This week was great! Lots going on, it went by really really fast though!
Found out on Monday that we will be going to all the Zone Conferences
this week, so I will get to see all of the mission. Elder Cottle will
be doing some iPad training, we think. So Wednesday we will be in
Nazareth Pennsylvania, Thursday in Dover Delaware, Friday in Broomall,
Saturday in New Jersey. Should be a blast!
It was a good week. Saw the Tomlins. Saw the Caramandi's and a few
others. A few events really stick out though.
So Monday, we are shopping and get a text from a less active recent
convert, never really taught him. He asked us to come over and so we
set up an appointment for Tuesday. So when we saw them, (his wife is a
former investigator, who on the teaching record says is not
interested) we found out his wife really wants them to get back in
church and that her only hold up is coffee! We were short on time so
we set up another appointment for Saturday. On Saturday we had a great
lesson on the restoration. She probably said she knows the church is
true about 10 times! Still hung up on coffee, but when we mentioned
substitutes, she was all over that. She doesn't want a baptism date
yet, but she will be baptized soon.
The other thing that stands out. We haven't been able to contact Moe
in a while. So Friday, we finished lunch and decided to walk to the
post office to get the package Grandma and Grandpa sent and we ran right
into Moe. He told us he has been reading the Book of Mormon a lot and
feels the spirit really strong! He asked us when he could come to church
(got sick though :( ) and said he knows the book is true! Super
awesome! Hopefully we can start teaching him soon.
Also found out on Facebook that Brother Calcroft, a member from Philly
passed away last week. Pretty young guy two little kids. He was stung
by a bee and went into shock, then died. Pretty sad....
Well, it was a great week and I really can't give it all justice.
South Philly is awesome and it's a great blessing to be here with
Elder Cottle. Best area in the best mission!
Love ya all!
Love,
Elder Parker
