Things appear to be looking up for this next week. Last week was pretty sparse with appointments and our investigators seem to be dropping like flies. So there's not much to report from this last week.
I guess some highlights might be:
- Gary has decided that the Book of Mormon has to be true. He also realizes that means Joseph Smith is a prophet. Gotta love that domino effect. However his progress halted a little bit because he still refuses to come to Church. Tonight we're going to watch President Uchtdorf's famous (in my eyes anyway) “Waiting on the Road to Damascus.” That helped me realize my testimony.
- Last P'day we went on a tour of Erie provided by the Clarks. Along with seeing the wonders Presque Isle and antique downtown structures, we went frog hunting. There are apparently 102 giant plastic frog casts around town. I think we found like 11 on Monday. Only 91 to go...
- I went to a different church for the first time in my life – a Catholic church with one of our investigators. We promised to do a church swap and so we went to the Saturday evening mass. It was interesting... The priest even acknowledged our presence amidst the congregation of 900 Catholics. He wanted to answer all of our questions so bad, so we made some up just to make him feel like we were interested. Elizabeth (our investigator) then came to Church yesterday.
- Elder Porter of the 70 came and spoke to our mission. He expounded things I had never considered about the Doctrine of Christ. His wife talked about the light that emanates from us as missionaries. She made the interesting comment that we'll meet people in the Celestial Kingdom who will run to us saying that we've never met but by simply watching the way we conduct ourselves, the light and the image of us being servants of the Lord will make people want to know what we're about.
Hold your light up. The light of Christ radiates from your very being.
Elder Low
