This week has been an uneventful week.
But we did get more snow. On Tuesday night we got 20 cm of snow. We were
stuck in our apartment the next morning until Brother Hirtle plowed us
out. We were supposed to be going to district meeting in Sackville that
day but because we were snowed in we Skyped in instead. All of
the meetings at the Church were cancelled Wednesday evening because
members were still getting shoveled out. On Saturday it was snowing
hard. We had planned to go to Liverpool that afternoon and we did. After
only being there for two hours, President Pratt called all the
missionaries back in lieu of the snow storm. So we turned around and
headed back to Bridgewater at about 4 o'clock
in the afternoon; then we were in our apartment for the rest of the
night. The sad thing was that we were supposed to be having rabbit in Liverpool on Saturday. I was really looking forward to that too. Because of the snow that was accumulated on Saturday, Church got
postponed to 2 o'clock in the afternoon and it was just sacrament meeting. Not a lot of people showed up.
Chris
and I will be watching a worldwide missionary broadcast on Wednesday.
The missionary executive council and the Presidency of the Seventy will
be training the missionaries and the mission presidents. The broadcast
is entitled "Teach Repentance and Baptize Converts." They will be talking
to us about the process of repentance that leads to baptism. It should
be really good. This is the first worldwide missionary broadcast that I've had on my mission so I assume it's pretty important. Be sure to
follow up with us about next week.
On Tuesday, I went on
splits with Austin Fraser while
Elder Evans and Elder Quinton went knocking. We taught some investigators the plan of
salvation. We didn't have a lot of time so we weren't able to go into
detail with every point. I just did a brief overview. The lesson went
pretty well, I was able to control the conversation and keep Austin
involved. They were asking some tough questions like "At what point does
the spirit enter the body?", "Why couldn't have there been more then
one pair of Adam and Eve's?", "What are the specifics of where we came
from?" I didn't have answers to all these questions but I did say that
nowhere in scripture does it say the exact details of where we came
from.
Have a good week!
Love,
Elder O'Brien (the older)
