This has been a week full of ups and downs but I am grateful for the experiences we have that help us to grow.
One of the positive experiences we had this week is that we were able to meet with our friend Alex again. We met with Alex last week and taught him the restoration. This time we taught him the plan of salvation and he again had such a sincere desire to learn and understand. We brought our ward mission leader along and he bore such a strong testimony of the importance of praying and coming to know for himself. Alex said that if he knows it is true he will be baptized! He is going to pray this week to ask if it is true.
We also had a success with a less active family we are working with. The last few times we had gone over to their house we had followed up with them about praying and reading and each time they said they hadn't. We weren't seeing much commitment from them so we weren't sure if we should continue to meet with them but we felt we should go over one more time. The lesson we had with them was so good! The Dad had read the first few chapters of the book of mormon and was trying hard to understand them. We were able to read a chapter from the book of mormon and show how the book of mormon clarifies and adds to the bible. I felt the spirit so strongly in their home and I know that the Lord was bringing to our minds scriptures and words to share that would help this family at this time. Both of them committed to read the book of mormon and pray about it this week.
Unfortunately, our friend Martin is no longer on date for the 24th of November. We are still working with him to be baptized but he needs a little bit more time to prepare. He is still willing to learn and follow Christ and he has felt the Spirit testify to him. We are excited to set another day for him to work towards.
This week we also have transfers. I will find out if I'm staying or leaving Gaerwen so that should be exciting.
