Life in Wapiti is awesome! Though it's a little weird. I am a district leader still, so there's that, but also my companion is the zone leader. THE zone leader. Usually there are two, but this area is super crazy, so there's one. So, on top of the busy stuff that I have to do as a District Leader, we are running around all day, every day, because of zone leader stuff to do. I've never been so exhausted! But I've also been having an awesome time here!
I haven't met a lot of the people we're teaching, but we do have a family we're teaching that are all progressing towards baptism! It's a family of eight! Though I've never met them. They had a lesson with them yesterday, but we are on exchanges right now, so I wasn't there.
Crazy miracle though, at church a guy randomly showed up and pretty much said he wants to get baptized! His parents have been meeting with the missionaries recently, and they told him about how they are planning on being baptized and then getting sealed as a family.
So he asked us questions about what being sealed as a family means. We talked for a while, and he pretty much said that he's ready to start his own journey towards baptism. WOO!
One final thought,
My Grandma passed away recently and I'd like to ask you guys to pray for my Grandpa.
Have a good week! Keep yer stick on the ice.
December 4, 2018
Crazy miracles happened this week. The guy I talked about last week that showed up at church, it turns out that after our meeting with him on Sunday, he started reading the Book of Mormon. He finished it on last Tuesday! We met with him that night and have met with him all week. He came to church again, and he's getting baptized on December 15th! We are the greatest friends; he is awesome.
The other family we're working with, I've seen them twice but haven't been able to teach them yet.
Elder W: They are awesome. They asked some really good questions about prophets and why we need them and what they do and how we know who will be the next prophet. Their teenage kids who were not happy to be there previously opened up and asked a lot of really good questions and were interested in what was going on. The mom asked about testimonies and why we share testimonies (she was at a testimony meeting) and they are really awesome--I would mistake them for a member family 9 out of 10 times.
They are on date for the 28th of December to be baptized. It's exciting!
One last thing: I have stumbled upon a Ukeleli and I'm learning to play! I don't know any Christmas songs, but I have a kazoo. Merry Christmas y'all!
