This last week was amazing!! We found so many great investigators this past week. One lady we talked to investigated the church 20 years ago and was going to be baptized but some weird stuff happened and she ended up not joining but she said recently she wanted to learn again and a few days later we talked to her on the streets. And also her 13 year old daughter wants to learn and they have been reading the Book of Mormon.
We also found a family with 9 kids!! Both the Mom and Dad have been asking a lot of questions. We will be seeing them tomorrow night.
As you might have heard, I received a call from President Woodbury on saturday and he asked me to be a district leader here in New Albany and also to train another missionary. So sadly Elder Jensen will be leaving me after just a short 12 weeks together. But I am excited to lead the district here and to train another greenie. President Woodbury will be leaving this friday, so I am really grateful that he saw that potential in me to be a leader. President Brough will be coming in this friday and Im kinda nervous haha.
OH!! WE FOUND LEILONI!!!!!!!! On wednesday we got a text from her phone saying that she was in the hospital and they gave us her number and so we called her! We haven't heard from her in almost 2 weeks! We went up to the hospital the next morning and gave her a blessing and that night she had her baby! So she is back home now and is up and walking around fine so hopefully pretty soon she will be getting baptized!
Last night we went to the monthly fireside over in Louisville. It was amazing. Missionaries bring recent converts and investigators and they have a few talks and then they have a tesimony meeting. Those are some of THE most powerful testimonies I have ever heard. To hear these peoples stories and then to see them up in front of a congregation saying that they know the Book of Mormon is true and that their lives are so much better and happier, is amazing. I feel like if any non member were at that meeting, they would be converted in that meeting. Thats how strong the spirit is, in that meeting.
So time is FLYING right now. Hit my 10 months marks this week and the days are shooting by. By the time I leave this area I will be over a year out. Crazy... My trainer Elder Crook is going home this week. We will get to see him at transfer meeting tomorrow so that will be nice.
Quote of the week: "Be the missionary that your investigators deserve." I love it.
I love you all!
Elder Eastin
