Hello All,
After my unexpected transfer it has been pretty good to
be put into the Kenmore 1 area. It hasn't seen any success in a while, so it
will be a nice challenge. It seems like there is a pattern to when I get
transferred from areas. From my other areas I got transferred right after I had
some people lined up for baptism. We had 2 people lined up for baptism in
Redcliffe and then I get transferred to an area where people need to be found. I
guess some are called to plant seeds, some are called the nurture the seeds, and
some are called to harvest the seeds. I don't know why they ended the training
with Elder Grayson, but I guess the Kenmore district needed me. I will most
likely train again on my mission. There have been many challenges so far this
week.
We are teaching this boy named TJ, who really wants to be
baptized, but his Dad isn't a member and we have to get his Dad's permission to
baptize him, so we are hoping and praying that his Dad's heart will be softened
and let him be baptized. It should be good!
We also taught this
guy from Iran It name sounds like Farrad (I don't know how to spell it), but he
was baptized in Adelaide, but he moved away before he could receive the Holy
Ghost, so we will most likely have to re baptize him, but the only problem is he
is strongly against being rebaptized, so we will have to solve that concern. I
don't know why the missionaries in Adelaide told him it was alright for him to
move without receiving the Holy Ghost. We will have to work with what we have
though.
We also tracted heaps and watched General Conference.
Which was really great! The goal is to make the Missionaries and the Members in
alignment, so that the work can progress because it is time for hastening the
work of Salvation. It is the members job to find and the missionaries job to
teach, so continue to pray for opportunities to share the gospel with you
friends. I miss you all and I hope you have a great week!
