Dear family and friends,
Hello everyone! im here in south jordan and this is the last
week of the transfer. This week we have a lesson with a family and i am stoked!
We might pick up a whole family of 5! which would be legit because ive never
taught a whole family before. That lesson is on saturday so pray that they will
be there. We had some sad but also some happy news this week. We had to drop an
investigator because he was not willing to continue to keep his commitments. He
had a confirmation from the spirit but he didn't want to admit it and follow
the promptings that he received. It was very sad. But i think he will be
baptized on his own terms. He just felt a lot of pressure when there really
wasn't any at all. The good news is that we picked up a new investigator. her
name is Georgette and shes Hispanic but very smart. she had a couple of degrees
and she told us she was fed up with the catholic church. She definitely felt
the spirit and accepted the date of baptism on the 5 of oct. i forgot it was
conference but hey waht better time than then. hers husband is going to be a
problem. he says he supports her but he might make it hard to have lessons with
her.
Scott is also getting prepared to be baptized this saturday!
im really stoked. He just needs to pass the interview which im a little nervous
for because getting his comprehension is difficult. he has some mental problems
but not much but some days he will talk a lot and some days he likes to joke
around a lot. We will be teaching him for a long time because we will have to
prepare him for the temple and for the priesthood. It was very touching because
scott had to write the chinese government and tell them how hes doing and he
wrote that he had a great family who loves him and he has friends. and he wrote
elder heaths and my names for his friends. it was very touching but it also
means we need to find him friends so he doesn't feel bad when we leave.
Other than that not much happened. we had stake conference
and elder russel m nelson spoke and so did Elder packer. His talk was very
interesting because he showed a talk that he gave a while ago. it was a video
and it was very erratic. i could tell what he really wanted us to learn. i felt
like he just threw out nuggets of information.
We had a good week. All is well. not like the scripture
though.
Love Elder Salmon
