Hello everyone!
This week I found out that I will be training a new missionary. Now I will have two "Sons" in the mission. It is going to be very different from my last time when it was out of my training.
During this week I have been loving the fact that I have been putting a bigger focus on my book of Mormon reading. There has not been a day in a really long time that I have not read from The Book of Mormon, but it is just different when you put a time on how much you are going to read instead of pages. Just something that my mission president said that we should put time into reading The Book of Mormon and not pages. So I want to invite all of you to do that so that you can let the spirit guide you. So every morning I have been reading for 40 minutes and I really have just been enjoying it a lot more. Instead of just getting through my page amount I am just reading and not thinking about it.
Then this week we have been working with a man called Vachik for a long time. Just about the whole transfer. He has not really progressed very much and he has been saying that he needs to get glasses so that he can read from the Book of Mormon. So I have not had a ton of faith in him because he never really did it, but then two visits ago he said that he got glasses and that he would read in his free time. I was still not being super faithful, but was happy that he said he would read. Then next time we came he was already in 1st Nephi 4. He told us that yeah Joseph Smith set up a church in 1830. So there is progress there and he has support from some members. When they heard that Minas was getting baptized his sisters told us that you will invite him to the baptism and they really want him to get baptized too. So he has some promise. The next step is just getting him to church.
I love all of you and conference was amazing. I really like all of the talks, but my two favorite ones were Elder Nelsons and Elder Holland.
