Another Week (June 24, 2013)

It was an alright week this week, but looking back I cannot remember what really happened. We only taught three lessons. One was to the Schizophrenic guy. We are going to have to drop him because his mental capacity does not really allow him to fully understand the Gospel. We had a hard time teaching him about Joseph Smith, he could not really comprehend who he was. A little sad, but we know that he will accept the Gospel in the next life because of the steps he has already taken now. We also taught the woman who was excited about the Book of Mormon. She had not read it, so we read 3 Nephi 11 with her, and it was really good. She really enjoyed reading from it and she says she already knows it is true. That is good that she says that, but many times when investigators say that, because to really come converted they need to pray to receive that strong spiritual witness. She said she was going to come to church, but cancelled Sunday morning. We will hopefully catch them early this week be able to teach her more, and hopefully get the husband more interested. Our highlight of the week was when an eternal investigator came to church and brought a friend along. She used to come quite often, and had a baptismal date, so we are working with her slowly to see how we can help her. We are continuing to work and last week we were able to find heaps of potential investigators, so hopefully this week we will be able to turn them into investigators.

I also gave my second talk on my mission yesterday. This one was a 20 minute one and I was surprised it actually turned out alright. I can see that my public speaking is improving which surprised me a bit since I haven't given many talks, but I guess I am talking all day so I guess it would naturally improve.

So I did find the ocean, but it is really weird. There is no beach, just dirt and then plants growing in the water, which really confuses me. I also find it weird how there is a road, on one side is Karratha, and the other is the bush where nobody lives.
