This
week was amazing. We had 15 lessons as opposed to our regular 8 or 9. We have
found a number of new people to teach as well. We finally have J on date!
He is a ten year old boy whose father was baptized 3 or 4 years ago and became
less active and involved in Gang activity, drugs, alcohol, the works. He really
wants to be worthy to baptize J. I am so excited for everything in this
area! We are working with the Elders Quorum president to make Home teaching
assignments for the Ward. There are about 20 people in the Ward that have home
teachers. In working with the HPGL, we have given him assignments and he hasn't
done anything. In making home teaching assignments his first question is
"Who lives closest?" Doesn't matter if the person is less active or
no one knows if they even live there anymore. So we are finally getting some
structure to home teaching! I'm set excited!!! We are also trying to give
callings and assignments to less actives, less active part member families, and
new members in order to get them active. V, the girl we baptized last
weekend, is already less active....there is no fellowshipping in the Ward at
all. Please pray that our Ward members will have a real desire to live the
gospel! We came up a list of 9 people yesterday with Bishop that we can rely
on. These are the only people in the Ward that are living the gospel. Home
teaching works. Living the gospel works. If people are not doing and have no
desire at all to do either one or both of those they should consider having
their names removed from the records of the church because that will just make
it worse for them when they die. Anyway, love you all!
