Two Letters in One

Monday October 22, 2017

So this week was a pretty good week. Minas was able to get the Holy Ghost this week and everything went well on that front. Then we were able to be with Manuk a lot this week he is our branch president. We are trying to meet with a lot of the members so that we can get them to feel that we care about them. We were able to meet with one member and we helped her to put her pej in. The thing that keeps her house warm. I don't know what it is in English. So after that we were able to talk to her for a little bit and invite her to come back to church. She has a grandson that we are going to try and meet with this week. So we will see how that goes.  

Then this week we were able to do some cement work with one of Manuk's best friends. Apparently Manuk has been trying to get him to come to church for some time now, but we just offered to help him and we were with him for a couple hours doing that and then we were able to testify about the Book of Mormon and invite him to church and he actually came. So we are super stocked on him and hope that he can progress in the coming weeks. We have a visit with him for Tuesday and are hoping that we can bring Manuk with us to that visit.

Then on Friday we had a branch council. It was going very well and we were giving a lot of assignments and then Gayane our Relief Society President had some problem with her heart. They said that her blood pressure all of a sudden dropped and that is why she wen't to the hospital. I think it was a fluke thing, but I don't know. She is just laying in bed and taking things easy right now. 

That is basically our week, but I want to finish up with knowing that you are never a lone. The savoir is always there. With training I have been feeling a little alone, but then on Sunday I decided to pray and I just felt the calming love of the Savoir. I love prayer and I am thankful to God everyday that I can talk to Him and council with Him. It really is a gift and we should cherish it. I love you all and have a great week.

This week was a pretty good week. I have noticed the advice that president Bostrom game me in an Interview with him has really Elder Millet and I work a lot better together. He really has a strong desire to help these people and I am super happy to be able to see what we can do in the weeks to come. 

Then this week the coolest thing that happened was when Anush the branch presidents wife invited one of her relatives to church. He is a 20 year old man and we are hoping to visit with him this week with Anush and get him progressing. Manuk's family is really hepling the church to grow a ton. 

Then we meet with this other 22yeah old ish man that knows English really well. He just wants to practice his English, but we have been able to testify about the Book of Mormon to him and let him know about our church. Although he is coming for English, he likes meeting with us and I know that he has felt the spirit when he has been with us. So little by little we want to help him. 

Then we were able to set a baptismal date with one of our members brothers. He has a lot of work to do to be able to reach his date of dec 9th, but I think that he can make it. He knows what he has to do to be able to reach it and now he just have to make that step of faith. 

So yeah that was our week. I love this work and am thankful for every day that I can serve the Lord. Try and do something nice for someone this week. It feels really good.
