This week was great!! It's been really hot and muggy here lately, but I still prefer it over the freezing cold! I can't believe we're already about halfway through the year!! Time sure does fly.
We had a Zone Meeting on Friday to start the transfer off and set some goals. We gave some trainings about faith and getting investigators to church, and it was a really good training. I'm excited about all the missionaries in our zone this transfer and I'm hopeful that we'll have a lot of success
We had some really great lessons with E lately about the Plan of Salvation. She is really progressing well, it's just that J is holding her back quite a bit. She wants this for her self really bad and she said that no matter what she will continue, but J just doesn't have the same kind of commitment. He says he wants to be baptized and all that, but his actions say different. We may just have to let him be for now and focus on E. The problem is, they're always fighting now and having a lot of relationship problems, so E isn't so sure she wants to marry him anymore. We're still working on getting them both to come to church, but J is progressing very slowly.
We got a text from A this week telling us she was going to get baptized for sure and that she decided she was done smoking so we were pretty excited!! But to our disappointment, we set up an appointment with her and then she flaked out and hasn't responded yet. It's been quite the roller coaster with our investigators, but we're hanging in there.
Yesterday, we had a fireside called "Why I Believe". It's a meeting where a lot of the recent converts in the stake are invited to speak and share their conversion with others and it's great! Our zone put together a musical number for Pres. and Sis. Cleveland since it's their last month in the mission. We did a medley of "God Be With You Till We Meet Again" and "We'll Bring the World His Truth." It went really well and the Clevelands loved it!! This week Pres. and Sis. Cleveland will tour the mission and go to different Stake centers to meet with the missionaries to give us all a final farewell. It's weird to see them go!!
I hope you guys had a great time in Japan! I'm sure it's great to be back in the US!! Tell Zach to enjoy it while he can ;) I'll talk to you next week!!
Love,
Elder Thayne
