To start off the week we had Zone Conference, where they focused on the importance of the "Book of Mormon," as well as more training on how to do online proselyting. It was a great meeting as usual, and at the end we got to have some time to talk to other missionaries and past companions which was great as well. Unfortunately, the meeting went long which caused us to miss a lesson we worked hard to set up. When we got back we raced on our bikes to at least apologize for not meeting with them and barely met them before they left for dinner. All is well though and they completely understand.
Wednesday we had another exchange to help out our district leader, followed up with a lesson with Haley our on date. We finished up teaching her the commandments in a lesson, as well as prepared her for her baptism interview. Fast forward to Saturday, she successfully passed her interview and is ready to be baptized his coming Saturday! Haley and her family are awesome and it is easy to tell that their faith is stronger now than it was before the lessons.
We also had several other great lessons, including one with a family named the Whites. We got to bring a member who worked at the MTC and they really hit it off, which was followed up with a great Restoration lesson, where they showed great sincerity and great questions. The Spirit was so strong, making it a great lesson. We also got to teach a different inactive member again and teach about the Sacrament. Through the lesson it was easy seeing the Gospel click for him in many ways.
Overall, teaching is great and everyday is an adventure. As I go around on my bike to appointments, I am very thank for the opportunity I have to be out here and all those who made it possible. Thanks for all of the support!
