Hello there!
First full week of the transfer and we were able to get some great contacts! Didn't have many lessons set up quite yet, but we met some cool people like a guy, A, who's looking to find some change in his life. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the best way to invite positive change in your life, of course!
We also had MLC this past week, where we talked about some great topics of improvement for the mission. We as the Social Media Coordinators gave a training about more effective and focused Facebook missionary work. Even though the summer is here and it's the perfect time to meet people on the streets, we don't want everyone to forget what the Lord taught us in the past two years of COVID.
Another cool topic was family history, how it works as a great retention tool for recent converts, and also how it can be used for finding people. It was cool, cause on the way back from MLC, Elder Lee stopped somebody and asked if they knew much about their family history. It started up a great conversation and we were able to get their number, so the Lord definitely rewards faith.
Speaking of family history, I'm stuck in the book of Chronicles recently. It's been quite a drag, except for one little verse that's a good gem:
1 Chronicles 4:10 - "And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldst keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested."
I testify the Lord is always willing to intervene in our lives for the better if we're willing to let him!
Sincerely,
Elder Brown the Elder
