This past week was amazing. We have a few wonderful people on date for baptism. A girl whose family was being taught by Spanish speaking elders, but doesn't speak much Spanish, got passed on to us to teach. She accepted baptism for the 17th! Our newest addition is a 19 yr. old Navajo boy. We're helping him quit smoking and he is pumped about getting baptized the week of Christmas. We have great potential all over the place.
I don't think I told you all about the training Elder Byrd and I gave at leadership training. We were assigned to train on "effective personal study". We themed the training around Quidditch, and started off by riding around on brooms and singing the Harry Potter Theme song pretending to seek the snitch! We related it to how we need to "seek" the Lord's will for our investigators as we study, and how revelation will flow as we seek the right things in our studies. My Ashburn Virginia friends would be so proud. We made a little snitch and threw that around when people would raise their hands to talk, it was great!
Working with singles is still a thrill, they are so willing to help us. This past week we took some investigators to temple square with all the lights, they really progressed that night. We have a small group of people from the ward there to support them, everything went according to plan. Next Saturday Elder Oaks will speak to our mission at our Christmas Devotional. This will be my first time meeting an apostle, I'm super nervous, but excited.
That's my week, pray no snow comes!
Love,
Elder Scotty
