Well Dad,
They canceled the meeting because they wanted to do it after
transfers. Five zone leaders are going home this next little bit so they
decided it would be better to do after.
Well dad, I took your advice and thought a lot about
fasting. I decided that I couldn’t wait until Saturday to fast so I did it on Wednesday. The next day the AP s showed up at our house
to do a surprise division with us. I was pretty tanked but excited to see that
the Lord had answered my prayers. At the
end of the division one of the APs talked with me for a while and it felt god to
be able to talk about things here and get a lot of feelings off of my chest. I
realized that I had been pretty unexcited about the work here and it had been
hurting the progress but I did another division with the elders here and it
felt really good. I talked with everyone and their dog on the streets and I
think some of them will be some great investigators.
I don’t really know what to think dad, I am
so glad for the trials that I have had because they are really pushing me to the
limits and I am seeing my spirituality and dedication increasing. This Sunday,
in our small little branch we have an average of 80 people, but we brought five
investigators to church and the other companionship brought seven. There were
over 110 people at church. It was quite a site and the leadership of the ward
got really emotional. We haven’t had any baptisms here unfortunately but we
have had some good success in the other aspects.
I am sorry I don’t
really have much time to email today, we are going to another city to visit
with a member and have a bbq. I kept
thinking a lot about your email that you sent this week. It has helped me a lot
Dad. Thanks for pushing me to be better and for all of your love. I miss you
tons and love you even more. Have a great week and be so safe.
Elder Paynter
