This week was great! Elder Blosch is awesome! Having 3 Zone Leader is super weird. Karen was confirmed and we are baptizing 2 this Sunday!!! Wahoo!!! 3 baptism in 2 weeks... whaaat?
Transfers were great! Lots of changes throughout the zone. There are 4 trios. Pretty crazy. We were talking to President about it and he was telling us that 40% of the mission leaves in the next 2 transfers. So they have been combining areas to prepare for that.
This week we did a lot of teaching preparing Jeannie and Hunter for their baptismal interviews! Jeannie was interviewed yesterday and passed and will be baptized on Sunday!! Her conversion story could be in the Ensign. She's amazing! We worked shoulder to shoulder with President this week. We were on the phone or with him almost everyday this week. It was fun. I had a training in an over the phone MLC on using the Book of Mormon immediately. Went well!
While knocking doors in the rough spots of Niagara Falls this past week there was a loud bang... one of the ladies on her porch yelled "that ain't no firecracker..... that's a bullet!" Then she ran inside. It was hilarious. There may have been a shooting....
I was privileged to confirm Karen a member of the church and give her the gift of the holy ghost. It was a wonderful experience.
While out and about teaching people on the street on Saturday there were lots of jets flying around for an air show! So we had a show while out teaching people! It was quite fun! Lol.
Tiffany is progressing nicely! We spent a lot of time this week focusing on the need of authority to baptize. She was going to come to church yesterday, but had to babysit.
Mesha, one of out investigators is in a coma... She relapsed on her old addiction and it's not looking too good. Sad.
We found another esha who is super excited to be baptized already and we met her on Saturday!! She is searching for truth. Super cool! The lord has placed some very serious people in our path the past few weeks.
As I have strived to use the Book of Mormon more in my ministry I have seen miracles. Amina, a Muslim lady who is searching for God has said about the Book of Mormon "I have never felt this much love before... thank you for bringing me this book." As I have read it more with my brothers and sisters they have been touched by the holy ghost. We read it with Tiffany this past week and as we read Alma 32:28 she started crying and said she had never felt the spirit so strongly. I might add my witness to that as well. The spirit of the Book of Mormon is powerful!!! There is power in the book. If you aren't reading it... you are denying yourself spiritual progression that can't and will not come until you feast upon its words.
Love y'all!
Love,
Elder Judy
