I Got To Go Down To VA Beach On Saturday And Baptize Alex

May 27, 2014



It is early morning seminary here, I’m glad I never had to do that. That's crazy to hear about your school, it’s a good thing that you didn't get sick. Have fun with you summer vacation!



Things are going good here, Elder Fullerton and I get along well. The ward is really great. We were supposed to have a lot of work this week and had a lot of lessons set up, but 95% of them had to cancel for various reasons. This week should be good and busy.



We watched the restoration video with our investigator Chris this week. We feel it really made an impact on him, he said he didn't remember the story of Joseph Smith from when the other elders taught him. We aren't sure if he understood everything that he was taught by the other missionaries, from the records they kept it sounds like they just blew through all the lessons and tried to get him baptized. That's frustrating for me to see, people don't understand the fact that people progress differently and you have to make sure they understand before they go on.  We are going to meet with him again this week and it should be a good lesson.



I got to go down to Virginia Beach on Saturday and baptize Alex. It was a super cool experience to see him finally take that step. He is a very humble man and is truly converted, he will do great things in the church. I also saw our miracle less active man from my last area, he is the assistant ward mission leader in the ward now. It is so cool to see people progress.



Within the next few weeks, we should have the area completely back to normal like nothing happened, the members are really trying to help us and we have taught a few of their friends already. It should be a good week.



Love ya,

Jordan
