This week was fantastic and packed with
lots of things, hopefully you
will think that all of this was
exciting because for me it was.
We taught a number of people this week
from many different backgrounds
and histories. Duncan is an elderly man
in his 70/80's who is a bible
scholar but doesn't like to contend. He
just had a triple bypass heart
surgery and was walking around without
being sore 5 days later. He
said it was by the grace of God. I
agree. We taught about the
restoration of the gospel to him and he
understood all of it and had
bible verses memorized about it. It was
intersecting to teach another
person that is scripturally sound.
Then taught a new lady named Charlotte.
She is in her 80's and was
found by another elderly man of the
congregation who took flyers of
a joint concert of a Catholic Church
and a LDS Church. He invited his
neighbors to come when he found
Charlotte outside the house. She went with
them and then came to church 3 times
and now she wants us to teach
her. In the lesson she explained a
little more of her background where
she remembers going to the Salt Lake
Temple visitors center and seeing
the tabernacle. She remembers a lot of
it like it was yesterday. Her
whole life she was searching for a
church that held high standards and
was not centered on money. She said
most of her friends back in
Washington wouldn't go to church with
her anywhere. So when she was
planning on moving she prayed that she
could find a church and friends
that fit her standards. Now she is
preparing herself to be baptized on
Feb. 1.
Taught another family about temples as
they are going to see the open
house of the Gilbert Temple. The father
is the only one that is apart
of the church but the others have gone.
We shared a video about
temples and talked about it and the
importance of temples in the Old
Testament as well as now. They loved it
and are even more excited to
go and take a look at it on the inside.
