Wednesday: We had our
first district meeting of the transfer, it was a really good meeting. We talked
a lot about discipleship. There is a lot going on now a day and following
Christ and his teachings aren’t as important as they should be for people. With
the saviors atonement we can do all things because he has walked that lonely
path for us, he knows us and our trails. If we look to him in all we do we will
find happiness in this life. As I’ve come on my mission not knowing what I was
getting myself into I have come to know my savior a little more. I know that we
have a loving Heavenly Father who sent his only begotten son for us so we can
be forgiven of our sins. We all have feelings of guilt and shame and these
cannot be relived without the atonement of Christ. If we allow it to, the
Atonement of Christ will change our whole lives.
Thursday: We had a zone
expectations meeting in the afternoon to go over the things that are expected
of us for the transfer and I am really excited to see what this transfer has in
store for Elder Sherman and I. At night we taught an active family in the 11th
Ward the Davis’s. After that we were supposed to have visits set up with one of
our ward mission leaders but he was asleep when we went by. He got up and
talked with us and we came up with some plans on how we can move the work
forward in his ward.
Friday: We had our usual
lunch Correlation meeting with our senior missionary couple the Graham’s. They
set up an appointment for us to go by and teach a family with an Unbaptized kid
on Sunday! After that we went and got a feel for what the Elders and Sisters in
our district have envisioned for this transfer and made a vision, goal, and
plan so we can help them be more efficient in their work. It helps to have a
vision of what your success could be and then to set reasonable goals to make
you strive to work hard to achieve them, and course we need to have plans to
accomplish them.
Saturday: We had a lesson
with one of our investigators Tiana. We followed up on the Book of Mormon
reading and she had read but not as much as we thought. So we began to read a
few chapters with her and help answer questions she had and it went really well
and she wants to be better at reading and praying so we will be sending her
some scripture text every day for a friendly reminder. We stopped by a
potential investigators house who we could never get in contact with and they
were home! They were about to head to a Halloween party but they told us that
they want to meet with us and Monday or Tuesdays are best so we will be going
by then!
Sunday: We went to the
10th Ward in the morning and then went to primary to see if the girl we were
teaching later that day came and sadly she wasn’t there, but at 2 we had our
lesson and they were “sick” at church and went home but we’re perfectly fine for
our lesson haha! The mom started it off by talking about baptism and how Karly
is going to be baptized! So we taught them about the gospel of Jesus Christ and
she accepted to be baptized on November 4th!!! After that we went to two more
hours of primary in the 2nd Ward since we will be teaching in a few weeks. We
ended the night by informing the leadership of the ward about Karly wanting to
be baptized on Nov 4th. It was a great way to end the week!
Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Aaron Ashby
