Hey!
This week was awesome! We had a lot of fun. Last sunday we
set up a few appointments with some of our members. That really helped us be
busy throughout the week. It is hard to do normal contacting in the evening
because the people go home so it was nice to have appointments in the evening.
We also had a good lesson with a guy named M-----. He was invited by a member
to come see the church and to meet us and we ended up teaching all about the
restoration and the Book of Mormon. He felt the spirit really strong and is now
reading in the Book of Mormon from the beginning until we meet next time.
You should all be proud of me because I actually have been
pretty diligent in writing in my journal everyday. For the first six months or
so I wrote every few days but I have made it into a habit to write after we
plan. I was reading last night about my time with elder Stilger and it reminded
me of some of the crazy things that happened. I also so how I grew a lot since
then.
We had a meeting for district leaders in Vienna on saturday.
It was awesome because Elder Abott (the new zone leader) was in my MTC zone and
it was fun to talk about our missions since then.
In the last few weeks I have been studying really hard to
learn the scriptures better. That has been one of my focuses in this area but
it has really picked up in the last three weeks or so. Our Branch President
here is really smart and he lets me ask him all my questions and he gives me
some reading assignments as well. I am beginning to see how important it is to
be constantly learning. We should always be trying to find answers to our
questions about the gospel and we can never become spiritually
"full."
Well, things are going well. I'm happy. Have fun with your
"staycation!" And thanks for the info dad!
Love,
Elder Eldredge
