We
had a long week but it was still good and successful. we got stood up
by like 10 people which was kind of frustrating but that's the nature of
the work I guess. People say come back tomorrow at 3:00, then decide to go camping all that day and to top it off, they leave a "Strait up Luciferian" to watch the house and answer the door when the missionaries come. Classic! Not super impressed though...
We met the new mission president on Saturday!
He's a good guy, a convert himself. He has a super cool picture of
himself when he was going to be set apart as a mission president and the
missionaries who baptized him back 40 years before were there with a
couple members of the seventy. The work we do here and the friendships
me make will last a long time!
Lyle
got married at 1:00 A.M. today! just 11 more days until the baptism. We
were able to show the Joseph Smith movie to Len, but his wife had to go
to down to Edmonton unexpectedly to a sick friend in the hospital.
Darn, but it was still great and the spirit was strong when we watched
it. I was able to bear my testimony of the prophet Joseph Smith and I
know Len certainly was touched by it all. The Fam is doing well, Bev has
picked out a wedding dress which is good news. We also picked up a
former investigator couple out in Widewater, about 20 minutes out of
town. They are great folks and lots of fun to teach. The wife has no
Christian background, except for what the Elders have taught her. Both
of them seem to clearly remember a great deal about the Book of Mormon
and were a decent way into. We were able to answer some questions and we
have a return appointment for next Monday which is great! I've sent pictures of their sweet redneck hot tub separately, but it's awesome.
Well,
that's about all I have for this week! This week is going to be busy
and we'll probably drive 1000 kilometers between Faust at the other end
of Slave Lake to Wabasca and to Edmonton for a Zone Training Meeting. My
goodness. Have a wonderful week.
Love,
Elder Higginson
