Hello everybody!!!
I bring you glad tidings of great joy! IT'S
CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!! sorry, got a bit excited....
Well this week has been a week full of finding! Again we
have had an unsuccessful week of getting in contact with any of our
investigators. They have all been busy and cancelled appointments or we just
haven't been able to get in contact with them. Nothing better then finding in
the rain.
We did get two new investigators this week which was good.
One of them is Betty, we met her on the street last week, she is from Ghana and
she has friends that are members of the church, which is cool. We actually got
to teach her this week which was really good. We aren't able to see her again
until the new year, but hopefully we can see her again.
The other his name is Elliot, he was a guy we found
knocking.
So, on tuesday I got to go to the Temple which was
amazing!!! I love being at the temple, the spirit was so strong there and it
was great to be there with so many missionaries as well! The temple was almost
bursting at the seems from the amount of missionaries that were there. It was
great, and they had the nativity set up at the visitors centre which I was so
happy to see. And after going through for a session, they gave us a really good
lunch too! (There was this really nice carrot cake that was so good, I wanted
some more, but they didn't let me). It was good though, and coming back on the
train with all my packages during rush hour was interesting but it was all
good.
On thursday, we went on exchange with our Zone Leaders,
which was good. Elder Tidwell got to go with Elder Holmes in the car which I
was a little jealous about, but it was good. I learned a lot from the other
Zone Leader Elder Popa so it was a good exchange and we worked hard.
Well sunday at church was good. Everybody else was teaching
the lessons this time, so we got to relax! (Ha! if there is such a word!) We
did have the opportunity to sing with the ward choir which was good. Pretty
much us 4 missionaries made up 80% of the men's side of the choir. It went well
though, and sounded good.
Also, yesterday, our ward had a baptism from the other
missionaries. It is a bit of a miracle story. Basically, about two weeks ago
they received this referral, her name is Shabnam. They got in contact with her,
and she asked if she could get baptized before Christmas. Turns out she had a
friend in Spain who was a member who was sharing the gospel with her, and then
she was chatting online with missionaries in the visitors centre. She got baptized
on sunday after church and she will be confirmed next week. I know it wasn't
our baptism, and we had nothign to do with the teaching, but it is always great
to see another one of God's children enter the waters of baptism.
So pretty much, that has been my week. Well, moves was meant
to fall on Christmas, but they have moved it to next week now, but I still
don't think anyone will be moving. I'll let you know though as soon as I
know.
Well I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!!!
Lot of Love
Elder Zach Mitchell
