Dear Family,
Well this week has
been very good. I don’t know what it was, but this week my companion and I have
been working really well together. We have had a lot more unity in our
companionship and have been teaching really well together and it has made this
week really fly by. I’m not sure if I told you guys but this was Elder Qu’s
last transfer here in the country. He goes home this Wednesday and I’m going to
miss that guy.
So here are some of
the adventures of the week. We have been working a lot with less active
members, and it was really cool because we found a woman named A, who hasn’t
been to church in over 11 years. So we went to her house where she lives with
her two kids and her mom. Because she
stopped going to church such a long time ago she is the only member in her
house. Anyway, we went there this week and it was a really special experience.
She still remembers everything and we just talked about Jesus and how He
created a plan with steps to help us return to our Father’s presence. It was a
really sweet experience, but then her mother came in and started trying to
argue with us about Joseph Smith. Before we could even respond, A, who hadn’t
gone to church in eleven years, started defending Joseph Smith. It was a super
cool thing to see that even after all this time; she still had a testimony of
the truth. I was pretty happy to be there at that moment.
Then we had another
really cool experience with one of our investigators named F. We had not
visited him for a week or so when he called us to ask if we could stop by and
talk to him more. Now that might not seem like much, but that is literally the
first time on my mission that an investigator has called us to set an
appointment! We are trying to help him understand the great apostasy, but it’s
a bit tough. But yeah, that’s my week.
Oh and I’m getting a
new companion named Elder K. He is
Tongan, but from Utah. I haven’t met him yet but I’m pretty excited to have
him! So that’s my week. I’ll see you this Christmas, mom and dad.
Love,
Elder Stark
