(all of) Ma Famille!!
Hope you are all well! The weather is becoming… well quite chilly. We had a great miracle in our own area during church this past weekend. Richard, one of our investigators, has been on the elusive side for the previous 5 days. Phone calls and ‘try-bys’ were becoming ineffective. On Saturday evening (I was on exchange in Crosby), elder Wolfert felt inclined to leave a note designed to prompt Richard back to activity. The next day as we anxiously waited for our investigators at church, Richard hustled into the foyer wrapped in a large winter coat. He thanked us for the note and seemed more than pleased to be at church. We’re grateful for this tender mercy of the Lord. He’s back on track again now.
Church really is such a beneficial environment. We are encouraged to teach people how revelation been be received during church. This is a principle I have grown to cherish myself. During elder’s quorum, Brother Bogh was teaching about the importance of parental examples and many things he mentioned deeply touched Richard. He expressed this to us and politely asked for ‘a strength for youth pamphlet.’ He felt the lesson really addressed some concerns he had.
It’s a progressive moment when you see investigators applying the gospel!! It’s a great sign.
I was very grateful to go on exchange with an old companion this week… elder Moses! He’s a district leader in our zone training a new missionary. Their area has been a bit more on the testing side this past transfer. Even though the weather was not ideal, the streets seemed to come alive with interested, genuine people as we chased and sprinted after those in the distance. The lord provided us with a prepared man named Gary who agreed to be taught at a bus stop. He voiced some concerns but gained a perspective of his life during our discussion.
Another blessing this week… I passed my theory test with flying colors! I just have a practical test next month and I’ll be done!
Much much love
Elder Kersey
