Monday was awesome! We went to Atlantis! Sister Ballard got us in for free! I have tons of pictures that I will send too so don't worry, you will see how awesome my mission is😎
Tuesday was America's Birthday!!🙌🏼🎉🎇#Merica And it was packed with lessons and none of them fell through! Started off the day with seeing Paulette. We had a lesson on the god head because she asked a few questions on that, talked about the importance of the Book of Mormon, and also about the Spirit and how he talks to us. It was a great lesson! We took Brothere Eyers with us and they we just awesome together. Brother Eyers shared his testimony on the Book of Mormon and it make Paulette tear up and almost cry. The Spirit was so strong in that lesson. Went to see Devonee to see if she has been reading and praying. Devonee, we think, is not all the way there mentally so we are taking it slow with her because if she isn't all there, we don't want to be responsible for her Judgement day so we are taking it slow with her.
Wednesday most of our day fell through so we did a lot of contacting. Nothing too exciting.
Thursday we had a drop lesson with Devonee because she isn't showing an interest in becoming a member. Just learning more of the Church off of YouTube. Not a good source... went and saw Demitri who is slowly trying to get his mother to let him be baptized. Some lessons fell through again. But we did get to see Sandra! We taught her part of the Plan of Salvation! It was a very good short lesson. Very spiritual.
Friday was weekly planning like always. We saw Yorick who had been out of Nassau for a while. Kind of just followed up with his reading and things like that. We set home on a soft baptismal date so we are hoping that he will start to take things a little bit more seriously. Later that evening we had pizza with sister Charlene and man is she funny!! I love her attitude about every thing! Then we went to see Sandra again! Finished the Plan of Salvation then started to introduce her kids to the lessons!
Saturday I went on a trade off with Elder Mitchell Christensen. We went to go do service for Sister Reed, cleaned the baptismal font, and went contacting for a little bit before dinner with a member. Afterwards, we went to the baptism. The Elder Christensen's (both of their last names are Christensen) had a baptism. After the baptism Elder Greenwade and I went to see Sandra again.
Sunday Sandra and her kids, Paulette, and Maria and her daughter came to church! Paulette brought up baptism to Elder Greenwade so we are, hopefully, going to be talking to here about that today! Went to the branch President's house for his Birthday party, then went to see Captain Ron! Aka Brother Piere! He is a tour guide and is just awesome! I love talking with him because we can turn any conversation into something spiritual. And he loves us coming over too. It helps him with his missionary work as a member!
One thing that I have realized since being on my mission is that no matter what the members are doing out here, they will drop everything for the Church. Yeah some of them can't really do that but a lot of them do. Do we do that? Do we put the Church first in every situation? Or do we let worldly things run our lives up until Sunday? I challenge EVERY ONE WHO READS THIS to put the Church first for a month and see how much happier you will be. If you are falling behind in your calling, use this time to catch up! If a member calls you for help and asks you to do something, DO NOT reject them. Put them first. The Lord will see that. The Lord WILL bless you for that. I know this to be true. I, humbly, say these things in the name of our Beloved Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
I love you all!
