We made it down the street again. Elder Ewing and I
are in Malanday and we are living the dream. We are working with the ward to
contact the people that were taught before specifically the ones that have been
to church, it is great because the Bishop knows almost all of the investigators
who have been to church over the last several months.
Since being in this
area:
·
We had 2 baptisms and
2 confirmations
o
Marvin and Russel
·
We have found a good
amount of the past investigators.
·
Mercy went to church
o
See below
·
We got a couple new
people in the zone.
·
We had a really good
sacrament meeting
o
This building has air conditioning
·
Our new area is pretty
big.
·
Got a new apartment
o
The lock is broken.
§
Please don’t break in.
·
New apartment is
bigger more room to pace.
So this week we got to church and we were greeting
all the people and we saw one member wave us over. He was sitting next to this
girl and he goes on to explain to us that the girl had just walked into church.
She didn’t know anyone. She had never met missionaries. And she didn’t know
anything about the church. Her name is Mercy, she told us about how she felt
like she needed to go to church in our building that day. She stayed the full 3
hours and we set an appointment to meet with her later today. She has a lot of
potential and really wants to learn more. We are very excited to teach her.
We are still working with our zone-mates to really
get going and focus on the work. I have noticed once you start to focus on
something (especially if it is the welfare of other people), most other
concerns seem to just disappear. Right now, as I focus on the work – not many
things get in the way. When my focus strays from the work, it becomes
impossible to work effectively. So many other things get in the way. The truth
is, we achieve whatever we focus on. Everything else will fall away and become
unimportant. That is the thing that we will get.
Find your goal, get focused, expect great things.
Love you all
Elder Faulkner
