This week was a pretty normal week on my end, with a lot of finding to help fill out our area book as well as several lessons and an exchange. On Tuesday we had another lesson with our on date investigator, unfortunately the lesson didn't go as smoothly as we hoped. One of the members we brought ended up going way too deep and decided to talk about a bunch of semi doctrine things while we tried to discuss the Gospel of Jesus Christ lesson. Fortunately, it all went way over our investigator's head and after the member left the parents told us they understood what happened and will help her know what we were trying to say. Still, fun times!
Throughout the rest of the week we battled to get our lessons to actually go through with varying amounts of success, but in the end we were able to get several new investigators including a super nice part member family as well as a husband to another investigator that we found a week or two ago. We also got our bikes fully working! Elder Daugherty was able to get a bike from the mission office which we were able to take over to a member to get all fixed up. Ever since then we have been able to move around our area so much easier, not to mention use all the bike friendly lanes that Eugene is famous for.
We had an exchange on Friday with our district leader and nothing too out of the ordinary happened outside of one miracle. We got to go to a lesson with one of their on date investigators who was struggling with coffee. While there we were able to convince her to throw out all her coffee, which she then poured out onto her garden to "feed" the plants to justify throwing it out. It was great to see much of the work those Elders have been trying to accomplish go through and see the miracle.
Finally yesterday we had regional conference where Elder Christoffersen spoke over the satellite about the need to fulfill our callings, and then had a great lesson with an inactive member about the Plan of Salvation and how to feel the Holy Ghost.
Thank you everybody for all the support and talk to you all more next week!
Elder Baxter
