Week #18

Hello Friends and Family,

So this last week was a little slow. We had a ton of people cancel on us because they were sick. We spent a lot of time contacting this week. During our time contacting, we found an awesome potential investigator! He was out in his front yard shooting his compact bow at a target. He was obviously a big hunter so I started talking to him about hunting. He went off about all the deer that he has shot and about the deer he is planning on shooting. Anyway we then got on the topic of religion and he said that he would love to learn more about Christ. He said that his little 18 month old son was really sick this last week and how it was an eye opener that he needs to come closer to Christ. We will be seeing him later today and I can't wait to meet his family. 

Issac, another one of our investigators seems to be progressing much quicker now than he was before. We set a baptismal date for him for the 9th of January. He's getting excited to for baptism and knows it is the path that he needs to take.

We had another FANTASTIC lesson with Kathy and Wyatt! This past week they read the first 10 chapters of the Book of Mormon and they loved it! They had a bunch of great questions about Lehi's dream. We asked Kathy to pray to know if the Book of Mormon is true and she said that she doesn't want to pray to know if it is true before she has read the whole thing. Wyatt says to her, "Mom just pray to know if what you've already read is true." Kathy responded, "I already believe that what I have read is true." That was the response that I was waiting for! They are doing so great and are loving what we are teaching them. 

We are going to the Kerrsetter Family's home for Thanksgiving which will be so fun! I love them and can't wait to spend time with them. I would really prefer to spend time with my own family on Thanksgiving but that's okay.  Have a great week.

Love,

Elder Scoresby
