Hello there!
This was a super exciting week leading up to A's baptism! It was such a wonderful experience to see him make those special covenants and take these first steps on the covenant path! That was definitely the highlight of the week.
We are super excited for this transfer and for all the people we have lined up to teach.
For instance, we have a lesson soon with a super sweet family who we met because of a prompting to knock a specific door. We recently did a Bible study with them about the story of Naaman and why we follow prophets. We invited them to hear a message we have about modern prophets and they seemed super interested! There's a bit of a language barrier, so we'll need to pass them off to other Elders, but still so cool to find and start teaching them!
We also met with a friend named R. who lost contact with the missionaries as covid was starting. He is super down with meeting and hearing the lessons and learning more about the Book of Mormon. A super cool guy who really wants to keep his relationship with Christ strong.
B. came to church this Sunday! He loved it and we are super excited to be meeting with him again this week. I'm so thankful for all the people the Lord places into our lives!
Thanksgiving is coming up soon! We had a discussion recently with a member about the importance of prayer in our lives. Prayer is one of the many ways we show our gratitude to Heavenly Father. The thought and intent we put into our prayers truly reflects how much he means to us.
2 Nephi 32:9 - But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul.
Make sure to offer thanks to our Heavenly Father this week!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Elder Brown the elder
