This was another great week! I'm excited to be
staying with Elder Pierre-Louis for another 6 weeks! . I know I am not
the easiest to get along with so I need to exercise patience with
whatever faults that he may have. and I know I can keep going and
continue to do good work! Through the Lord we can do all things and I
read this scripture "Oh lord, I am yet strong. Give me one more
mountain" Joshua 14:11-12. I know I can do anything if I put my mind to
it. I don't need to fear, and no one does. We have been given the power
to do anything the lord needs us to and in that way we are all 'yet
strong'.
Things are going well with the ward. We are finally able to see fruit from our work this last transfer! We got a new investigator, Anthony. His mom is a returning less active member and she seems to be doing really well with getting back! We had a lesson with them on Friday and it went great! We brought McKay, a priest in the ward, to the lesson and it was so great! McKay is 16 and Anthony is 13 but they are interested in the same things so Mckay did the same activities in middle school that Anthony is doing right now! the mom was so appreciative that we brought someone that he can connect to!
They came to church and it was such a surprise to see them there! I was so excited because the talks in sacrament meeting were on the lesson that we taught Anthony the week before! Anthony is 13 and he has a bunch of kids from school in his sunday school class and in deacons quorum! They both are making great friends in church and I am so excited for them! Anthony's mom even said, 'I feel at home here'! Just goes to show how fellowshipping works!
We have had some other great lessons with people that we met while trackting! We are getting some great potential investigators and the work is finally progressing!

Oh man! Sacrament meeting brought
back memories of being stressed out while passing the sacrament. They
were starting to run out of cups because three babies were being blessed
that day ( a lot of extra people in the ward). so they would switch
trays and fidget around a lot to try and get everyone. They did a great
job and did all that they knew how...but then it came to the point that
they totally ran out of cups and they didn't know what to do. they were
just standing in line and looking at each other. so I got up and talked
to them and said 'just walk up to the front and tell the priests that
you are out of water and they will make another one' so they all walked
up and stood in line and waited for them to make another one. it was
great! good memories.
Well I think that is all for this week! Love you all!
Love,
Elder John
