Hello this week has been great. We have had a great time with Elder Barta leaving and saying goodbye to everyone and then getting my new comp Elder Gibbs! He is a cool guy. We are having a great time here. Looks like I will get 6 months total here in the hazelhood! oh fun! This is how the week went!
Monday we went around preparing for E. Barta to go home. So we went around mailing off stuff and went to a store so he could get his hat embroidered with it saying MSLM on it and the dates he served. That night we went to the Rices. Monica and Bree came also where we taught the second lesson. It was good.
Tuesday we had a good appointment with Chauncei. We reviewed the 2nd lesson with him. We learned that in a few months he will be clear to be Baptized. I will be gone by then most likely. Then we went by the Filius so Barta could say goodbye to them. Then that night we went to Beths moms place with the Moise family and did a dinner and lesson and was with them for a good amount of the night. It was good.
Wednesday we went to transfer meeting. It was great to see some many people and stuff from around the mission that I have not seen in a while. It was cool. I got my new comp and we went back to our place. He spent a good time unpacking. We Went around and we stopped by some investigators places so he coould meet them. We had a couple dropped appointments that night. Which we ended up going with the Moises to Paytons concert which was good and then we went out to DQ with them. It was fun.
Thursday we went to the Temple. It was great going to the temple and enjoying being there and feeling the Spirit so very strong. It was a great Revelatory experience. After that we had a good appointment with Chauncei. Then we went to Brees with Bro. Muir and had a great appointment with her and challenged her to Batpism for the 29 of this month! she accepted it. But she did not make it to church so we have to push it back a week now... oh well. It is still cool.
Friday we had a very long day of trying to get back in contact with all of our investigators and such. It was cool. We got in contact with people and set up appointments and found some more potetnials and such. During weekly planning in the Club house a Jewish man started talking to us and we got to teach him but he did not want us to teach him again though. Then we had a good appointment with another gator. Then that night we went to the Filius's where we finally picked up the last non member in that house as a gator. Which was cool. We watched the Testaments which is a great movie which I bought at the Temple in the distribution center. That was cool. It was a good dinner to whcih we had with them.
Saturday we set so many appointments but just about half of them fell through. We taught the Taylor family first and we picked up Antoine as a new gator. That was good. It went well. Then we wen to our appointment with a potential who ended up not being there. Then we got picked up by a member to go to another appointment to Kendra's. She got anti'd and dropped us. It was pretty sad. Then we went and taught Tamika and Lee. Which went alright. Not the best though. Then we went to teach Andrea and Didi but they said to come back another time that we could not teach them then. So we ended up going to the Moises and taught them.
Sunday was great. Phil recieved the Araonic Priesthood. It was awesome. Now he can Baptize his family! He teared up because the Spirit was so strong. I got to take part in ordaining him. Then after church we wen by many different places trying to get in contact with more peple where we got to teach a couple of lessons. It was a great week!
Hope you are all doing well! Today we get to go play bball!!!
Love,
Elder Derek Turner
