This was a fast week and a busy one. We were able to teach two people this week who don't know who Jesus Christ is. One of them is Elisa and this was are second time teaching her. She has now come to church for almost 4 months and is trying to understand and learn as much as possible. This week we helped her understand what repentance is and how we can repent. She had many questions but said that she really enjoyed learning more about the importance of repentance. We also taught her what Jesus Christ did when he was on the earth and why that is so important to us now today. She didn't come to church this Sunday but we will be meeting again with her on Wednesday. We will be seeing if she wants to go to the singles ward the only challenge is that it is almost an hour drive to the YSA ward.
The other lady we taught who didn't know who Jesus Christ is from Malaysia and is married to a less active member. This young family came to church on Sunday because they are visiting here for about a week. We taught her also about who Christ is and she had many questions such as why are there so many Christian churches and what is the difference between them all. She was born Muslim and decided for herself that she didn't want to believe that. She has a great desire to learn more about the church and we will be contacting the missionaries in Lubbock Texas where they are living.
Earlier this week we went out with are bishop on visits. We were able to contact several of the members that he felt would benefit from a visit with the missionaries and himself. We have a great bishop who is actively participating and encouraging others to participate in missionary work. It is amazing how much the topic of missionary work is discussed in this ward because it is a focus of the bishops. Still trying to find a lot of people to find and teach. Looking forward to another week.
