This last week I am proud to say we worked ourselves as hard as we could and the Lord saw fit to bless us with 2 new investigators, and a Baptismal Date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This last week was fantastic!!!!!!!!
We didn't get a single investigator this transfer until this last week. And, I was excited to work with them. And, even though I will be in the neighboring area Dong-Hae, I will be able to continue working with one of the new investigators over there, because he lives in that area.
I was glad that we found new people to teach, but the highlight of the week was definitively getting the Baptismal Date!
He is a Youth, named Jung Mean, and has gone to FSY (For the Strength of the Youth) conference and to church more than 18 times already.
When we were teaching the youth in Sunday School, the Spirit was giving us the promptings throughout the whole thing, and it work well. The way I extended the baptismal invitation was different than I had ever done before. I kept in mind Elder Stevenson's statement of how you need to also have the 2nd baptismal date (at the temple) to retain the converts and keep them always reaching for the temple. And, so I asked our investigator if he would prepare to go to the temple with us as a branch in the coming months.
He said yes, and it lead to, "Okay! So this is what we've got to do to get you to the temple."
He had been asked to be baptized before, but didn't accept it. I think that it is because he didn't see the full picture! Seeing the end Goal of going to return to Heavenly Father's presence as one big family helped him to know what he needs to do!
I love this work!!! I have learn so much from being here in Taebaek!!! I have gotten a lot closer to the members, investigators and the less actives, more than other areas, and I want to continue that in Dong-Hae!
i AM GOING TO BE zONE leADER IN dONGHAE!!!
