priesthood so that they could go on the temple trip with the ward.
They are such great kids but we found out that they are moving just
right outside our ward boundaries and also missionary boundaries in
about a month or two so hopefully other members and missionarys will
help them stay active and involved. It was such a great experience to
give someone the priesthood and to know that power that God gives to
us through the laying on of hands.
Last Monday we finally played another sport other than volleyball. We
played basketball but only one person showed up so we played 21 which
was still really fun. Hopefully in my next area we will be close to
other missionary's and be able to meet up and play soccer.
On Wednesday we had exchanges and another elder came to Bastrop with
me so I had to lead the area again. This elder didn't really talk at
all so I had to pretty much do everything. I realized many of my
weaknesses that I need to work on so that I can become an even better
missionary. We had another appointment with Antonio this week and he
had a game the same time as church yesterday. We went over and talked
about agency and how it is his choice to either play soccer or come to
church and also we discussed the Holy Ghost and how he answers are
prayers. He told us that we helped him a lot and that he will pray
about it. We felt good about the lesson and we were hoping he will
come to church but he ended up going to his soccer game which was a
dagger. We have another lesson with him this week and we hope that his
father will allow him to be baptized and also that he will realize the
importance of keeping the sabbath day holy. We have a couple
investigators that we are working with but we might have to drop a
couple of them because they are not keeping there commitments.
This was a long hard working week. We didn't have a lot of success but
I know that as we do as we have been asked to do blessing will come
and God will put people in our path.
