Well, this is a week to remember for me, our Investigators were not able to attend church this week because of a funeral and work, but they will be there next week! We have set up something that is going to be super amazing. So next week is Fast and Testimony meeting, and after the Sacrament there is going to be a multi language musical number to start off the testimony meeting by the missionaries and friends a.k.a our investigators and a few members. We will be singing I need thee every hour! I am super excited for it and so our our investigators! This area is running itself, and I feel I am just blessed to be in it at this time! Mandy is doing the first step this week on her divorce so that should be done soon, if all goes well! :) which means she may be able to be baptized at the end of October too. But it depends a lot on her ex and how much he puts up a fight. It is in my prayers that it will go well, and Mandy and Bro. Fisk will be able to get married, but I know the Lord has his timing and he knows his children. So it will happen sooner or later. I just want sooner, I love that family so much! Briar this week asked if he gets to choose who baptizes him, and we told him of course! The kid is great already talking about going on a mission a year after his baptism! The Ta's are doing pretty good, they haven't received any answers to their prayers yet, but I don't know, they will be joining us in the musical number on Sunday!They gave us a lot of referrals one of them being her son and his wife here in town who we are now teaching! And like three others in the states who have all reported back as meeting with the missionaries and going to church! This family is so great they just really need to be baptized! The Francis are doing great as well, we read in Nephi this week about the plain and precious truths being taken from the bible and we believe that it helped her with her question about why the Book of Mormon is the "most correct of any other book" even the Bible! We met Matt's fiance this week, she was happy to meet us, they will be coming to conference but not so sure about next week but we meet with Matt on Wednesday so we will be inviting him then for sure! Andy is great he is way Masonry so kind about everything this week we are inviting him to sing the English part with us on Sunday, We believe he will accept! So then he will come to church too, and feel that revelation through it! We met Boni's father Brother Proulx, and his new girlfriend D.J. and her daughter Megan, who we are now teaching too! Boni was suppose to be at church this week but was a no show! So we will just talk about it on Tuesday when we meet with them. We picked up one of our former Investigators Steve this week, he has been going through some drama, but we should be seeing him next week at church too, which will be way cool.
Elder Brown and I are doing great. Staying out of trouble, mostly because of our busy schedule! He has gotten mad at me once, because I try to get everyone in when they are available and it cost us a lunch and dinner break at times... Sunday we finally had time to go and do a lot of finding, but we felt it was better to get a hold of the investigators we hadn't seen in a bit and see how they were doing so we did some drop bys. I am glad we did because it helped a few of them and it let us know what was happening with them. District Meeting went well! Elder Hales did a great job talking about our purpose and extending commitments. That was the main theme of the meeting.. But even though Elder Brown and I are busy we find a lot of time to just laugh, he is a funny guy and its way fun to serve with him. The Stratford Elders are great too, they are so hard working, and serve as a great example to me!
OK so here it is my first night and there is a Zone Conference call with the District Leaders to talk about this transfer, and we are asked to set certain times for a district meeting, and they ask who will give one this Friday.. the line goes quiet and Elder Allen in his mind its you say you will, and then I am thinking no way ho say, but then my mouth betrays me and says I will!! So this week in my studies I studied the importance of extending commitments in preparation for the blasted district meeting I set myself up for. The District meeting went well though, I surprised my self for being able to instruct my district for an hour. And have now set myself to role play a commitment a day with Elder Brown so its easier when teaching and also to improve on following up with people when I invite them to do something!
Well have a great week I love you all!
Love, Elder Allen
