This week was pretty great! Because of some errands that
Elder Moli and I had to run we were able to have the car for a few days which
was really nice to help us reach the outer part of our area!
On Tuesday we had a great district meeting by Elder Woodruff
talking about member work and how we can improve on our member work. Then we
had a meeting with the Mehrs talking about language study for those learning
English! The mission is supplying all the missionaries with a work book that
can help them learn English faster that is put out by the church, so that
should be a huge help when trying to help Elder Moli learn English! But on
Tuesday we had a kick butt lesson with our investigator Philippe about the
Atonement. He really loves and has a lot of faith in Jesus Christ, so it is
great to talk about and discuss a common belief that we have and then to share
with him about the Plan of Salvation and how he can more fully apply the
Atonement in his life! It was sweet!
On Wednesday we were able to go to a birthday party for this
older member in the branch. She had some awesome food and we met a bunch of her
friends from around the neighborhood and got to talk about the church and the
Book of Mormon with them! It was way cool! Then we had a sweet lesson with a young
woman named Rashida about the Book of Mormon. I think she is interested, we are
going to see her this weekend again so we will find out more.
On Thursday we weekly planned and had a lesson with a woman
named Valerie which went really well. Then we actually had to leave and catch a
bus to the Oistins sisters area to go and pick up their car because we needed
to borrow it the following morning. But that night we had a pretty successful
branch council talking about some of the less active members that we could go
visit!
Then the next morning we woke up early and drove all the way
out to St. Phillip to pick up some elders to take them down to the immigration
office to get them legal then drove them back to the senior couples apartment,
Then we drove all the way back out to Black Rock to pick up those elders and
drove back to Oistins to get them their driving permit and drove them all the
way home and by the time we got all the way home we were able to have an
awesome lesson with our investigator named Heather! It was super cool, we
talked about the restoration and prophets! It was sweet!
On Saturday we had a full morning of regular studies and for
Elder Moli's language study we went out and just started talking to people!
He's a great teacher and knows English really well! Just needs some refining,
as does mine... haha Then we had an awesome lesson with a woman named Maria who
asked us about where we come from and why we're here, so we had a really
awesome lesson about our purpose here in this life. It was awesome! That night
we went to a training by President and Sister Mehr which was really awesome
talking about working in unison with our councils and then watched "Meet
the Mormons" Which was amazing! It was so cool to see!
Sunday we had regular church with President and Sister Mehr
there. and had an awesome lesson with one of our investigators named Wendy and
a bunch of her friends! It was sweet! They asked a bunch of questions about the
Book of Mormon and were really excited about it!
Yesterday we had to wake up a little early to go all the way
to St. Phillip to pick up the missionaries flying in from Grenada for Zone
Conference, and then drive all the way out to pick up Elder Woodruff and elder
Ort to get to zone conference right on time! The focus of the conference was
focusing on our member efforts and how they can improve! It was really great to
hear and we are going to take a lot of what we learned and apply it to our area
in the coming weeks!
This week was jam packed! But so amazing!
Thanks for all you do for me!
Love you always!
Elder Dorrance
