About
a month ago our ward mission leader told us he felt that we should go work in
Kidwelly, a little village about 8 miles from here. So we've gone there once a
week since then, via train. It didn't seem like anything was happening at
first, but now we've got an investigator there and we should have to more this
week. Well, sort of. One of them actually lives in the middle of nowhere a mile
and a half outside the village. We met him in kidwelly when he got of the bus
there with his groceries and started walking home. We started walking with him,
and got halfway to the middle of nowhere talking to him until we got him to
stop so I could give him a pamphlet and set up a return appointment ("its
the only house on the left hand side about a mile further up this road" he
said). So we're going to bring the bikes this Wednesday and find his house so
we can teach him. I hope he is as willing to make the long trek into town
for church as he is for doing his shopping. We've been struggling a bit in
getting new investigators as we have been spending time teaching the ones we
have--I think that's something I don't really have figured out yet but
hopefully I will sometime. But we should have some new ones this
week. It will be awesome.
In
other news, if everything goes well, I will baptize our friend Alex this Saturday,
November 2nd. It should be very good. I'm still unsure about how good of an
idea it is to baptize a 13 year old without any of his family, but we have
prayed and felt that it is the right thing to do. Hopefully seeing his baptism
will help his mum have the motivation to quit smoking and get baptized herself,
and maybe it will help his sister to admit some belief in God at all. Its going
to be an amazing week though, as usual, especially with Elder Thurgood. He is
the man. We are really similar and have loads of fun together. Its good. Keep
being awesome everyone.
Love,
Elder
