Well hello family!!
As I have expressed to Emily/ Sister Conrad that it has
been a very fun week as I have been checking the time and realizing all the
important and exciting events happening back home. I get a kick when I check
the time and realize Emily is probably waking up, studying, or teaching lessons
in the MTC. Makes it fun to remember that not too long ago the same
experiences were happening to me! It is a blessing to know the family is
doing well and is happy. :)
This has been a pretty great week! We started off the week
going on an exchange where I went to Elder Aldridge's area and spent the day
with him. It went pretty well, we found a new investigator and taught him the
first lesson. Even among the distractions of the setting he like totally told
us he believed what we were saying was true and he would read the Book of
Mormon.
We also taught one of their investigators who has a baptismal
date and really focused on him reading the Book of Mormon. Basically that is
what we are focusing on, the power of the Book of Mormon in conversion and
how it is the keystone of our religion.
Later in the week we had our zone training and President
Berrett came to Coimbatore to have his quarterly interviews with us. Which went
really well. President Berrett really wants us to work on
finding investigators since the whole mission is struggling right
now. After this transfer I will be the senior missionary in the Coimbatore zone
so that was weird to realize i need to the example.
We had a couple really good lessons, one was with Raja. We
meet him in church and he has really been struggling with outside influences
talking bad about our church. We expressed our love and concern for him and
read a couple scriptures about trials and faith. I bore my testimony on us not
understanding what God has in store for us but trusting in Him and His eternal
plan for his children. The Spirit was probably the strongest I have felt so far
on my mission. I was super glad and peaceful the rest of the day.
For Sunday we had district conference and had President
Berrett Elder Wu from the Seventy come and talk to us on family history. We had
6 investigators at church! a big jump from last week! Pretty much most of our
solid investigators came.
Sorry this is so short, this next 2 weeks will be pretty
strange. We are having many exchanges and switches with other elders due to our
zone leader needing surgery in Bangalore so we will not be in our area as much
as we would like.
And then Elder Monk goes to the Philippines next Monday!
crazy, a lot of things are going to change.
Love you family!! So many blessings are happening right now
with our family. its awesome.
Have a great week!
-Elder Conrad
The Dynamic duo are unleashed ;)
