Tuesday we did a lot of prearranging for the new elders that will be coming into Mankato and living with us and ya it was good. Wednesday there was a Worldwide Missionary Training Broadcast so all the missionaries who were awake anywhere in the world were watching it. It was way good. The theme was teach repentance and baptize converts! It was amazing it was lots of great talks and training from apostles, seventies and Sister Oscarson it was great. Ya and then the new elders got here that night and starting Thursday I went around with one of the new elders to show him the area so that was good. We taught every one he needed to meet and we did stuff to get to know the area better so we did that from Wednesday to Saturday. On Saturday we played soccer and we had 16 people there and 6 were nonmembers so that was good! It was fun.
Sunday was great President and Sister Forbes came to our ward and they were in Ward Council and they also talked in sacrament meeting and they gave great talks. It was way awesome! They are great I love them both they always give great talks and training they are definitely called by God to b over this mission for a reason! but ya then I was actually with my companion Sunday and we found another new investigator and that was cool! and we are on bikes this week so we were biking around and we went tracting and got into a few apt complexes with some people and this lady had some nuts kids like nuts! but it was good night and then we were starting to bike to the other side of town when the other elders called us and one of the sister wanted a blessing at the church. So we quickly biked down the hill to meet the other elders and they picked us up and one sister, Sis Scholl fell at soccer and I didn't know then, but she hurt her arm and it might be broken so ya I gave her a blessing and then we went home for the evening, but it was good week! but about becoming like Alma President Forbes has talked about becoming like Alma the younger lately because where ever he went he testified of the gospel of Jesus Christ whether he was with a less active or with active members of the Church of Christ and so that is how we can have success by teaching everyone not just people whose testimony isn't there or are struggling, but teaching active members it was promised by a General Authority that if your family has the Elders over to teach you the discussions that by the second one you will have someone in your mind that you know you can and need to share it with and so that is what we are going to start doing filling our time with active member lessons and getting referrals so that we can teach repentance and baptize converts I am excited to become more like Alma the younger but his example can apply to more than just us full time missionaries it apply to members. We should always be testifying and talking about the Gospel of Jesus Christ where ever we go. We can become the Amulek who was just a member in that city. We can help the full time missionaries by also sharing our testimony with those they teach and then as we go through our day not being afraid to talk to people about the gospel of Christ and not be afraid to share our testimony with them! So I invite you all to share your testimony with one person this week I promise it will make your week a better week and strengthen your testimony. I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I know it is true and that we need to to do our best to spread it all the days of our lives how ever we can best do that. I love this work. I love this gospel! Well that is all for this week.
Have a great week
love
Elder Howe
