Dear Family,
Dear Family,
Well folks everyone´s been saying it for a long time now
and I´ve been denying it until about 15 minutes ago. I´m gonna train
this next transfer. President Douglas called me to tell me. It´s a
little bit of a shock. I´ve known for a long time that I would train and
President has always kinda teased me with it by calling me out in
meetings about a year ago when he was talking about the huge flux of
missionaries that is happening. so here we are. In a week I´ll have yet
another companion and he´ll be a greenie hungry and thirsty to bring
souls unto Christ. It´s gonna be a cool experience.
Let me tell you about one of the few progressing
investigators we have here in Licey. His Ex Wife is a recent convert
and is what got him coming to church. My first impression of him was not
good seeing as how about a month ago he showed up drunk to lecture his ex wife for leaving him. So it was a big surprise to
see him show up at church a couple weeks later and he hasn´t missed
church since. He has some obvious issues with the word of wisdom but he
is very sincere and has since asked ex-wife and his daughter to forgive him. In the past he has spoken out against the church on
radio and t.v. so we are being really careful about everything but it
seems like he is truly changing. He has a baptismal date for the 30 of November
and it looks like I´ll be here seeing as how I´ll probably stay here to
train and generally you spend two transfers (3 months) training. It´s
been interesting to see nearly all doubts about this investigator disappear as we
have been guided by the spirit and have taught him. He has changed and
if he´s willing to make a drastic change in his life he will be baptized
on november 30.
