letter from April 29
So first of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNAH it's the big 16!! It is just too bad that the dating age was raised to "only date while your older brother is in town." But don't worry Hannah I will be more than happy to accompany you on you dates as that is my job.....
This week was an interesting week. We set a baptismal date with A...... this week but then he didn't come to our next lesson after seeing him 10 mins before on the street. He hasn't answered his phone either so we had to drop it. That is the third date in a row that has just dissappeared. Not sure what more we can do...
We have a way cool investigator named A...... right now. She is 17 and super smart. Long story short she made friends with a member on Facebook and she was invited to come to seminary. She came to church and then called us to meet with us. Before our first meeting she had read until Jacob. She accepts everything we are teaching. She even woke up early on Sunday to read more in the Book of Mormon. Her mom is ok with her finding her own church but she is supposed to read the entire Bible before she makes a decision. We are hoping to meet with her mother and start teaching her as well. We will see how it goes. It is pretty funny because we have to get 2 members on each lesson because we can't teach her alone or teach 2 on 2. But a little birdie told me we are getting Sister missionaries in Center next transfer so that will be really nice to have them here.
So prayers were answered. President Klebingat came down to do some training for the branch leadership. The Zone Leaders and I were invited to the meeting to help us understand what to do to help the branch. President asked us before hand what we wanted him to talk about. He covered it all really well. The next day we had branch council. It started out like usual but then they asked the missionaries to go. This is where it went good. I went up to the front with our progress record and began reading about out investigators and our recent converts. I asked for the help we needed and then talked about the activity that we will be doing in May. I practised this speach a lot haha. We gave them two options for the activity and they picked a "I'm a Mormon Night." Then Elder Detro from the other companionship stood up and gave his part. From then on the meeting was very organized and things came to conclusions. Call it pride but it was us that started the trend. There are still a lot of steps that we need to make with this branch but this past one was a big one.
Alright so Mother's day is in to weeks Sunday. It is the same rules as last time so we can skype. I'm not sure where we will do it or when yet. Next week please let me know what times work for you. We are usually open on Sundays. Also let me know when Church starts. Next week we will finalize it. Also durring this skype call I plan to organize everything that has to do with mom, dad, and Hannah coming to pick me up that way we can finalize everything. So look on line at anything you want to do and I will find out how much train tickets cost and other things.
Well that is it for me. Love you all a ton.
Love Elder Quinn
