The NLR Area is on FIRE!!! We have had so much success this last week. The members are really starting to support us, people being taught are coming out of the woodwork, and our positivity is very high. We have 4 baptisms schedule for this saturday, and we are looking at having 10 baptisms in December! Isn't that great! We have two families and a couple individuals set for baptism, and it's so incredible. We believe that all this good is coming because of the concecration of the mission as a whole. It's incredible to see this.
I'm very grateful that Elder Patterson and I are staying together for another transfer. We both have high love, and are working on keeping our expectations high so that we can continue to see the miracles.
So this last Sunday was miracle central here in NLR. We had 6 people come to church! 3 of which were formally taught, so we were able to pick them back up as people being taught. We also set 2 baptismal dates! One with a young man. I talked with him and introduced myself to him during priesthood meeting and asked him what he was expecting from coming to church, and he said "Well, I just really want to be baptized." I was like well, we can definetly help with that!!! After talking for a while we set a date for the 15th of December!
After church we had the opportunity to use the knowledge we gained at LTM and had a wonderful Church tour with the Dad of a family of 3 that we met on Saturday. The father is a wonderful man with a heart of gold. He is so humble and wants to be a family man and to center his family on Christ. We taught him the restoration as we went throughout the church. When we were at the baptismal font, we asked him how he felt, and he said I feel the chills, but good chills. It was so incredible!!! He has a sweet little wife and a 9 year old son named Wilbirn the 3rd. We were able to set their baptismal date for the 15th of December and will set dates with his whole family this week!
Miracles upon Miracles, Upon Tender Mercies!!! God is so Good.
This week I have spent a lot of time working on the Jesus Christ Topical Guide study, and have focused on the fact that Jesus is Jehovah, and the head of his church. I loved the statements where he said that this is His church. I loved reading through Doctrine and Covenants 115:4 which said "For thus shall my church be called in the last days, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." This reminded me of the most recent talk from President Nelson. There is such power in the name of the Lord's church. That really stood out to me
