"Hey
"This week has been pretty awesome. We got back in contact with Dorsey! He called us and said he is ready to change and how much he wants it and how while we weren't visiting him he had been trying to apply the things we taught him and how well it went. We went over last night and read 2 Nephi 4 with him and he really had his first true connection with the scriptures. We talked about how even Nephi a prophet had struggles, but he didn't get down he just continued to follow God and trust him. It was a great lesson.
We also have been teaching a guy named Westly, and we challenged him last time about baptism, and he said he would pray about it. Then he called last night at like 10:15 and said he didn't want to get baptized because of things he likes to do and we don't do. But then he said he should probably get baptized in our church and how its on him not us for him choosing not to. I challenged him to read Mosiah chapter 3, and at 11:00 pm last night, he called and woke us up and asked how soon he could get baptized. We said the 22nd, and we are going to talk more about it with him on Tuesday!
We also found a family of 3, Montine, Zyon, and Ndya. They are pretty sweet. Zyon is 13 and he was super engaged in our lesson, and I think if he keeps interested he will bring his 11 year old sister and his great grandma, Montine, with him. We had a great lesson with all three of them, and we are going back on Tuesday, We will be extending a baptismal date to them. We are also teaching Laura still and she has been doing really well. She said every time she reads the Book of Mormon it rings true to her and we are hoping to extend a date this week to her, as well!
HMMMMMMMM what else?!?!?! Oh today we are going on a full tour of UGA's Stadium. A member is on the grounds crew, and he is taking us through everything even the locker rooms it is gonna be so sick!!!!! but yeah thats about it!
Hamer Out
Mosiah 5:12 "I say unto you, I would that ye should remember to retain the name written always in your hearts, that ye are not found on the left hand of God, but that ye hear and know the voice by which ye shall be called, and also, the name by which he shall call you."
I love his enthusiasm.
