Week 43
Time flies when you're having a great time! We have already gone through one week of this new transfer. I can't believe it's almost Halloween!
We continue to move forward with our friends with a baptismal date. Something we have definitely seen is right when we put a baptismal date with someone, there is some type of problem that arises. Why? It is because Satan doesn't want people to be baptized, so he will put whatever obstacle in front of us to make sure the baptism doesn't happen. Sometimes it works, and the person doesn't get baptized. But when the person pushes through, it makes it even more special. We also make sure with every person that has a date that they are going to be a true convert, not just a number for us. It's truly all about showing love, getting the members involved, and showing actual interest in the people.
This week we got to meet a ton of people and we have many good outlooks. It is something really awesome when people tell us they've received direct revelation and answers from God that they want to continue talking with us and that the things we teach are true. But almost every time, the person passes through a trial to gain that answer. Something we've also talked about as a companionship is that when things are going going, we are going to face a ton of opposition, just like our friends when they want to change. It is great we always have this in mind, so when the trial, opposition, or obstacle comes, a discussion happens, or a problem arises, we are prepared and know we need to just push through.
I know that opposition is necessary. Without the trial, faith couldn't be gained. Always have to keep pushing forward.
Love, Elder Collin Steele
