Family!
Another Dayton week!
We got to go to the
temple again this past week. It was so great! I'm so glad that
there are so many temples close to where we live. To get to the Columbus
temple it's almost an hour long drive. I can't wait to go more frequently
when I'm home.
I went on an exchange
with Elder Shiffler in my district this last week. He is a very diligent
missionary. He came down to Dayton with me and we had a really good
day. We taught a few lessons with a returned missionary from Guatemala,
raked some leaves for a member, and got some shrimp from a lady from Acapulco.
We went finding this
week in a different way than usual. One of our Mexican friends invited us
to come play soccer with him and his friends at a large indoor soccer
place. We went and played with about 25 people, and all but 3 of them
spoke Spanish! They were super good! All of my training for the
last year prepared me to only be able to touch the ball a few times on the
field! But it went well, and we met a lot of people.
One of our less active
members had an awesome missionary experience this week. She was at a
party with some of her friends, and the conversation topic turned to
religion. She explained to her friends a little bit about the plan of
salvation, and then she invited them to church. One of them ended up
coming! It was a really good example of member missionary work.
When opportunities to share our beliefs arise, we should take them. And
then we should make an invitation. People won't always accept our
invitations, but the real measure of our success is whether we invited or
not. If we are continually making invitations, sooner or later someone
will accept!
The Book of Mormon is
from God, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ changes lives!
Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Foote
