November 7th, 2016 - Week 13

Today was Griffin's birthday and P-Day, so a few of us got permission to take Griffin and his companion out to lunch! We went and got sushi because that is one of Griffin's favorite things. Here is the letter that he sent this morning. It sounds like he is having a really good time.

So this week was really awesome. First off p-day was on Halloween, so
we had a full day of p-day, which was amazing. We weren't allowed to
go out passed 6 so we meet at a church building and chilled in there
until 9, we played games and watched inside out, which was really fun.
Then we did missionary work this week, so we got a whole family to
commit to baptism, another investigator, and then we met this awesome
family this week. So this family we found has a single mom and two
young boys, and we were talking about the the plan of salvation and
they all agreed that they wanted to be baptized, and are basically
ready, all they need to do is go to church three times, same thing
with this other investigator. This other family has an inactive dad
and a nonmember mom, and the mom really is considering baptism and the
dad is fully supportive of it, and the dad is trying to reactivate, he
just struggles with some word of wisdom stuff, but pasted that he
could baptize her if he wanted. So this week we had four investigators
come to church with us, and I'm going to guess that the other went
also to sacrament, but they live a different area and can't walk that
fast. Then yesterday after church I gave my first blessing which was
awesome, then I had to go on splits with the zone leaders and I helped
them commit someone to baptism and reading the Book of Mormon. And
today is my Birthday, overall this week has been amazing and I've
really started to see the hand of the Lord in my life.
