Hello everyone! Sorry I'm catching ya'll this late, but things have been going super good lately despite the fact that we are still in quarantine! We had a lesson with James Walter's on Saturday in which we planned to teach him about the Gospel of Jesus christ, or the doctrine of Christ! Well we taught him about all of that, like faith, Repentance, and baptism as it's a part of that topic as well, so after that we wanted to pinpoint a day for him to be baptized... And he said next week!! We told him that there are other things we had to teach him like the word of wisdom, law of chastity, etc. and that he also needed an interview from another missionary. So he told us to teach him all of the remaining lessons right then and there, so we did! Haha! It went super well and he doesn't have a problem with any of it! As for the interview, he asked if we could get it set up for the next day, so we did and he got through it without any issues. He has already been to church many times before the COVID19 effect, and he'd read the book of mormon on occasion many times in the past. It is needless to say that he has been ready for along time, and now he fully wants to commit and wants it NOW! So unexpectedly, this week will be a week in preparation for his baptism and we are super excited!!
Well, being self isolated is getting pretty old! Me and my comp are trying our best to come up with things to do as we try to continue to work effectively! It's hard because normal missionary work feels way more productive and accomplished, but trying to do things this way has felt as we have decreased in productivity even though we try to do our best when we can! It's hard, but this will be something that I will look back on forever and I am super grateful to be a missionary at this particular time to experience all of these things! I know all things are done for our benefit, we may not see it that way especially with all of the pain and struggle that goes on, it is done in the wisdom of the one who knoweth all things, God himself! We will be stronger once this is all said and done! I've seen it as I go on day to day during this trial! I hope you all are experiencing that on your end!
I hope ya'll are doing well! I'm excited for another week of opportunity ahead of us! I love you all! Have an awesome week!
Love,
Elder Weese
