after Preparation Day we were able to have a great lesson with Mxxx Dxxxxxx again and he really wanted to read through the pamphlet we got because he seems to learn best when he reads things. We had a really good lesson with him and he wanted us to come back.
Elder Kauffman and i had an interesting meeting with this man Jxxxxx who claims to have a third eye that has been broken. meaning he used to be able to see visions. it was interesting but he wants to learn about the gospel so we are gonna still try and teach him and help him come unto Christ.
On Thursday i was able to work with Elder Faulkner who is my zone leader which was good and fun. we really had a good day and had a good lesson on light and darkness with a former investigator and a less active member.
we had appointments fall through on Friday but we still had a good day with finding new people that were really nice and i have good hopes for.
We had another lesson about the Plan of Salvation and we didnt get to finish it. it was a little rough because he read through the pamphlet in front of us and i dont think he understood everything he read but we are going to go back and try to explain everything more and make everything connect for him.
We also taught our progressing investigators Jomong and Clark the lesson one and the word of wisdom but they have come to church in two weeks. it almost might be hard because Elder and i need to go back and try to help the parent's testimonies strengthen. so Jomong and Clark can get over to church.
the Noveda family is a family we might want to start focusing on but they arent married yet but we had a good lesson when teaching them about the Restoration and we are going to plan on helping them start to make little committments so they can more easily make bigger committments.
I also gave a workshop on wednesday that was really good and brought the Spirit. I really wanted to focus on the missionaries. as a District leader i am called to help the district and serve them and give them ideas or inspire them with what to do. Well I realize i am not the best teacher or at finding or at a lot of things hahaha but what i do know is i strive really hard to do the right always. i strive to be obedient and diligent and these things are what convert us and i know that i have been greatly converted on the mission by the spirit through my efforts and obedience so i gave a workshop which focused on them doing everything they can to be converted focusing on D&C 18: 15-16
15 And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!
16 And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!
I called it, based on inspiration from a wonderful letter i read from another missionary, "That One Soul is Yours" the Spirit was strong and we really do need to remember to always continually be converted unto Christ and to build that conversion. Although i sometimes feel weak as a leader for not being the best, i really felt magnified by my calling by God. I really love this calling and i love being a missionary no matter how hard it may be! i love you all! and i hope you all strive to do your best to be converted and align your with Christ's life more and more everyday! and i know that will bring blessings and i say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Elder Wright
