It
was a good week! Already starting to feel like fall with some nice cool
weather!
Last
Monday since we were like out of miles we just went and played pool with this
old guy, Mike, at this apartment complex and he was so good. Made crazy shots
and would play 5 shots ahead and determine how and where he would hit and the
spin he would put on the cue ball. It was a lot of fun.
Had
a lot of good lessons this week and people are making progress. Went out with Thane
to visit people the other night and we set up three return appointments! Thane
is a neat guy. Served a mission and was a great missionary. He knows his
stuff!
In
Fairfield this week we talked with two families at the door and both welcomed
us back eagerly! Which was pretty cool since they are both part members. People
in Fairfield are just so kind and genuinely nice! I could live there someday
haha.
We
are starting to really involve the members more and commit them to do
missionary work in simple ways. It has been a good thing and we hope to see
some fruit come of that!
Really
cool thing is happening with the Maugers! They are a neat family and have so
much momentum in the gospel right now. They have changed a lot and come far and
we are all hoping to help them get to the temple soon! :) It will be such a
blessing in their life. We watched "Temples are a beacon" with them
and "The Blessings of the Temple". Committed them to have a goal to
go to the temple and experience how great it is and how much of a strength to
their family it will be.
Temples
are so important and CRUCIAL to God's plan for us. It is the one way that we
can be given the greatest blessing we could ever receive: an eternal family.
Not to mention it allows those that have died to receive necessary ordinances
for salvation, like baptism, and to be sealed to their families! It is God's
"no child left behind" strategy in a way! Only those that choose not
to follow Christ will be left behind, and that is because of their own choices.
WE must choose to accept Jesus Christ and believe his teachings and the truth
that has been restored today; That we have a prophet on the earth. That we have
the authority of God to administer the church and perform ordinances. That the Book
of Mormon is Another Testament of Jesus Christ and contains the fullness of the
gospel and supports and clarifies the message of the Bible.
I
love this Gospel and being able to share this great and wonderful message with
everyone.
Love
y'all,
Elder
Bean :)
