Another week just flew by. But it was a really great week we were able to keep really busy and we did a lot teaching which was really great. We had more lessons this week than any other week since I've been in this area.
Things have been going really well with our new investigator, Kirk. Almost too well. we had a lesson with him last week and we had his next door neighbor, who is a member, come with us. We taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was a very powerful lesson. It was so nice teaching someone from ground zero. He doesn't really know anything about religion so he doesn't have to unlearn things. He was asking a lot of amazing questions too which made him even more easy to teach! So being able to teach him has really lifted my spirits a lot and has helped me to experience a lot of joy.
The ward is putting on a luau on the 6th of August. I'm so excited for it! It's such a great missionary opportunity. So we're going crazy with inviting members to invite their nonmember friends. I've seen so many great things come from these kinds of activities on my mission. Because it's such an easy way for members to share the gospel. Because who wouldn't want to come to a free luau? And the ward is getting really excited about it too. This ward is so great. Some of the best members I've ever met. It's been such pleasure to serve with these people.
We had zone conferences with President and Sister White this last week. It was really fun. They just had a slideshow about themselves and their family. Three of their kids were there. The White's are so awesome. It was a pretty chillaxed zone conference. And it was my very last one on my mission. So I gave my departing testimony. It was really weird doing that. Because throughout my whole mission I've seen other missionaries give their departing testimonies and I always thought how far away it was. But now it's here!
I love being on a mission. I'm doing everything I can to soak it all up. These last several weeks have been very rewarding and very joyful and I'm looking forward to these next few weeks to come.
Here's my scripture to ponderize this week: Article of Faith 11
"We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may."
I hope that all of you have a great week. I love you all!
Elder Scott
