Zone Temple Day
I didn't thank you last week so I will now: Thanks for the
presents. I use that pen all the time and even wrote in my journal just
so I could use it more. The Star Wars shirt is also getting used. I can't
remember right now what other presents I got but they were all good.
We weren't able to see D this week but we met with
another investigator. His name is I. He is trying to figure out
if he is on the right path and decided to investigate the church. He
promised to read and pray and seemed really sincere. The only problem is that he lives an hour away and there aren't a lot of YSA's near
him. He was planning to go to church yesterday in Atlantic, the closest
building to him, but we haven't received word whether he did or not.
We were able to go to the temple on Friday. One of the
nice things of being back near Omaha.
We had a really busy week but in spite of that we didn't
make a lot of progress. I have rarely felt the opposition more clearly
than in this area. I hope that the difficulty means that we are on the
right track. A lot of the people who have joined the church here in the
past went on to serve missions and serve actively in the church. I think
that the adversary really want this area to remain unproductive.
We have seen a number of miracles last week. We are
focused on asking for referrals and talking to every YSA (Young Single Adult) we see. Some of
the members we are working with couldn't come up with any names of people they
could invite, even with us asking specific questions. We promised that if
the focused on sharing the gospel as they read and prayed that they would know
who they should invite. Yesterday we saw that invitation start to bear
fruit. One of the members had been approached at work with questions
about the church a few days after we had invited her to find someone to share
the gospel with. Then during a meeting with another member at the student
center we were interrupted by a former investigator we had never met who wanted
to talk to us. He didn't have a phone but he committed to come to an
activity!
Love you,
Elder Stapley
