I also went on an exchange with the Zone Leaders, I stayed here in Bay and Elder Creger went to Slidell, It was good, mostly, all we really did was tract, but then again, that's all we ever do, EVER!!
Our one investigator seems to be avoiding us lately, so that's been lame! We tract and tract and tract, and nothing ever seems to come from it, I have yet to gain a testimony of tracting, maybe I just need to have more faith in it...
We did talk to one guy that said he would read the Book of Mormon.. And that he already had once... In prison... So yeah, that's the kind of success we have, people that go to jail!
We went to see a recent convert of the ward that has not been to church in a while, he was not there, but his VERY drunk father was... This man was drunk as could be, he was a happy drunk though, so that's good, he hugged us both when we left, like, at the same time.. So that was awkward.
I conducted my first ever baptismal interview! I guess that's kinda nifty! She got baptized on Saturday, She is in the sisters area, but really she was taught by the Elders that used to be in that area, it just took here forever to quit smoking, It was a good service, Elder Green, who was here when I first came and taught her, came down to do the confirmation! It was good to see him again.
Sunday was a good one, as always, we were on a LA hunt most the day, when we got a call from a member to go visit a guy who had not been to church in like 20 years! He is not even on the ward roster, anyway, we found his house, and realized we had tracted that house like a week ago! haha, he didn't answer when we went the first time though, so it was not awkward or anything. Now I just know why we were inspired to tract that street!
My sweet loved ones! This was one of the most spiritual experiences of my mission! I did not expect it at all, I thought it would be a simple give the man a blessing and bounce, not at all! He is an awesome man! Turns out he had been trying to get a hold of us for years! And boy does he love missionaries! Anyhow! That's not what was so amazing, EVERYONE LOVES ME! THAT'S NORMAL! What is not normal, is ME having to fight myself from getting emotional while giving a blessing, never before, have I felt so strongly, via the spirit! that what I was saying in a blessing, was not at all MY words, but the Lords. Every time I give a blessing I think "Was that just me? Am I at ALL saying what I am suppose to say?" This time I knew, The spirit was SO strong, I DIDN'T CRY!! CAUSE I'M A MAN!!! But I did almost choke up a bit, anyhow, after he said that it was everything he needed to hear. THE SPIRIT DOES WORK THROUGH US!! YAY!!
Welp! That's all I got this time around,
I love you, I hug you, Amen.
Elder CamCam Martin!
