Thomas was baptized and confirmed, and Becky is pretty much set to go as well. I am so happy to see how Thomas has grown and changed. He really has grown for the better. His family is a huge source of continual support for him, and in one year, I'm coming back to the mid-west for Thomas and Nikki's sealing! :) They've already got a date and everything. I better get a job and start saving, because that's way important. 2013 is going to be a year of trips- I've got a Mission President's homecoming to go to, and a sealing. I think I might just tour around my mission when I come back out in 2013. We'll see.
So Elder Davis is getting transferred, and I am staying here in Kirksville. Our District Leader Elder Nelson is leaving too, because he is done training Elder Flint. So we've got a new DL this next transfer, and I'll have a new companion. I know I'll be senior companion still, and I'll probably be with him for 2 transfers. I wonder who he is??? Who is going to kill me???
The Nauvoo Pageant starts today. That's pretty sweet. REFERRAL SEASON IS HERE! I'm hoping to get an investigator to go to it. I can't go watch it again sadly, because we're only allowed to watch it once on your mission. But oh well, I'll come back someday and watch it. I love the Pageant, it is such an amazing show!
I discovered today that my electric shaver that I bought at the beginning of my mission does work. I didn't get to shave yesterday because I ran out of razors, and I needed to shave. I am manly and get pretty scratchy after a day of not shaving. But my electric razor made me not scratchy, and that was nice. So maybe electric shavers are worthy investments, because that way I won't mutilate my face. I don't like razors. They are not nice to my face as of late. But that's just because I have to be a cheap-o and buy what cheap-o's buy: cheap razors. :P
We picked up a new investigator too. His name is Ken, and is dating a less-active. It's a particular situation, but I'm not gonna talk about it- due to personal reasons for them.
But we talked to Ken like 3 weeks ago, and have been trying to get in contact with him for a while now. We were out doing work, and I felt we should drop by his place, and lo and behold! He was there on his porch having a smoke. We walked up and he was like "oh, you caught me." That's what the Lord does, you see? But anyways, we had a WAY sweet lesson, and set up a return appointment. As we talked to him, by the spirit that is, he opened up to us, and told us about how he really does want to come to church. He's wanted to come to church for a long time actually. He just doens't see any need to. But as we talked to him, we pointed out the spirit, after answering his questions, and he recognized that he felt the spirit. We are going to continue meeting with him, and we'll see what happens there.
In other news, I got a letter from one of my friends- Elder Barry, serving in the Brazil Brasilia mission. He's going home in a few weeks! That's way crazy, but awesome. Hopefully, I'll get mail from him more consistently now??? Or maybe other people will write? Because they realize I am desperate, because I'm talking about a letter I got.
Anyways, I'm done with this email.
Elder Prows is done with this email.
