Jacob - September 11, 2017 THE LAST!

Hey Family, so this week went super well. It was definitely one of
those weeks that we were able to see the fruits of our labors. This
Sunday we had 8 investigators at church. One was the family that we
found, the parents came and also the majority of their children. We've
been also teaching that family pretty frequently and have a lesson
with them tomorrow. There was another investigator that came that we
have been working with for the past few weeks. She has some health
problems at the moment, but she lives in the complex with a lot of
members and so one of the member families brought her yesterday, we
also have a lesson with her tomorrow. Lastly there was a less active
mom that was baptized about 3 years ago that came and her 2 children.
The kids aren't baptized so we are hoping that as the mom becomes
active again, the kids will be able to progress more. Other highlights
of the week, on Saturday we had the Dia de Hispanidad. It's a giant
stake activity at the stake center. All the wards go and eat food and
have a good time together. Also at the end of the day, probably around
6 or 7, they have a cultural dance from each ward. The ward I am in
wasn't able to perform because we were informed a bit late about the
dancing part. But it's all good. My comp and I didn't stick around
because we had work to do up in our area. Also Saturday we had a
Temple Tour, we went down because we were expecting some people to go,
but on the way down we were informed that none of our investigators
would be able to go... So that was a bummer, but I was able to have a
good conversation with a man returning to activity. We spoke a little
bit about the Gathering of Israel and the establishment of Zion. These
were probably the highlights for this week. I can't recall much else
about the week besides service, teaching & finding, and district
meeting. But it was a pretty good week. This upcoming week i'm going
to be pretty busy. Thursday I'll be going to the temple with President
Golden as well as with all the dying missionaries. Friday we'll have a
"farewell Dinner," that'll take all the night... It goes from 6-9pm.
Saturday is going to be the adult session of Stake Conference, we'll
probably have people there so we'll most likely go. And then Sunday
will be the General Session of Stake Conference. Should be a pretty
good week.
Love you all! I've been hearing a lot about natural disasters so I
hope you all stay safe!
