So my week here was pretty sweet. The weather has been cooling down and it has never felt so good here. Although we have been having a few cancelled appointments but what else is new.
So remember that family I told you about last week? We took the advice that was given to us from the ward council and it turned out much better than was anticipated. So the wife started the lesson by telling us where we left off(which was talking about baptism). So the whole lesson was all about addressing that concern. We used Acts 19:1-6 and the wife got right on board for getting re-baptized. The husband still had hesitancy. We said that if he were to be baptized again he would be able to hold the priesthood and be able to call down protection and angels from heaven for his family. That got the wife pretty teary eyed caused she had dreams about how God would be using her husband. The husband was definitely softened by that lesson. Then on Sunday they all came to church, kids and all. The wife stayed in the primary the whole time with the youngest son cause he didn't want to be alone. But the husband stayed with us the entire time. After all three hours the husband said to us "I really enjoyed it, we will be back next week". He is progressing so well. And what made that day even better was that the lessons in Sunday school and in priesthood were about how families can be eternal and we got him a proclamation to the family.
We picked up another family as well this week. They aren't married and the woman has a son and the man has 2 daughters and a son. The woman is a less active member and her son was baptized a few months ago. We asked the husband why he was interested in the church and he told us that he was bored with the catholic church and that it was too repetitious, it was the same thing over and over again. We asked the oldest daughter(who is 13) if she liked going to church and she said no. That whole family came to church as well and we asked that daughter how she felt about church and she said "this is much better than my other church!"
We have been so blessed with prepared people lately it has been so awesome! We have been so busy its not even funny. So that was pretty much the exciting things for this week. President Collins emailed me and told me that he knows of my skills and talents and that he will be utilizing me. He will just have to wait till next transfer. We are going to be having president interviews tomorrow. We will be going on exchanges with the assistants on friday. We have a zone conference next week and Elder Lynn G. Robbins of the seventy will be joining us. We are just going to have a crazy few weeks ahead of us. I will tell you all about it when it happens.
Love,
Elder Robertson
