Hello Everyone,
We had a great week: I got a 15 dollar suit from a thrift
store that fits perfect, an investigator couple is going to get married
soon so they can be baptized, we had the primary program, and Mesa was blessed
with a lot of rain.
We're teaching a family of 8 that really loves the church. The
parents aren't married yet, but we taught them the law of chastity lesson, and
they are thinking of marriage so that they can get baptized. Their kids sang in
the Primary program this week and the whole ward loves this family.
Speaking of the Primary Program, it was so cute. We had 8
investigators there and about 4 other nonmembers there for the first time. They
all loved it. The kids did a great job and the spirit was in their words. One
young boy had a short line to speak and when he had finished a small child in
the congregation said very audibly, "Is that it?!"
Also it rained…a lot. We got drenched. There was a lot of flooding
on the roads. Undaunted, we hopped on our bicycles and rode through the
floods while the rest of the world perished in the floods. One intersection had
so much water that it was half covering our bikes as we rode through them. This
means that all of our pedaling was done under the water level. My shoes still
have not dried all the way.
We are very busy. There are so many people to teach, and we find
more each week. This is a good ward for missionary work. The Phoenix Temple
Open House starts next week, and we are excited to take people there.
Also, next week, Meet the
Mormons comes out in select theaters. It is a full length film that tells
the story of 6 LDS families living throughout the world. We will view it
tomorrow so next week I can tell you more about it. But I highly recommend that
you go to see it if you are able to and that you tell others about it. I have
heard great things about it already, and I know that it will help a lot of
people to get to know who we are.
I hope you all have a great week.
Elder Kirk
