There is so much to say! Okay, so first... D.. S... has a baptismal date for the 25th of January! She said she had been putting it off, coming unto Christ, but now she is taking the journey! :)
Will you keep her in your prayers? :)
M... and A.. can get married!!!!! A lteast I think, we'll let you know next week :)
We are going to try to teach D...'s mom who lives in Guam over skype!! :)
I was asked to play the piano at a conference with 2 other missions where Elder Holland is speaking!
I get to accompany a singer, and play prelude music!! :)
We are working hard to get member involvement. The starting point is the Bishop. He holds the keys to missionary work in this area, and we are here to help him! It was an idea and plan the Bishop brought forth. And it is going well. We have had much more of a variety of member involvement and also of people who know the members being involved in teaching situations.
That is an amazing missionary experience Mom! She is ready... Pray, listen, then act. Counsel with others on how to best extend invitations. And get the missionaries involved as soon as possible! :) I love hearing about those experiences! :)
Do not fear inviting them to listen to the missionaries! God is with you :)
Elder Ballard's conference talk this year was amazing about member missionary work! He talked about a family that prayed together, and they had their own TEACHING POOL! I want to have that as a family when I'm older! :) That will be amazing! :)
I love the work out here, and I know The Lord loves us! Keep our investigators in your prayers!
I want to send some fun stuff haha...
Brother L... is so funny! I love his personality and he speaks spanish! He makes me laugh a ton! I love laughter and not worrying about things, but the mission is so hard to find that balance! But it's a work in progress :) Another funny thing hmm... ???
The Atonement is real. Jesus is The Christ. We can return to live with Him again. He loves us so much :)
Revelation is truly letting us know who The Father is, that is our quest for Eternal Life :)
Transfers are soon, I might be leading the area... :0
Nervous, yes. Excited, yes.
Hope you all have a great week, let me know what I can do for you other than pray :)
Love,
Elder Apsley :)
Oh and this is a list of suggestions for the mission prep teachers back home. If you wouldn't mind giving it to someone who goes to mission prep to give to them?
-have the missionaries learn to memorize the 10 how to begin teaching bullet points.
-have them learn to write up Lesson Plans and Role Play them
-use the pmamphlets produced by The Church for the first three lessons in Preach My Gospel
Just some things that have helped me :)
