Awesome Half Mission Conference with Elder Larry Echo Hawk

Hey Mom,

 

This week was, well slow, but still good. Basically after Veronique was Baptized we were back down to no one to work with. We have a a couple of people that have been investigating for a while and really are not making to much progress. Needless to day we are doing a lot of finding. We had a really awesome Half Mission Conference with Elder Larry Echo Hawk from the first quorm of the 70. That was a really cool conference. He was talking about how when he was first called as a 70 and how he was going to do his first mission tour and he was nervous because he is a convert and did not serve a mission. He didn't think that he could give advice to current missionaries. I forgot which Apostle it was that he was talking to but he told Elder Echo Hawk that he was a convert and therefore had an advantage. Totally true. Then he went on to talk a lot about how he came to know that the Book of Mormon was true and he talked about his experience with Prayer. That was really cool to hear. The conference was great.

 

We also had a really good lesson with the Jewish man Scott. Once again he asked a lot of sincere questions but were all hard to answer. He is doing his reading and in one week is in the 18th chapter of 1st Nephi. It will be a long process with him but if we continue to take members and he continues to read and pray and then start coming to church it will all work out. Nothing else really happened. Really slow week.  It was so fun to talk to you last week and to hear Trixie barking. 

 

Love you
