A
great week of freezing cold temperatures, and lots of snow. Definitely missing
Texas now!
Highlights
of the week:
#1
Obvious number one is going to be Skyping the family! The perfect lift to keep
me going strong!
#2
Aki from Eritrea, Raweya from Sudan, and Kinsey from Idaho
haha
Aki is still improving! His baptism will happen in January for sure, he just
needs a little bit more of a push!
Raweya
is new! We taught her with Bishop and his wife, and it was great. We got her an
Arabic B of M, and when her husband gets back from traveling, he wants to meet
with us too! She gave us a couple referrals for other refugees that would be
open too! I learned a lot about the Muslim culture and religion from
her! She also said she is going to teach us Arabic! Salamalako!
(Means Hi) Masalama (means bye)
Kinsey
and Rob are a Part member family, and the lessons have been going great. We
brought a member couple with us and they connected very well, and we read
Mosiah 18 with them. It was powerful, and when we committed them to come to
church, she accepted happily! The Spirit really has been working on them. She
is pondering baptism, and we have committed that already, next lesson we are going
to set the date!
#3
Christmas Eve and Christmas!
We
were busy with a lot of appointments and teaching (yeah we get no days off in
the Lord's work) but it was really great and we spent a lot of time with
non-members and less-actives, not just visiting members on those days. (Last
Christmas was mostly just active members).
This
week is going to be a super busy week for Elder Leon and I, but we are ready
for it. Excited for the new month on the mission!!
Love
y'all,
Elder
Bean
#HappyNewYear,
