Hey Family!
Well this week has been insane! Things
happened I never thought would/could happen but all in all it was another
awesome week! Here is a decent break down of the week!
So monday was just regular old monday.
Nothing to major. Just had dinner with a member and taught some lessons.
Tuesday was different. This week was zone conferences. Our zone was assigned to
the one on Wednesday, but we recieve car checks to make sure our cars are nice
and clean. Well Elder Niu (The man in charge of cars) asked us to help check
cars. So we helped majority of the day check cars! It was pretty fun! Then
Wednesday we had Zone Conference which was so awesome! We learned about working
with members, how to plan effectively, and not stereotyping someone. We also
talked a lot about faith! Faith is one of the most pivitol things in the
gospel. So simple to define, but yet so hard to but into action 100% of the
time.
My mission president challenged us all
to do something. He challenged us as a mission to read whole the
entire Book of Mormon by Christmas! So as a mission he asked us to read 10
pages a day from the Book of Mormon a day to do so. We did not have to start
over we could start from where we were.Then he asked us something else and this
is where you come in! He asked us to challenge our family and friends to do the
same thing. So family will you read the entire Book of Momormon from now till
Christmas? You can start from where you are at or just begin again! Hope you
will all do it! I know if you do it you will be blessed emensly! So you should
just do it!
Well Wednesday night was crazy. I met
some interesting people and had some interesting experiences. Needless to say
we went to the hospital 3 times this week to go see people from the ward. And
wednesday was one of the those nights. Thursday was just another thursday. Full
of knocking and service. Friday was weekly planning and then we went to Lewis
Center (An area in our zone) do an exchange. The exchange was fun. Saturday we
did some knocking in Lewis Center. Elder Campbell and I ran across a dog I want
to buy. It is called a Lindaburg! So cool!
Well up until Sunday we had no
sucess finding anyone to teach. Well finally Sunday night when I was about to
give up on knocking we ran into this lady. It was kind of awkward at first
becuase we went to knock at her door and she was behind us and had just been on
a walk with her daughter. Well we taught her about prophets and the Book of
Mormon. She said she has been wondering about prophets and why God would not
have one today and whey they would not continue to write down the word of God!
It was amazing! So we are having some members, the Bowmans, take over a Book of
Mormon. Well we ran to the Bowmans to give them her name, number, and address.
We found out that the Bowmans had been fasting for missionary opportunities! It
was so amazing!
Speaking of missionary opportunities and
missionary work. There is a member in our ward that is friends with Lucinda
(the girl we are teaching that is getting baptised this saturday) and she bore
her testimony about how happy she was to see her find the gospel. Then the
Thalmans (who we "set up for success" meaning we find someone to
bring a Book of Mormon too) bore a testimony about the experiecnce his wife and
him had when taking over the Book of Mormon. The ward is getting more pumped up
about missionary work!
Well I love yall! Hope you accept the
Book of Mormon challenge! Do some missionary work!
Love,
Elder Baird
