HEY! how's it be in good ol' Dixie? Things are just booming up here. I have alot to tell this week! Last Wednesday we taught seminary from 6:30am to 2:30pm! it was a very long day! We had 6 classes and a total of 200 or so kids that we taught that day. it was alot of work!
We visited a less-active lady named Sis. Mickler on Monday and it was a very good lesson! Sis. Mickler's non-member daughters were there. We were teaching them about the Plan of Salvation and Sis. Mickler said that her kids weren't baptized and then she turned to them and asked them if they wanted to be baptized! it was awesome. They are going to let us know tonight! its very exciting. I can't wait.
Laura Knight found someone for us to teach. It was Ian's Occupational Therapist, (aka nurse is what Laura calls her) it is really funny hahaha. Her name is Linda. At first when we chatted with her she practically was bashing with us and stuff and she set a return appointment with us to have dinner and then a lesson. We went in thinking it would be a total gong-show and bible bashing fest but it wasnt' that at all. It was actually very enjoyable. We just casually talked and shared opinions on our beliefs etc. It was very neat. This Sunday we have an appointment to meet with her again and she chose the topics False Prophets, Apostasy, and Children of God. I can't wait until Sunday :)
Yesterday we went to a members home for dinner that we challenged them to find someone for us to teach in 7 days and they had their neighbor over for dinner and we taught him and he said that we got him very interested in the book of Mormon and we gave him one in french that we had with us. It was awesome! we are meeting with them again next week.!
Our stake brought this exhibit called Reflections of Christ and had it on display for 4 days! we got to help set it up and everything. it was really neat. we had over 1500 people come through it. It was amazing. www.reflectionsofchrist.org or www.anothertestament.com it was an amazing display. You should have President Henderson see it on the website and think about it. It is based out of Mesa AZ. I met the cousin of the photographer. wow is all i have to say.
2 weeks ago we went to some other churches in our area and invited them to reflections of Christ and one of the Youth pastors came and said he'd come to our event if we came to his so we did and he came to ours! it was very cool seeing him come to ours. His was very weird. it was like walking into a coffee shop and no feeling of love or anything. It was weird, then this girl tried bible bashing with us and we used the bible to disprove her and then gave her a book of Mormon and i challenged her to disprove it haha it was funny. So she took one and we'll be meeting with her on next Sunday.
Brad Chernenko's (investigator) Daughter Danica got baptized last Saturday. I could tell it was a hit home for him. The spirit defiantly was there.
well it has been a very full week and we got about 25 lessons which is very good for our small area.
I hope everyone at home is doing great! Love you!,Elder Norman
