So we got iPads yesterday! It's pretty sweet!
This week in Bostonia went a lot better then last week. We saw a lot of cool miracles and we worked super hard. Sometimes being in a walking area can be frustrating because sometimes you don't have time to go to the parts of your area that are farther away. We have a lot of work close to where we live which is pretty cool.
Last Tuesday we had dinner with the 1st counselor in the bishopric and his family. They also had one of their nonmember friends over that we are teaching and we had a really good lesson with him. He is going through a lot of hard stuff in his life but he likes when we teach him.
On Wednesday I had DLC and afterwards our zone leaders went on exchanges with another companionship. After they exchanged they found out that neither of them were able to drive so Elder Wendel and I got a car for the day! We had dinner with this part member family that we are teaching and we had a crazy good lesson with them! Don, who is the nonmember, told us that he has been reading the Book of Mormon every day and praying. He has a date for June 27 to be baptized which is awesome. He came to church for the first time on the 31st and he told us that afterwards he and his wife sat down and talked about church. They were talking about if this church was going to fit them and who they are or are they going to have to change a lot. They paused and said that it doesn't matter if the Church fits who they are because the Church is true so we should change to fit the Church. It was amazing! They have so much faith!
Thursday was such a good day. We were able to teach 5 lessons which is pretty rare for a walking area but it was so cool. We are truly blessed.
Saturday was an amazing day! I had the opportunity to go back to Sweetwater to see Em get baptized! It was probably the most spiritual baptism ever. Em has had 2 strokes and is usually in a wheel chair but she was able to walk into the font with some help. Elder Kiser baptized her. It was so amazing to see her be baptized because of her health problems. She can't remember things very well so her understanding of what she was taught wasn't very much but she had a desire to follow Jesus Christ and she understood the importance of being baptized!
Yesterday we had Zone conference and we talked a lot about the Book of Mormon and how we should be introducing it to investigators. I made a few comments during the conference about how this is something that Elder Kiser and I had been working on so he made me come up front and I taught my mission president about the Book of Mormon... It was pretty scary haha but it's all good. I guess I did a good job though because he told everyone after I taught him he was going to show a clip from the district but he ended up never showing the clip. So that was pretty crazy haha.
This week has been a lot better then last week. Things are getting better in my district and in my companionship. I gained a better testimony of charity this week as I worked on loving the people in my district. Our Heavenly Father always answers prayers!
Love you all!
Elder Chris LaRochelle
