Well
how’s everything going?? There are days
when it feels like the mission has gone by super-fast. But then there are days
when it feels like I have been out for years! But I have almost been out 6
months! I’m just happy I’m not the "new" missionary anymore! Lol
Everything is going good! It snowed here yesterday and we got
3-6 inches. Everyone here freaks out when it snows!
Well everything with the baptism went very well! Dakota
was baptized on her husband’s birthday and everything went smoothly! Then on
Sunday I got to confirm her in Sacrament! I have been pretty lucky, I have
gotten to confirm 4 out of 5 of all the people that I have helped be baptized. I’m
very blessed in that aspect. My first area on my mission has for sure been a
blessing to my life. I have learned a lot and it has shaped me on what kind of
missionary I want to be the rest of my mission. I have found what works
and what doesn’t!
This last week we actually found 4 new
investigators! It was a great finding week! The coolest one was a woman named Virginia
Dale. She was a referral from Church headquarters, and we went and knocked on
her door! She lets us in and she is there with her two 25 year old daughters.
One daughter is Pentecostal and the other is Southern Baptist. Virginia is a
super nice lady but is also Southern Baptist.. For now. ;) Anyways, we get
talking to Virginia and she starts to tell us everything that is going wrong in
her life. She tells us that she was done with everything and that it all seemed
to be crashing down at once. Her house burnt down and she lost everything. She
told us how she was praying and asking God to send her someone or something to
help her. Anything she said would help. And she was on the internet one day and
she said she didn’t even know how it happened, but our website popped up. So
she requested it and then we show up and she tells us that she knows God is
pointing her our way for a reason! So we told her we share a comforting message
about Jesus Christ and his Church. And she eagerly said.. Come back Tuesday and
tell me all about it!!
My week has been pretty good! I’m enjoying the area
and learning a lot! Thanks for everything you do for me and the prayers sent my
way! We will also be getting our phones at the end of this month. So I am super
excited for that!!
Well other than that nothing big has been going on out here in
the East! I’m starting to like the east coast more and more. Thanks for all you
do for me and the continual support I get from you. President always tells me
that he knows how much love and support I get from you all. And it’s a lot!!
Thank you! I have the best family to go home too
Well I hope you have a great week, Love ya!
Love, Elder Welling!
