This past week was a dang good week we had a ton of success. Ya! on Monday we had dinner at the Bair's house like we usually do and then we went and saw a less active. Tuesday was a great day we taught 5 lessons on Tuesday. It was great! We saw a less active lady and then we had an appt with a new investigator named David Packer we picked up last week and he brought one of his friends so that was awesome to see! So we taught both of them and picked up his friend as an investigator! So that was great then we had dinner and that was good and then we went and stopped by out investigator Fabrice and we taught him and then we went to a town called St Peter to try and contact a referral and we did and taught him and picked him up and then we stopped by a less active and taught him and that was great. So it was a great day!
Wednesday we had our district meeting and then we taught a less active lady with the sisters and then went out and we tried the person who had told us to come back before and we taught her husband and picked them up as new investigators so that was cool! Then we did some more stuff and taught another less active and then we taught a less active and went tracting and we showed the video to some more people and then we went and played basketball! On Thursday we went to exchange with some elders and that went well we were in a town called Fairbault pronounced Fairbough, but it was good we did alot of good work and I interviewed their investigator for baptism so that was great! It was super cool! and ya it was great.
Then Friday we went to their District meeting and then we came home and had weekly planning time. Then we went to see a less active and had dinner with them it was good and then our appts fell through so we were doing some finding and stopbys and we were trying to see this former investigator and we showed it to this kid named Wren, a 16 year old foster kid who is kinda bouncing around from home to home, and we taught him and picked him up to teach. He used to date a member of the church so he knows a little, but I feel like he has alot of potential! Saturday was good we taught 3 more lessons so that was great! and we did some finding, but it was good
Sunday was a great day it was the Christmas program and so all sorts of musical numbers while someone was kinda reading the Christmas story and I was in 3 musical numbers one with all the men and then 2 with the ward choir. It was good it is great to get really involved with the ward you are in. I feel like I have done that here! It was good. After church we did some tracting and it was a cold street none one really interested, but it was good and then we went and we saw this family where the dad is a Prospective Elder and it was good. After that we had an appt set up with a guy we met on Wednesday that week named Bernard and we showed up and he was there and ready. We taught the Restoration and he loved it all. He said he has felt like there has been holes in church his whole life and he was really open to the truth and said it is super possible we have the truth so that is awesome. He is super prepared and he is from Ghana and I love teaching Africans they are super prepared people and they seem to progress fast, but he seems super legit! He was great it was a great lesson and we got a return appt on Christmas at 8 o clock at night, but we had a great week. I haven't had a week that good in a while it was awesome our teaching pool is growing the work is progressing it is great and i have been learning so much in my studies lately. I read this scripture today that i really liked!
in Mosiah 8:18,
18 Thus God has provided a means that man, through faith, might work mighty miracles; therefore he becometh a great benefit to his fellow beings.
God is making it possible so we can do miracles all of us we just have to have the faith and it will happen I love this I hope that everyone has a Merry Christmas. I hope that we slow it down and focus on why we celebrate Christmas and take a little time on Christmas day to ponder and reflect why we need our Savior and what he has done for us because he does so much and we need to thank him. So after you ponder what he has done pray and thank him for all he and our father have done. For you prayers of thanks are very powerful. I have done it a number of times and it has been great. I try to do it at least once a week!
Merry Christmas everybody
God bless
love ,
Elder Howe
