Week #57

Hello Everyone,

Well, this was an eventful week.

Monday: Okay, time to start it off. So it turned out to be a good day. We taught one of our daters and she is doing great and on track to be baptised on Sunday. Then we went to a Family Home Evening at the family of a return missionary. Her parents are not members and the branch wanted to introduce us to them. We will see how it goes.

Tuesday: It was Zone Conference again. It turned out really well. I think though that my interview with President Smith was the shortest it has ever been. But, he is a really busy man. We found out the he has the Assistant to the President all planned out until the new mission president comes in. That is a long time! We taught our English class, Too bad it rained. But it was fun anyways.

Wednesday: We had quite a few lessons planned for the day and all but 2 fell through. It was pretty disappointing. We did teach Nuot, and she is doing well. Just is needing to wait to get married to her boyfriend or not. Then we taught the woman from Monday again. A really good lesson as well.

Thursday: Unfortunately, only 1 lesson for the day. We did have an excellent weekly planning. It turned out well and I feel really prepared for next week and teaching. We taught a girl that came from the English class. She is 15, lives with her uncle and aunt and her mom lives 40 km from the city. The uncle has no problems with her learning and we still need to talk to the aunt and the mom. Other than that, we gave her a baptismal date for the 18th of June. I pray that everything will work out. Since she began learning, she has not missed a day of church and is making good friends with the members.

Friday: So I got to go on an exchange with Elder Nelson in my area! That was way fun. We taught 5 lessons in total and had some great experiences. This is the first time since the MTC that I have been in the same district as him. We are pretty good friends. Almost exactly the same person.

Saturday: We taught a couple of lessons. Taught one man in the morning for a short lesson in reading from the Book of Mormon. We also taught the girl from English again. Good lesson on the Plan of Salvation.

Sunday: Ah, 2 baptisms in the Sisaket branch. It was a great experience and even a members 8 year old daughter was baptised. It was most excellent. We also got a referral from a member. He is her son and he is 13. We set a date with him for the 10th of July. It takes so long because we have a lot to teach and he is free only on weekends.

Well that is all for this week!

Love,
Elder Ackerman
