Dear Family,
This week was great! So here we go!
Transfers:
I got a new companion, and he is also a Zone Leader with me! THAT IS
THE BIGGEST BLESSING! His name is Elder Munkhbold, age 26. He has been
out for about 6 months and is a stud. Super mature and super funny and
relaxed and also has such a strong testimony and knowledge of the
Gospel. We are good friends already, and he tells me everyday that,
"Every time I see you, Elder Harris, I start to remember the $$ I lost
in Vegas. The dealer told me to go all in, and funny thing is, he looked
just like YOU!" It is super funny. He is also the Mongolian
Wrestling Champion for the 65 KG weight class. Stud.
Baptism:
We had an 8 year old baptism this week of a member family that we are
working with in getting the wife re-activated. Great family. My
companion and I taught all the lessons to the boy. His name is Timuugin
and is a great kid. The baptism was great too!
Zone Conference:
Yesterday we had Zone Conference, an all-day Conference with
President, the AP's (assistants to the President), and the STLs (Sister
Training Leaders). Our STL's are Sister Hansen and Sister Sneddon from
my MTC group, so that is cool! We prepared a great hour and a half
lesson on using the scriptures more in lessons, something we need to do
better at as a mission. We also emphasized the need to always leave
something behind when we leave a lesson.....a hand booklet, the Book of
Mormon, homework, etc., and teaching unitedly with your companion. It
was a great lesson, if I do say so. Sister Benson even came up and
complimented us. :) Sister Hansen and Sneddon did a great job! They
are some of the best in the mission. I love President
Benson! He is the most chosen man on this planet.
Investigators: We have B.........., who is great! We meet with her a lot! She is working hard to quit smoking, so please pray for that! April 30th
is the date, and we will make it, I know it. She loves the church, and
told us she believes the Book of Mormon and the Church are true. She
came to three sessions of General Conference this past weekend and felt
that everything that was spoken was meant for her. We gave her a
blessing Sunday
for strength to overcome the adversary in her life. Her lessons are
always so spiritual! I love being a missionary and an instrument in the
Lord's hands, helping people like B.............. find the truth.
General Conference:
Well, what can I say! It was great! I just sat there and told
myself, "This is all so true, there's no denying!" My favorite talk was
by Elder Holland. The Atonement is so amazing. I loved the story he
told about the two brothers in Southern Utah. I thought of my two older
brothers who caught me at a most critical time in my life, and how they
were right there to grab me when I took a huge leap of faith a few
years back, and them not letting me fall. I am changed forever by the
blood of my Savior, which he personally shed a few drops for me.
The Church is true. If anyone who reads this doesn't know this like I do, please ask, knock, and find.
Love,
Elder Harris
