Had the opportunity to go on exchanges with Elder Parry (MTC
BUDDY!!) and Elder Burton. And Elder Jensen and Elder Burton found a knocked
into investigator!!! They came back for lunch all excited that they knocked on a
door and were let in and taught the Restoration with a return appointment!
Things are looking great on finding people in Viborg.
Now a bit of a bummer part of the week was our appointment with couple
last Saturday. The boyfriend
started asking about Baptisms for the Dead because he was asked about it from a
friend. After answering his question we asked his girlfriend about baptism.
Unfortunately, she responded that she feels like it's a huge commitment. She
wants to be able to go into it 100%. Wants to completely give up drinking and
partying with her friends, even though she's told us in the past she'll be
willing to give that up. Than she also added that she and her boyfriend are not
ready to get married just yet. Told us that she doesn't anticipate on being
baptized right now. But that is part of Missionary work!!! All we can do is
invite others to come unto Christ!! It's there decision in the long run. They
are still so awesome and we look forward to continue teaching them!! It's the
promise the Alma taught his son Helaman, ''By small and simple means are great
things brought to pass''.
So it was a little bit of a sad experience to see but Elder Jensen and I
agreed that the time is just not now. We shared #BecauseHelives video (Which I
recommend to everyone) with them last time and invited them to bring questions
to General Conference that could help them come closer to Christ. Hopefully we
will be able to watch the first session Saturday night with them. But we'll keep hoping and praying
for them.
That's been the highlight of the week actually. Been really busy with some
service projects and finding awesome people to teach! Hope everyone checks out
the #Helives video! It's amazing! Have a great week!
