Our week was stellar. We worked so hard. There were definitely some really cool blessings.
Monday-
We had a lesson with Michael. We had his baptism interview. He passed so he is able to get baptized on Saturday.
Tuesday-
We went on exchanges. I was with an Elder that was struggling. We had a really good day. The experience helped him gain that missionary work fire. It was a good time for me too. We had fun and we had a really full day. We taught a lot of people. It was nice, definitely a miracle.
Wednesday-
We have been trying to teach a lady for a few months. She called us back and we were able to have a lesson with her. That was awesome. We have been just working like crazy and seeing the fruits.
Thursday-
We just had a normal day. Talked to a bunch of people, and taught some people on the street. Nothing too special. It is becoming so much fun being out here and preaching the gospel. We have a grand old time.
Friday-
We got a call to give a blessing. We have a few hospitals in the area. They call us whenever somebody requests a blessing. This time it was a call from the chaplain. And, usually the call is to give a blessing to people who are very less active. So it is missionary work in progress. We also planned for the week. I hate planning! It is the worst. But, we have made a new system for
planning and it works so well. So I don't hate it as much.
Saturday-
Michael got baptized. We had a crazy cool experience then. To see him progress this far and to finally make it. We have been meeting with him three times a week. We have reset the date twice. We have born our testimonies countless times, but he had to do it himself. He did. We were so excited to have the baptism on Saturday. I got to meet our new President (he has an interim Mission President since President Taylor is recovering from heart surgery). It was a really solid day. Michael had the desire and the drive to get baptized. So sweet.
Sunday we had his confirmation. He has had a problem being on time since we meet him. They will come 2 hours late to church. He was only 30 minutes late for his baptism. And he was only 20 late for Sacrament. We have some really awesome prospects for baptism now. There is a child of record that we will put on date this week. It was a solid week and we had it capped with a baptism.
Love,
✌Elder Astle 👊
