This week was absolutely incredible. A LOT happened so I'll
try and remember everything.
We started the week off with Zone Conference, where we got a
thorough whipping from our leaders (The best kinds of meetings). I love finding
ways to improve and there's nothing like getting paddled by President to get
the Zone fired up. I found out that Elder Dewey is going to be training! To use
our crazy missionary lingo, I'm going to be a grandfather! From there I went on
exchange to Leland with Elder Hook. I was in Leland to give a baptismal
interview to one of their investigators. He passed and I was also able to give
some counsel to Elder Hook who has recently been called to train as well.
The ward has been catching fire ever since the
"Hastening the Work" broadcast. We've found four new investigators
this week and all of them came from the members. Three of them are a family
where the daughter was dating one of the members of the ward and had been
coming to church with him. Our first lesson with them was in those members'
home and the accepted a baptismal date right there. They're already through the
first two lessons! We found the other one on Sunday while going on a home
teaching visit with one of the bishop's counselors. He said that in the
past couple of years no missionaries had thought it worth their time to go on
this visit with him. That was such a prepared family and the husband also
accepted a baptismal date in the first lesson. We have a goal of five baptisms
in August and so far we have four people preparing for the 24th.
Our new ward mission leader took us to the beach this
morning for breakfast at Britt's donuts (seriously the best glazed doughnut
that I've ever eaten). Elder Winger goes home on Wednesday so we decided to
bring him along and make some 'sand temples.'
I am looking forward to this next transfer. I can't wait to
hear from y'all again!
Love,
Elder Perryman
