Well This weekend I was on cloud nine! Turru entered the
waters of baptism and it was amazing! Turru went from not having a clue who God
is to having a strong testimony in the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ! It was
amazing to watch his faith grow after these past 4 months into something
amazing and so strong! It was a stressful day but it turned into be the best
day ever! He was so happy afterwards and he invited some friends to come and
watch! He already is an amazing missionary! Then Sunday I had the
privilege of confirming him a member of the church and give him the Holy Ghost!
It was a great weekend! You could say I was on a spiritual high! So every week
our mission does a lil news letter and I want to share with you what we wrote
about him..
Turru has been elect from day one. His wife is a return
missionary and so are his 2 best friends.He
is from Mongolia and does not speak the best English, but we
used a mongolian Preach My Gospel
and a translator. We only had one option...Teach Simply. And
it worked. When Liberec got blinded
out the missionaries decided to visit every member on the
church records in just one week. Turru's
wife was on the list. So went for our visit with a Lesson prepared
about Living Prophets, and The
Family Proclamation to the World. Little did we know that
Turru would be there, and the previous
missionaries and our Father in Heaven had been preparing
Turru to investigate the church. Over
the past 5 months we have been able to teach him everything.
He missed his first baptisimal date
because he didn't feel like he had a strong testimony. We
gave him a challenge to read, pray, and
study General Conference with his wife every night. 3 weeks
later he told us in his broken english "Iam ready, I have a testimony, I
am converted." Turru is in example on charity, love and happiness.
He has already blessed the Branch in Liberec in so many
ways. At his baptism he invited a lot of
friends and they all came to support him. He even gave us
the contact information for all of his
friends and set up a lesson for us to teach one of the
families that was there later this week. Not
only is Turru an amazing missionary, he is also an amazing
friend and is eager to get the
Priesthood and take his wife to the temple. After the
baptism he told us, "Today is my new
Birthday, I will celebrate every year. Thank you so
much." We love our best friend Turru and now
It was a great day and the 1st Baptism Liberec has had in a
couple years! Ill send pics
Also a highlight of the week was on Wednesday we had a Book
of Mormon Campaign Finding here in Liberec with another district! It was very
successful! We were blessed beyond measure! We gave out 20 copies of the Book of
Mormon and received 22 numbers from people! It was really awesome to do! One of
my favorite contacts of the day was my last one; I actually didn't get his contact but in
the end I managed to get this guy Petr who had no belief in God and did not
want to talk with me at all to take a Book of Mormon read the 1st passage from
the campaign which has the question does God exist and to pray about it! It was
way cool! I'm sure I will see him again someday!!!
That was really about it for my week! It was a good one!
Today we went on a vylet with a member from Jicin so that was cool! Hit up some
castle ruins!!
Love you all!!
