Hey!
This past week has been great! Elder Smith and
I are always just amazed at what the Lord blesses us with as we go about doing
his work. Elder Smith and I have been companions for about 3 transfers now. A
companionship is like a a new pair of underwear. At first it is constricting,
and then it becomes a part of you. Elder Smith is that underwear. We have been
working together for a little while and we have loved every minute of it. As of
now you are probably thinking that one of us is getting transferred here soon.
That seems to be the truth!
Transfers are already coming up quick and we
are just keeping up. This past week we had the opportunity to meet with the
Zone Leaders and have another MLC. Taking all that we learned from Elder Packer
and the recent Zone Conferences, the meeting turned out great! The whole focus
of the meeting was on becoming a Full Purpose Missionary or a Fourth
Missionary. It turned out great! We were able to start the meeting off great,
thanks to our heavenly father.
Sorry this email will be pretty short. This
last week we were able to go see Rocky again. We went by after the saturday
general priesthood meeting. It was just a usual visit until we followed up on
his reading and progression toward baptism. The response that we received was
pretty funny and out of the ordinary. He simply said, "yeah, how do I go
about this baptism thing?" I would love to give all of you the opportunity
to meet Rocky. He is one of the funniest investigators we've had. So we ended
up setting a date on the week of his birthday this upcoming month and we will
be working with him as much as we can to prepare him. It has been an incredible
experience just being able to watch. This weekend he was able to attend a
session of general conference and he enjoyed it. He was a little sleepy but
luckily he was able to catch the prophets words. From what he told us he
enjoyed what he saw. It was pretty funny. As Rocky was dozing off in the middle
of the morning session he actually fell on Elder Smith. One loud snore and then
bam! Elder Smith was helping him back upright and he was awake for a few more
minutes. haha
The week has been great! General conference was
fantastic.We will talk to you next week!
Love,
E. Archibald
