Last Monday we went on exchanges and I went with Elder Alton from Texas, he just finished being trained this past week and it is always fun to go out with the new missionaries!
Tuesday we all met at the stake center for Zone Breakfast and listened to everyone get there Transfer calls! That was fun, my Boi and I will be staying together! That night we had dinner with the Fagerston’s, a super fun young couple that met at BYU. haha
Wednesday was P day and we all went and played DISC GOLF! There are a lot of great courses out here! We had a lot of fun, and at the beginning they said whoever loses has to buy the winner lunch. We got playing and I won! So I got a free lunch at Wendy's! haha Good thing too because I was broke! That night we had dinner with the Nelson’s, super good food! It's always fun going to dinner because most people invite all 4 of us Elders over, so that’s cool! After that we had Ward Coordination at the Church, which is always great! This land is truly blessed! The Missionary work here is amazing!
Thursday Morning we had a lesson with Chinyere and Julius, Chinyere was the only one that sat in on the lesson and she pretty much talked to us the whole time, all about how she doesn't like the way we teach, or tons of crazy stuff. Then she said "stop trying to convert me, I am already a member of your church" CRAZY, she was already baptized in 2002 apparently. We’re gonna try and find her records this week! She is so crazy! Anyways later that day we had a great lesson with Rosie at the Church and gave her a church tour and taught her the Law of Chastity! It was great! Right after that we had a lesson with Alexis and David on The Plan of Salvation! I was hesitant to extend a baptism date, but the spirit told me to, so I did and that’s when they brought up how he can't get baptized because their living with each other and not married, and that they plan to get married now in Dec. or Jan. instead of 2020! So that was a huge MIRACLE! Super excited for them! Right after that we had a lesson with Reggie and Mike, two excommunicated members that are so AWESOME! They got excommunicated a long time ago, not sure why but they're awesome and want to be re-baptized! Mike has to quit smoking tho, he texted us on Monday saying that he is wanting to start the Stop Smoking Workshop so he cut up and threw away all the cigarettes and some members gave him a blessing. We came over that night for dinner and helped them out with the Stop smoking workshop! But he ended up smoking on Friday, but he isn't worried, it's a work in process and he will get it!
Friday we had D meet and some lessons, then helped a really overweight Investigator move. We moved her entire apartment while she sat there in her lazy boy. When we told her we had to leave early she got mad at us! So that was fun! Then we went to 5 guys with Sis Krsek and afterwards gave her a blessing to help her with her health problems!
Saturday we balled hard core in the morning and it was soooo much fun! Then Weekly planned and went by tons of people to help them come to church!
Sunday we were able to see Alexis and David there and Rosie, and Joe Smith!!! We were so happy! And in Gospel Principles they taught the Law of Chastity! Perfect for Alexis and David! Joe Smith loved it and the Ward loved him, because he is sooo cool! Another amazing week here in Cedar Rapids/Marion! The work is amazing, I’m so excited for the people we are working with and to watch their lives change! The Gospel is so true! This week I got reminded over and over by the spirit that the spirit is the only way for someone to know of the truthfulness of this Gospel!
Have a good week!
Love,
Elder Anderson
Elder Alton and I
Saying good bye to Elder Spencer & Marshall. They just went home!
