Dear Family and Friends,
How
are you guys doing? How is everyone's Labor Day weekend going? I had a
great week here in Anthem - sharing the Gospel and helping others Come
unto Christ. The weather has been still hot in the 100's but on Friday
it was pouring rain while we were out luckily we stopped by a potential
investigator Cathy and talked to her for awhile. We had a great lesson
with her on her front porch on the Restoration. We had 2 great lessons
with Lea on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Sabbath day. On
Saturday, we gave her a church tour and she loved it and felt the Spirit
in the chapel, the member fellowship Sister Timmerman even took her to
the Phoenix Temple site and to the Stake Center to see the Baptism font
so she was spiritually fed in one day. She is doing really great and we
are just working with the Ward Council to help her to come to Church
and partake of the sacrament. The Bishop brought up an idea to have her
in the Bishops office and hook up speakers so she could hear the talks
because of her sensitivity to noise in the chapel would be to noisy. So
hopefully we can help her to come to church this Sunday. We had a
great zone conference on Tuesday with great teachings by increasing our
Faith, understanding Principles instead of having rules, being Positive
and get rid of negative thoughts, and always inviting everyone to Come
unto Christ through ordinances. The excitement of learning that we got
trained on was online Proselyting. We are now authorized to be on the
internet to help others Come unto Christ. Our main social media that we
are using is Facebook. Before we can use Facebook for proselyting we
have to clean it up and make it missionary appropriate, which I have
been doing this past week and just got cleared to use it to proselyte.
It is a great tool to find, teach, contact our investigators, members
and anyone interested in learning about the Restored Gospel. I had a
great exchange with Elder Searle in his area which was nice to be in a
truck and seeing the Dessert of Phoenix. I had a great District Meeting
on checking our progress in the 12 week training and how we can improve
in the things we need improvement. I also had my 3rd baptism interview
with Mary, a nice older lady that is really excited to be baptized.
That is one of the most spiritual moments of being a District Leader is
interviewing investigators and hearing why they want to be baptized and
the spirit confirming that they are ready to make their covenants with
God. We had a great Sabbath day with wonderful testimonies and great
teaching lessons in Sunday School and Priesthood. No one came to church
but hopefully we can get some next week and we are focusing on finding
new investigators because that is where missionary work all starts is
first finding those that are prepared to hear the restored Gospel. I
love and miss you guys.
Love,
Elder Lance Kuhi Cabral
