This week got pretty cold here in buffalo. But our work is still red hot from being in the fire and flames that it takes to mold people's character. We almost got to finish moving ourselves into our new apartment today but we will have to do the rest some other time.
They are going to try to impliment Facebook back into our mission but we don't know when yet.
We have raised the standard of our mission and this week our area did well at meeting the goals. 5 of the people in our area made it to church which made for a interesting Sunday because we were running around trying to make sure everything got taken care of for them.
Angel May, the woman that wants to be baptized on the 21st, has been really busy with other things and so we haven't been able to meet with her so we are meeting with her three times this week. She is so prepared and she is already inviting friends to hear the gospel.
Anaklet invited his older brother Freddie to church without our knowing and so they were both there. Freddie is a really happy guy and he speaks French better then Anaklet so he was able to converse with some of the Canadian members and the young men from the Kongo. Anaklet is doing awesome.
We are meeting with a man named Zell Gamon that is struggling with the lose of his wife. He is in his late 40s early 50s and he has met with missionaries on and off since the 90s. He is a super down to earth guy and realizes how much he has been blessed to be living the life he lives. He is a drag racer and very well off and also a school bus driver which because of something's in his past he should never have been able to do all the stuff he does. We told him that he may have heard the message before and it may sound similar but it will have a different ring behind it.
The first lesson with him was super powerful. We had prepared a little bit but it was completely guided by the spirit. It was a lesson on the restoration infused deeply with the plan of salvation, emphasising agency. He promised to pray about it and he knows that God will answer him because he has received answers before. I can't wait to hear back.
The event that led us to find him was asking someone who regected us, who they knew that could use our message. (Remember to ask for referrals from everyone)
Just remember it doesn't matter how much time you have allotted to do something if the Lord would have it done then it will be done.
Always ask yourself
Is all well in my zion?
