson with Troy as a non-member and taught him about how he can stay on the path that leads to eternal life after his baptism.
Saturday was the best! Troy got baptized!! I had the privilege of baptizing him. It was weird because I had to call him by his Chinese name and not Troy. I also had to rehearse saying his name because it's hard to say haha. But it all went well!! He enjoyed his service and everyone there had a good time. Mare was having a bad day on Saturday, so I bought some donuts from Tim Hortons, and she thought it was so funny! Man, Saturday was a good day!
Sunday was great! Judy couldn't come sadly because she wasn't feeling too well. But, Troy was confirmed by Elder Bringhurst!! Other than that, we had dinner with the Morrisons and did a good bit of knocking.
Monday and Tuesday were primarily spent finding. Tuesday we actually were visited by Elder Ipson and his companion, and they gave us some training for our district. They did a great job, and it was very beneficial. Then we had dinner with Mare at Brother and Sister Walker's house. She's doing so well!
Wednesday we went to Sackville to visit the district meeting for that district. That's why my P-day is on Thursday this week. We gave a training to them on overcoming adversity, and it went really well. Additionally, we had our interviews with President Pratt over Skype later that day, and we also taught Troy a lesson about family history, trying to get him started on that.
Yet another good week!! They're going by so fast I can hardly believe it.
Love you all!
Elder Haslam
P.S. The church is extremely true.
