Meeting People

This was an interesting week where a lot of things occurred.  The first few days consisted of a lot of tracting and trying our best to find new people to teach, as well as meeting and building bonds with the members.  That Wednesday though, my companion, Elder Borden (who is the new district leader), had to go to a district leader training, meaning that I got to be with two other elders for most of the day.  During that time, I got to see them go to a non members house and commit someone to baptism which was awesome, and do service by attempting to move a 600 - 1000 pound rock.

The next day was a mission wide training, which once again meant that I was left with another companion in a different area.  We did tracting and service for an old woman who was married to a famous baseball player.  She showed us her husband's wall of fame so to speak.  We also talked with one of our investigators who came and told us he wants to be baptized.  His name is Chris and he is a nice guy.

Beyond that, the week was spent trying our best to figure out how we could try to find more people who would be willing to listen to the Lord's message.  We also went biking out to the furthest edges of our area where my bike tire went completely flat.

Overall, it was a good, interesting week where I got to see how other missionaries operate and try to better understand the kind of missionary I want to be.

Thanks for reading,
Elder Baxter
