To start the week was a pretty normal P-day. Except we had to do interviews at 1:30 so we spent 3 hours of it driving to Montpelier and back. There were donuts provided so it was mostly worth it.
Since we had reduced time we were literally running from place to place trying to get our laundry and shopping etc.
That night we taught Al, a sweet guy that we met earlier last month. We extended a baptismal date to him for the 5th and he accepted! We helped him understand why a restoration was necessary and he understood that truths of the gospel had been lost after thousands of years of darkness.
Tuesday was awesome! It was our New-missionary training meeting at the Joseph Smith birthplace memorial. We got to do yard work on the grounds all day on Tuesday and that Tuesday night we had a devotional at camp Joseph around a campfire. It was pretty cool. All the Elders got to stay in the camp Joseph in the individual cabins. It was awesome to sleep in a sleeping bag in the cold again!
Wednesday we did our meeting which was about how to not ruin the new missionaries and help them focus etc. It was a really uplifting experience.
We did some pretty normal stuff on Thursday and helped a member get some stuff from the store.
This member is amazing! He used to write "Mormon apologetics" for a different church. He came to find the truth because he realised that the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints was the closest to Christ's church that he could find. It's more complicated than that but it is amazing. He used to interview and ask missionaries questions about the faith that he would then write books on etc.
He talked about how he got to interview president Hinckley and how humble he was.
We did some awesome exchanged with the Newport Elders and found some awesome people.
I got to go with Elder Taylor from Havre Montana!
We had a great week and can't wait for another!
I know this is God's work and that I have seen literal miracles.
I love you and hope you have a great week!
Elder Connor Starr
