Hi everyone, January
18, 2016
We had a great week! We had a lot of less active members that
we were previously working with show up to church on Sunday. It was awesome to
see them again, and this week we'll be visiting all of them!
I heard about the Seahawks losing, sounds like the 2nd half of
it was a good game. Oh well, it's about time someone new won the NFC ;) hahaha
I would rather be home to see them win again anyways.
I was reading this morning about the new temple down in Provo.
The story behind that building is pretty interesting, I would encourage all of
you to check it out! Sister Spendlove, our mission president's wife, took some
classes at that building while she was attending BYU.
We found some new investigators this week, along with some new
less actives. We've been jumping around different apartment complexes visiting
members and new move-ins because it's a new year and a new semester for school,
so there are a ton of new members in some of our wards. It's been a great opportunity
to get to know the members better and it has provided excellent finding
opportunities for us. Its been going great so far!
The Luna Family, who got baptized in the Summer, have a son
named Alan. I started teaching him while I was in Rose Park and he's getting
baptized on Saturday! He's been taught by some Sister missionaries in our YSA
Stake, because he lives in their YSA area and he called me last night to ask me
to baptize him! YES!!! It's going to be awesome, I'm so excited to go to his
baptism on Saturday! I'll make sure to send pictures!
I had some amazing studies this week. I studied this talk by
Elder Oaks; https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1984/10/why-do-we-serve?lang=eng
make sure to check it
out!
Love,
Elder Derek Strate
