Companion: Syrie (English speaking area)
This week went pretty well for us, we were able to contact effectively
and many times the contact turned into teaching. We struggled with
getting scheduled lessons that actually ended up working at the time we set
them up, making it difficult to get members out this week. We were able
to see many miracles happen during the week, we were able to finally
get in with our investigator, Lynn B, because he has been working a
ton, but had a day that he took off this week. Lynn is sincerely
looking for an answer of truth to the things that he is being taught. He is willing to put
forth the effort to follow the Word of Wisdom. He is a good man and
already avoids any problems with the Law of Chastity, and he has
supposedly already paid tithing or given a donation to the church. He is
good friends with Bishop Devereaux, so if he has any questions, he asks
us or bishop. Other than Lynn, we were able to visit Margaret and help
her move. She accepted the invitation to be baptized on the 11th of
April, but we haven't been able to get in with her to confirm her
commitment for that date. We visited with Danny, another one of our
investigators, who sincerely desires to follow God's will. He has
questions that nobody else wants to ask. He knew basically the whole
Plan of Salvation from studying the Bible, and he really desires to ask
God about baptism by proper authority. He has been baptized at
four different times in his life, but he still has felt like something
was missing, and he thinks it is possible that the missing piece is the
authority (which is true).
Elder Syrie and I have been getting along well, we opened up about some
things that have been bugging us and we are making goals to improve in
those aspects. Overall, I love serving with Elder Syrie, he has a lot of
faith, we are just really trying to focus on truly acting upon that
faith that we have because sometimes our laziness catches up to us.
I think I might have mentioned this before, but I feel a theme that has
been more prominent in the people we talk with, either they are really
interested and sincere, or they are completely closed to the teachings
we bring.
I love you guys,
Elder Stanley Scott Dye
