Aug. 28, 2017 in Manchester, New Hampshire

Hello!!

This last week T. came to church again, and we had some awesome experiences with him! We taught the Word of Wisdom, Law of Chastity, and Tithing. He accepted each, and we threw away a bunch of stuff while we were there as well as dumping out all his beer with him! It was so awesome, it was incredible to see someone who really just wanted to repent and be worthy. He has set a baptismal date of September 23rd, but will need to move it to the 22nd as the ward has some other activities that day as well.

We also had a new investigator named R. at church. She is a really nice lady who we met on the street. We were able to visit her and have a really powerful Restoration lesson. She was going to try to make it to the other Elders baptism, but then she had to take care of her sister who suffered from a stroke years ago. The following day however she came to church and had a great experience.

M. would have come to church too, but apparently she missed her ride because she didn't see them and missed their calls, bummer! M. and J. were out of town this week and Je. had to work, but it was a pretty great week still! :)

We had several meetings this week and lots going on, as well as President Blair's birthday! We sent out an email to the mission asking them to send in short video answers to a question, like what one thing he taught them is, or why he is the best mission President in the world. We also got a bunch of fun things that a mission President would need or that had a funny story behind them and made a "Mission President Survival Kit". It was great and President Blair really liked it! :)

This week we have some Zone Conferences and lots going on so it'll be a wild one! Two cool announcements are that we are going to be getting social media as a mission, more details to come, as well as that we will be having an Apostle visit the mission in a few weeks!!! It will be a crazy and really exciting next little while!! :) 


Love you all and thanks for all the love and prayers!
