Currently we are teaching the most solid people and we have lots of people we are trying to re-contact.
Pete: trucker for the mines, he is Pentecostal but the church here fell a part. We found him door knocking and he is really keen! We have taught him a bit about the Book of Mormon the first time and invited him to read and he did! We also send him a daily verse and he sends us one occasionally. He even defends us against his church friends. We taught him the rest of the restoration. And he felt like it all made sense. His schedule is all over the place so we will see how he goes making it to church.
Rylan and Jason: Rylan is an 8 year old boy who wants to get baptiszed. We are teaching him with Legos and he helps us teach his dad Jason who is interested but acts like he is not. His mom is a member. We just have to help them come to church.
Devlin and Cally: Devlin is an 11 year old boy who wants to learn about Jesus. He actually really wants to come to church. Sunday was his birthday and he was super excited to come to church and he came with his mom! She is kinda doing it for him but she definitely saw how church helped her boy and little girl who is 6.
Ashley: young dad who wants to know how bad things happen to good people. He has been through a lot and we are going to try and show how the gospel can do that.
Most of this week was playing catch up and also teaching some members and recent converts about the priesthood to prepare them for that. We drove up to Mildura on Sunday for Zone Conference and will head up Thursday.
Devlin and Cally came to church and we had a super solid lesson on the restoration with Pete.
The gospel truly is amazing. Although a mission is really hard and sometimes you don't have the motivation. But when I get up and go work it is amazing to see how people's lives can change.
