The meeting last week with Elder Richards was Awesome. He
trained us on what the pilot program actually is. It is going to be
really cool. We are going to be using family history a lot more in
finding and in lessons with investigators. It is going to be really neat
to see how it all works out. It is definitely inspired that our mission
was chosen for this pilot. Yesterday we were walking to our car from a
members home and there were 2 ladies across the street talking so we
went over to invite them to this huge stake community Christmas event
and then we asked if there was anything we could do for them. They then
asked us if we knew where a family history center was. We told them
where there was one and we are going to have the members that live next
to them invite them and we are going to try what we were just trained
on. It is going to be really interesting to see how this works. Elder
Richards said " it all weighs on the shoulders of the leaders" so we
have a big responsibility to make sure this works. We are going to be
training all the missionaries on it tomorrow in our zone training
meeting. It is going to be where the rubber hits the road. Hopefully it
all works out.
This weekend the stake here is having this huge Christmas
event that is a big deal. There are choirs from all over the community
that will be singing, they have a live nativity, hundreds of little
nativities and a live nativity. It is going to be super cool. In years
past the missionaries haven't been invited, but we have been invited to
be the ushers so that is going to be really cool. I am excited to see
how it all turns out. Were you able to watch the Christmas devotional
yesterday? It was super good, I really liked Elder Nelsons talk. If you
didn't see it you should go watch it.
Saturday night we went to the Ward Adult Christmas party.
It was a progressive dinner. It was super interesting being with all
the adults, I felt so out of place but it was a great time to build
relationships with them. I had never been to one of those before so it
was definitely a new experience.
The teaching right now is pretty slow but we have a
couple people that we are teaching that are ready to be baptized. One
investigator we have has a boyfriend on a mission and he is actually the
one that has been teaching her. Weird right? He is teaching over skype.
It is really interesting to see how much missionary wok has changed
since I first came out. She has a baptismal date for February so we are
working with her to try to move it up, because she is ready, so we will
see what happens.
It is crazy how much is going on here, we have been so
busy it is crazy. Everyone here is seeing miracles everyday which has
been awesome! The work is definitely going forward! Transfers are next
Tuesday so we will find out this Saturday night what happens. I am
pretty sure I will be staying because I don't have very much time, but
we will see what happens. I will let you know next week.
Sounds like everything is going great back Home. There is
nothing specific that I would like, what ever you send is great. You
really don't even have to send me anything, just send the package to the
other missionary. How is the weather there? has there been very much
snow? Anything new and exciting?
Thanks for everything mom! I Love You!!
Love, Elder RINDLISBACHER
