The End is Near
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Let's
see... Dylan is doing pretty good! If all goes according to plan he will be
baptized next Tuesday which happens to be the day before transfers! Crazy that
next transfer is my last one anyway he's working to overcome some
Word of Wisdom issues with tea of all things! When we taught him about tithing
he thought he had to pay 10% of everything he has in the bank so he was ready
to drop a fat stack of cash for tithing and was relieved when he learned he
didn't have to haha. Those are the type of converts we want tho!
Ethan
and his family are doing good. If you don't remember Ethan, he was baptized
back in April and now we teach his family because he wants them to be baptized
so bad because he loves the gospel. He's even considering going on a mission
which is crazy!
Let's
see what else. Oh for those who know me well, you know that I am a pretty big
introvert, so the idea of just going up to random people and talking to them is
terrifying and the first time I tried it on campus it was a huge fail. Well
recently I put on my big boy pants and did it! And it's for a fathers day
video, so be sure to check out the Facebook page "Church of Jesus Christ
in Derby" or the Instagram page "we_know_him" for some hopefully
high quality content!
We're
teaching 3 college dudes who are very skeptical of everything we say, so we use
the bible a lot and while teaching about baptism we turn to john 3:5 which says
"verily verily I say except a man be born of water and of the spirit he
can no wise enter the kingdom of God" or something like that. Well I
thought it was pretty obvious what that meant, especially considering Jesus has
just told Nicodemus that he can't go back into the womb and then later the
apostles go and baptize, but these 3 goobers tried to tell me that being
"born of water" wasn't baptism and that referred to a physical birth
because of the fluid that is present... we later dropped them.
We had
zone conference since the last time I wrote! It was with our new area president
Elder Ames! It was only about 3 hours, and he talked all about planning and how
to effectively plan and schedule things, we've been implementing some of the
things he taught! Cool dude too.
It has
been getting H O T out here in the Midwest. I'm talking we've had days up at 95
with like 100% humidity so you step outside and everything is just sticky and
gross and I already sweat really easily so it's been an experience. I do love
the heat tho so I can't complain too much.
Ummm
yeah that's all I can think of to write about. My grandpa said I should tell
everyone who hasn't sent an email to me in the last oh I'd say 3 weeks that
they're gonna get removed from my email list for the last transfer hah. Not
like I send em too much anyways, but still Grandpa you are a legend. So y'all
know the deal. If you're reading this and I haven't heard from ya in the last
three weeks in the words of Grandpa Galen "Remember to threaten your
followers with sudden excommunication from your mailing list unless they each
send you an email within your specified time frame." So y'all have a
week;)
Warmest
regards,
Elder
