This is LAST week's email- 3/17/14
Hey
everyone! How have your weeks been? This week was pretty awesome!
Saturday was the best! Because of the baptism of course but also
because we had a really spiritual experience. So during Zone Training
they introduced a new teaching method that President Hanks wants us to
use. It allows us to teach the restoration in only 7 minutes using
pictures in the pamphlet. I honestly didn't know how I felt about it
because it feels like you are just skimming through everything and I
didn't think that teaching like that would bring the spirit in as much.
Well we went to visit Gary on Saturday and we ended up talking to his
neighbor (whose name is also Gary). I felt a prompting that this would
be a great chance to use the new method so I asked him if we could share
a really quick message with him. After we flew through the first
lesson he was crying and we all felt the spirit really strong. He was
so happy because he said he hadn't felt the spirit is months and thought
he had done something wrong. It was amazing. We set up an appointment
with him for tomorrow and maybe we can invite him to baptism!
Well Saturday night was the baptism! It was a little stressful
because the Staffords were an hour late, but we finally got them
baptized! Their sister who was baptized with her husband in 2010 gave a
talk and told us the story of how their family was reunited and how
happy she was that Tessa and Marissa made this decision. I'm really
thankful that I was able to be a part of blessing their family.
.....They did show up really late to sacrament meeting though so
they are going to have to be confirmed next week. I'm pretty sad about
that. We are going to visit them a lot this week though and make sure
they get to church ON TIME!!
Well that was my week! Love you all!
Elder Whetten
