That’s right. Who, you might ask. I’ll give you some hints: This person is a boy. He is nine years old. Do you know who it is yet? His name is Julian.
This week, we taught him a great lesson on faith and the importance of relying on Jesus Christ. He was able to understand and relate the reading assignment we left him from the Book of Mormon. It was a great lesson and we were able to teach at his level to help him understand. At the end, we committed him to be baptized on the 30th of this month. However, that date is probably going to be changed because the primary in our ward is doing a trunk or treat that day. It is so exciting to see someone progress toward baptism. I’ve already seen Julian’s understanding grow and know that he will continue to learn more.
Other than Julian, we are in a drought. Things with Emily are the same as they have always been and other than her we have NO other investigators. We have tried not to tract this week which has forced us to be a little more creative with our finding, but no more successful. We have gone by lots of former investigators and old potential investigators but no one is interested.
Last week for P-day, we took the train up to New Haven and went to Yale with our district. It wasn’t bad but it isn’t something I’m dying to do again. First of all, when we got there, nobody had a plan or knew what we were doing so we just walked in a gigantic circle. I don’t think I have ever had to use a bathroom so badly in my life as I did then. We went into a Dunkin Donuts with a sign that said, “Bathroom for customers only” and the door locked. I asked the clerk, “Can I please use the bathroom? I PROMISE I’ll buy something”. Then she told me it was out of order. Then we went to Sub Way. They had a sign on their bathroom too but theirs said, “Out of order”. We made our way over to the bookstore and the clerk there told me that they didn’t have a bathroom but there was one next door at Educated Burger. I made my way over there and climbed the stairs to their bathroom. I stepped inside and it was literally smaller than airplane bathrooms, and dirtier. But at this point I had to remind myself that beggars can’t be choosers and thus ended my bathroom pilgrimage.
We went to the bookstore and I had hopes of getting a few souvenirs. However, a children’s hoodie was 50 bucks. No. Thank you. So, even though it was hard, I walked away purchase-free. Then we went to a pizza joint for a late lunch and jumped the train back home.
That’s all that is new with me. I love all of you and thank you for your support. Let me know how you are!
