Winston was baptized! He gave me a mini heart attack when he was late for sacrament meeting the next day. The primary teachers love him! He bore his testimony at the baptism and it was so awesome! One of his teachers came up to us and said "the force is strong with this one" I so agree! He will be an amazing full time missionary. He is already getting his friends and dad involved in the church. His dad a couple days ago actually said that he would also like to be baptized! Whoot!
As
you can tell, I am super excited. Other things that happened this week
is we are tracting my knuckles off. I have literally built up a callus
on my knuckles. We find new investigators very well here talking to
everyone and knocking on doors. We have recently been having lots of
success through recent converts and that is always awesome. One of the
doors that we knocked into was a college apartment. Meaning that there
was three college students there. They are all studying theology and it
was kind of a bash in a way during the lesson. The next time that we met
with them they had done their "research" we get into the lesson and
then the real truth comes out. They can't believe the book of Mormon to
be true because there isn't any physical evidence of it. Then they
proceed to try and tare my testimony down and the other funny thing was
that they believed in the trinity, which blew my mind. I was going to
scriptural bash with them but I knew that wouldn't help anything so I
decided to bare my testimony on the Book of Mormon. To be honest, I
couldn't tell if it was the spirit or adrenaline or even both coursing
through my veins. They got quite and even scared after I finished with
my testimony. Then they say that I have so much faith in this one thing
that it scares them because I am like an Islamic radicalist. I was
pretty caught off guard about that but they accepted to read the Book of
Mormon so I am not even mad.
There is your
story for the day. Got to love the good ol bible belt! I got interviews
this week and it is my last one before my departing interview... I am
losing my mind! I will not give up though, got to hit that goal of
baptizing monthly! Anyways, I love y'all and have a blessed week!
Love,
ElderQ
