We had a pretty busy week this week. We had MLC (mission Leadership Conference) almost all day Thursday, Friday we had a meeting with all the District Leaders in the zone, Saturday we took a couple hours to discuss our plans for our Zone meeting which is coming up this week. So to say the least. Oh also we had transfers on Tuesday which is always a busy day. Besides all the business stuff p, we have been seeing a lot of miracles!
We are teaching an investigator named Darren Mitchell. We
meet with him this coming week to set a baptism date. It was a miracle that we
found him! He said he was scrolling through his phone one day when a Book of
Mormon add popped up. He had met with missionaries in the past and loved the
Book of Mormon so he ordered it. Of course when you order a Book of Mormon you
get a free set of missionaries along with it. So we showed up a few weeks back
but he was too busy to talk. Well, we returned this week and we're able to sit
down and meet with him. He testified of how this book is the only book he
trusts and that he knows it is from God. We asked him how he knew that and his
answer was this, "Because no Book that can change a person so much and
make such an impact in one's life if it is not from God." What a spiritual
experience. That is so true too! Never before have I seen a Book make such a
difference in a persons life as this. He committed to baptism and now is
praying about a date. A cool fact about Darren, he works at the speedway and
said he could get us free tickets to any race we wanted. Also he said we would
get some of the best seats in the speedway where they serve us free food. We
would also get to meet the drivers. So I guess that is a benefit of baptizing
this guy. Haha
We had our ward Christmas party this week. 7 of our
investigators came to it and got to meet a lot of people from the ward! It was
great! Unfortunately none of her came to church though :/
I spoke in sacrament yesterday. What I spoke on was the
birth of Jesus Christ from the perspective of Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ,
the people in America, and us at the time of his birth. Can you imagine what it
would have been like the day before Jesus Christ came to the earth? I wonder
how the Savior felt? Or how Heavenly Father felt sending His son? Or even how
we felt up there in the premortal life watching him prepare to save the
world?
I hope you all have a great week! Elder Goff
Quote of the week: (talking about long distance swimming)Phil: I would swim 5 miles as a warm up.
Elder Dummer: I couldn't swim 5 miles if my life depended on it.
Me: I can't even run 5 miles!
Paul: I can't even swim!
