Kody is baptized! Holy moly, this is crazy! What a stud! I am so proud of him! Also I am glad to see that some family came to support him. We were blessed to live near so much family when I was baptized. I will forever be grateful for the support of the family! Especially now seeing many families not supportive of baptism!
Congrats to Mike and Kevin for their new callings! They better do a good job! The missionries count on them! Needless to say our ward missonaries and ward mission leader are inactive. It makes it a little bit difficult to work with the ward without them! So Please work with the missionaries is my only request haha.
This week was good! We had the opportunity to work with many of the inactives that came to conference this last weekend. Some of them are in what we call apostasia. For example one of the sisters that we were teaching revealed to us that she wants to build a church on her property. And also that the priesthood authority is given to all who are obedient. So needless to say Elder S. and I have a lot of work to do to help these members out! It is sad because many of these inactives are inactive because of some of the members of the ward and other ward drama. So we need to figure out how to help them know the gospel in its fulness again and also how to resolve this ward drama.
This week I had to chances of Service! Both included cutting lawns with ol reliable Moroni. Good news I didnt get any NEW blisters. Bad news some of my old ones reopened but that is okay! They make good memories!
A little more bad news. Thursday Elder S. and I went to teach Cat, her daughter however decided not to listen to us though. But Cat was really receptive! We taught her about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon. We invited her to read the Book of Mormon and to pray to see if it was true! The closing pray she asked God without us telling her to! It was really powerful! Well we left and felt really good and about 10 minutes later we recieved a call from her saying that she slipped and broke her arm in the bathroom! So Elder S. and I practically ran back to her house and waited with her until her friend picked her up to take her to the hospital. She was really sad and also her ribs were hurting her because she fell on her side! Well of course we checked on her the next day and she had a cast and the doctor ordered her to rest for 15 days. So I have no idea when the baptism will be! But the good news is she recognizes that this was the devils doing! And her testimony is that much stronger!
Also Friday was the baptism of an Investigator for Elder O.! His name is Ib and he is super smart! Right now he is going to college to major in English! So him and I talk in English all the time, he is super cool! Well before the baptism Elder O. and his companion(the disobedient one) they came to our house to eat lunch. After lunch the disobedient elder decided to take a little nap. Well Elder O. had a little patience with him and let him sleep. But he needed to go to the chapel to clean the font! So he woke him up and asked him to get ready so they could head out. Well Elder Disobedient had a headache and wasnt going to be able to go. After he said that I could tell that Elder O. was a little upset! So before he could say anything I volunteered to go! I got permission from Elder S. and off we went!
On our way to the chapel I was holding a triple combination that we were planning on giving to Ib for his baptism. Elder O. passed this house whose gate was open(nothing out of the usual) when all of a sudden this dog came booking out! I should really say this wolf came booking out and was heading straight towards us! This wolf was ANGRY. He was definitely trained as a guard dog! Well Elder O. started screaming Elder Milton! Elder Milton! and he jumped and his behind me! Meanwhile I had the good ol Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and The Pearl of Great Price ready to backhand this dog! The dog was 3 feet away when finally the owner came out and yelled at the dog. It immediately listened and headed back into the house! Thank goodness! I was safe Elder O. was safe and I didnt have to use the power of the Triple Combination! I will never forget the courage of Elder O. to jump and hide behind me. It was hilarious.
Well that is the sum of my week! I hope you enjoy! Thank you for taking the time to read up and check on me! I am still alive! I love you guys and I hope you all have a wonderful week! :)
Love,
Elder Milton
