This last week has been great! I had an exchange with my Zone Leaders who are just amazing. Elder Bennion has about a month left of his mission, so there's not much that he hasn't experienced out here. He gave me a lot of really good tips on how to be a better missionary.
This week I have really increased my faith in finding new people. As a zone we are really focusing on finding the elite, so he have dropped many of our investigators because they were not progressing. WE DONT HAVE THE TIME when investigators don't keep their commitments. It is a waste of our time and also theirs! As missionaries we only have such a small part in someone's eternal progression. We could keep teaching these people until our faces go blue, but nothing good would come out of it. I'm still learning to be patient and realize that the Lord is constantly working on them, so we have to understand that its in the Lords time that these people's hearts will be softened and not in our time.
I have also been focusing on Christlike Charity and Love. When you learn to truly love someone, your desire to share the gospel with them increases.
Steven is getting baptized! This will be the first baptism we have had in our District in about three months! His date is set for the 25th, and I'm pretty sure Elder Jenkins and I are going to "double baptize" him. Meaning, we both dress in white and get in the font! How amazing would that be! I didn't even know that was possible! ha ha
Miracles are still being wrought each and every day and so I'm feeling confident that this next week we will find the people who are ready to just cannonball into the font this month.
Love you all! Talk to you next week!
Elder Greenlaw
