We
have a recent convert here, a very nice girl in her early 20s. Shes been
taught all the recent convert lessons so we've been trying an
experiment. Wéve been teaching her about the history of the early
saints! It has actually worked out really well. We teach her in in the
Parks apartment and the two of them assist us in the teaching. She
really seems to be enjoying her life now that she's embraced the gospel.
The family that we've been working with has
been experiencing a lot of sickness and troubles with extended family.
therefore, we have not been able to teach them much in the past week.
Once we get the parents married, well have six baptisms. It's kind of
nuts, we might not even have enough baptismal clothing in the church to
get it all done at once. What a terrific dilemma eh. Sorry, the silly
computer I'm using will not allow me to use the question mark key or a
number of other ones. Hopefully one of these days something will happen
there and we can double the size of this little branch.
The
town of Slave Lake burned to the ground back in 2011, or at least a
large portion of it. We're suppose to have a pretty bad summer coming
for fires so the fire department has been burning controlled tracts of
grass around the town for the past week. Hence the title of this
email.
We were able to stop by a Filipino potential last week whom the missionaries tracted into a long time ago,
but never taught. Turns out that was a good thing because he speaks
hardly any English and understands just about as much. We were able to
teach him in Tagalog and help him to understand the restoration and
Book of Mormon. I've taught a bit to Elder Hunsaker as well and he was
able to contribute a couple phrases and words. He said he'll be baptized
if he finds the book to be true.
Well folks, not too much else to report! I'm doing well and the work moves forward.
Love Elder Higginson
