Hello All,
WOW what a week, we have been so busy all week. We had Elder Carl B. Cook of the seventy come down to Port Elizabeth and it was great. We had an awesome zone conference with him and the Woods. It was all about true conversion to the Gospel. It was a really good conference and we learned a lot. It was sad because it was my last zone conference! Next one will be a zone training. So at your last zone meeting you bear your final testimony. This was Elder Cowey's last one because he leaves in the middle of next transfer. So he bore his testimony and also some other elders who are leaving and Elder and Sister Taylor. It was fetching sad. I hate change! I'm glad I still have a while before that! Or at least a few weeks.
We are teaching an awesome girl who is dating a return missionary in the ward. She is brought up Methodist but explains that she feels different when she comes to church with us and she loves it. She says she has leaned a lot. We taught her the other day at Brother and Ssister Parker's house. They are the BEST!!!!!! and actually its now President Parker he was called to the stake presidency. Anyways it was an awesome lesson and Sister Parker who was also raised Methodist bore powerful testimony! I think it really helped he. Also yesterday at stake conference we rushed up to the stand after and introduced her to Sister Wood (mission presidents wife), she is the best and was baptized the same age as our investigator. They talked for a good 20 min and it was really good. So we will see her on Friday again at the Parker's.
We are also teaching an awesome family. Its the one I told you about. They are doing so well and they are reading the Book of Mormon. Last night we taught a great lesson on prayer and so after the lesson we knelt down and the father offered an awesome prayer! He plead with God to tell him if what we were saying was true. After he just said I felt so peaceful. I just felt like he was listening!!!! It was so cool. they are pretty happy clappy so getting them to pray with out saying, "YES LORD or THANK YOU JESUS" was quite the task. Even though it seems so fun, I have had to stop my self from joining them hahahahaha if I didn't know that this WAS TRUE I would so be happy clappy hahahaha anyways they are doing great!
We are also teaching a cool catholic. I just had to mention that one for Oma :)!
I will tell you about the other guy next week he is doing great though and reading the Book of Mormon. He is a super genius and says he tried to prove the Book of Mormon wrong but couldn't, so now we are teaching him and its going awesome! So I will tell you about him next week.
We had stake conference this week with Elder Cook he called a new stake presidency. He called the First Black stake president in the mission! Cool ey? I saw some friends from Kwano, do you remember those two girls we fasted with a long time ago so their parents would let them get baptized. Well, I saw them at the conference and they are strong baptized members!!!!!! Its good to see that!
Well, I'm doing great you can tell summer is coming its been pretty warm. Except today it is cloudy and raining! Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYDIA< JENN< JODI< DEANN< and BROOKE> I think that is everyone? PS- that is honestly off the top of my head so if I forgot someone I'm really sorry.
I love you all, have a good week.
Love,
Colton
