A Fun Fast Week

Hey,

So this was an exciting week we had the privilege of hearing from Elder Martino from the second quorum of the seventy. He was awesome he brought some new ideas that we as missionaries can use to better involve the members here. To start the week we had the opportunity to have a lesson with Amada where we helped her continue in her reading of the Book of Mormon. Then on Wednesday is when we were instructed by Elder Martino. It was awesome we were first trained by President and Sister Cutler where they both talked about our responsibilities and how we can magnify our callings. Then we were pleasured to hear from Sister and Elder Martino, they talked about how much the Cutler's love us and how much they believe that they are extremely inspired. Then he talked about how we can use the Less-Active members in the area to help the work progress. They were awesome they also inspired us to work better with the ward council. I truly loved them and the insight that they shared with us for what we can do to progress the work. I am truly excited for the opportunity to learn from them and now excited to apply what I have learned. That was truly awesome. It is interesting to think of the potential that we have as missionaries to help out the wards here in Wisconsin and then when I go home and apply it where I live. Thursday we were on exchanges, I was with Elder Sanders, we had an inspired lesson with a guy that we had met last Saturday. Brett had read a little from the Book of Mormon and that he didn't really understand it, so we talked a little bit about his life and he was a very interesting person. He has been to jail for drug use but he looks back and says that that was stupid and that he wants to learn more about God and Jesus Christ. So we taught him about, who better to talk about a wayward person than, Alma the younger. We read Mosiah 27, and you could just see that it touched him very deep. He is on parole right now but we hope he is going to continue to learn more. Also on Thursday we had a lesson Amada about the temple and eternal families, she is doing well but we may have a hick-up for the 30th but we hope not. This week has been a great one we had a bunch of fun and a bunch of great lessons and we are excited to look forward to even better weeks ahead, I hope you are having a great day and have an awesome week.

 

Love you all,

Elder Robert Pike
