We had Transfer calls, and the streak is broken, me and Elder Raymond are staying togeather for another Transfer. we also have been asked to Trial Test Facebook for the Mission to better use it, so thats gonna be interesting :)
this week was something else...
to start off me and Elder Raymond got have the Zoo all to ourselfs... i didn't realize that they dont have animals out in the Winter... it was fun though no big crowds instead we gave out a few cards to the workers we talked to. and got to play with the otters a bit... and i almost convinced a worker to let me into the cage with the ant-eater but then he decided otherwise :( it was still fun though.
he didn't blame me for trying though :)
anyway this week was both good and bad.
Bertina is a lady we have been trying to meet with for a week or two now but situation just never allowed it to happen so we or she had to keep rescheduling. but finally we got in!!!! and she is a mother of 4 who is not very religious but from what her mother taught her when she was younger God is the only person she can rely on. and she needs help finding him. it was a powerful lesson. i am really excited to work with her! and she on the first lesson chose to be baptized on the 12th of January. we told her its gonna take a lot of work to make it but she said she wants to try. I am supper Excited!!!
We also had a Less the Michael and Mike (i don't remember if i have talked about them: mike is a member who is trying to get back into the swing of things. Michael is his son who isn't very religious but wants to be baptized) Michael gave us the issue that he just doesn't have the same motivation as his dad. through a heart to heart we helped him see that he expects something he hasn't tried for, meanwhile his dad has past experiences he relies on. from that he chose that he wants to work towards February 10th for baptism. and i am excited! but i hope i get him to move it up because i dont think i will stay here for another transfer after this one.
bad part most days all of our plans fell through. but we will do better next week.
Last thing we got to teach Seminary!! Which is like the best thing ever! And we I challenged the youth. We have a special Christmas sacrament meeting on the 23rd if the 20 of then can bring more non members to church then the 4 missionaries(us and a set of sisters) we will make them breakfast for 6 am seminary. If they lose they have to make us breakfast.
These next few weeks are gonna be good.
Love y'all
-Elder Jarvis
