This week has been very interesting. It was POWER week, which means you have really high goals for each day, and you contact everyone.
Monday: 2 sit
down lessons with people you just barely met when knocking on doors...or on the
road
Tuesday: we were
to give out 13 copies of The Book of Mormon
and receive the people’s information (we were not to hand out copies of The Book of Mormon like candy)
Wednesday: we
were to talk to everyone for 2 straight hours, and we were to add 20 people. That
one was a little rough, every single person rejected us for 2 straight hours,
but after we got some contacts and new investigators.
Thursday: we were
to give 5 new people week 5 baptism goals. We didn't have that much time to
contact because we were meeting with 3 people that already had baptism goals. And
then riding out to Daxia and meeting with some less actives.
Friday: we were
to confirm 15 people for church. Which wasn't too bad. And we got to check up
on some people that we hadn't talked to in a while.
Saturday: talk to
20 families. Which was the easy part, it was hard to switch information so that
we could call in the future. But we contacted a family who were members just
from Sanming. They were really cool, super sweet. Ye Jiemei had her baptismal
interview, and she said that she will have her parents sign it that night. Which
is super exciting. She is so awesome. She will be baptized next Saturday. She
is amazing!!!
Sunday: 4
investigators at church. Which is sometimes hard to get people to come to
church and to remember to wake up. But we were able to get 5 investigators at
church!!! And 6 recent converts. This is sometimes hard to help recent converts
understand the importance of coming to church. To help them develop a habit of
coming to church and partaking of the sacrament. To help them understand why we
come to church.
Sunday night Xu Jiemei got baptized. Her son baptized her,
which was really awesome. Right now he is in the army so he had this one day
off, so he was able to come to Nanzi and baptize his mom. She was so excited
and the spirit was so strong. She is really nice and loves everything, and
loves taking care of little kids. A lot of people came and supported her. Our recent
convert gave the opening prayer, even though she was really nervous she did a
great job. We are here to help as many people as possible to have the
opportunity to follow Jesus Christ and receive salvation through him, his
teachings and his gospel.
