Transfer 9 Week 4 Update 7-9-12

Hello everyone,

 

Hope everyone had a good fourth of July. 

 

On Tuesday at district meeting we met our new mission president and his wife. They are both wonderful! President Wirthlin has a lot of experience working for the church and he has a great spirit about him coupled with a very firm testimony. Sister Wirthlin is adorable! From meeting them both they are very loving and easy-going, laid-back people. For district meeting we just did a get to know you of President and Sister Wirthlin and they gave us their story. After that, President Wirthlin interviewed each of us individually then his wife interviewed us after he did. Great, great people. 

 

Wednesday, July 4th the ward had a joint pancake breakfast with the other ward here. It was a lot of fun for all who went. After that, we did some finding (gotta love holiday finding, ha). We did have an appointment that day with P. one of our recent converts, which was nice to have an appointment. That afternoon after we taught P. about eternal marriage, we went to the Bishops house for grillin with some other members as well. It was a pretty good fourth of July even without fireworks. 

 

Friday and Saturday we were on exchanges and did another 3 way exchange. Before we went to exchange, we got to teach a couple less actives. And actually one of them is on her way to being reactivated, she has come to church the past couple Sundays. After we exchanged, Sister L., Sister S. and I headed off to an appointment with one of our investigators, M., who we are trying to set with a baptism date but he's still praying about it. It was a pretty short lesson because we were late trying to find the place he just moved to which is way far away in our area and we had a dinner appointment afterwards. Saturday we visited some people that Sister S. had taught while she was here. 

 

Sunday, we taught one of our investigators A., using the pamphlet for the Restoration and it went really well I think. We invited him to pray about the restoration and the Book of Mormon. We will be following up with that this coming week hopefully. That's about it for this week, talk to you all next week.
