Elder Mitchell's Week

This week was pretty good, at least it ended really good. We met last week at the Book of Mormon Pop up stand a kid named Joseph. We got his phone number and told him we would schedule a time when we could meet up. So we texted him and set up a time for him to come to the church. He came and we taught him about Joseph Smith and the Restoration and he was soaking it all it. He seems really excited to learn more. It was a good lesson.

We also went to a christening of a New baby in an African Community church. It was really fun! they sing and dance and shout hallelujah. The parents told us we were there special guests. (it was at their house) (also they are our new investigators). So that was cool. Elder Moneiro and I are learning to teach together really well. Its fun working with him. 

The rest of the week was filled with finding and tradeoffs. I went on Tradeoffs with Elder Sibbett and it was really fun! its cool to see how both of us have become better missionaries over the past few months. Hes is really good. I also went on Tradeoffs with An Elder Usua from Vanuatu. He is a convert like my companion and came on his mission after 1 year of being a member. He talks to EVERYONE we see. It was really fun to work with him as well. This week we have a combined mission conference with the south mission. So I will get to see Juni Paongo. I am excited to see him! We will hear from Elder Clayton, the senior pres of the seventy. I am excited to meet him. There are going to be around 300 missionaries there so I don't know if Ill get to shake his hand, but I hope so. 

Thats all from the week. Love you heaps and hope you have a good week too.

Book of Mormon Pop Up

This week was really good. We found 5 new investigators! One of them is named Dee and she is from California. We met her on the street as we were on the way to see somebody from Brazil! So we told her what we were doing and she said she was just wasting time anyways so we offered to walk her home and tell her about the Restoration. She accepted and we did that. She understood it really well and promised to read in the Book of Mormon, 3 Ne 11. Well we went back on Thursday and she hadn't read it. So we read it with her and she really liked it! So we committed her to read from the beginning. That night we got a text from a random number asking us if they could highlight things in the book we gave them. We had no idea who it was so we called. It was Dee! she was reading the Book of Mormon and wanted to highlight stuff because it was so good! So we have to follow up with her sometime this week!

Also this week we had the Book of Mormon Pop up stand. Its just a big rectangle advertisement for the Book of Mormon. We set it up somewhere and then try to talk to everyone that walks past. Its pretty fun! We had a lot of people interested to learn more about the Book of Mormon from that. But they were all from outside of our area. It was fun tho! 

Thats all I can think of for this week! Love you hope you have a good week!

Elder Mitchell

The Week goes a little something like this:

Sorry not much time this week.

Just a quick update: We met with Kris this week and taught him the Restoration. He thought it all made sense and when we asked him to be baptized, he said, "well that would be the next step wouldn't it" He seems like he has been prepared to recieve the gospel. Hopefully He can continue to progress. 

My comp is pretty cool. We are very different from each other, but it is really fun to work with him. I hope you have a good week. Sorry for the short one, love you heaps!
