Friends Bringing Friends

Hey mama,

I haven't seen any fall leaves so far, but I'll keep my eye out for 'em. From what I've seen, everything just stays green all year long.

We actually had fast and testimony meeting this week. Only Saturday sessions were broadcasted by our branch and that was last week. Unfortunately, we didn't have any friends at church this week. We haven't had any more lessons with the friends that have come to church, but we're having one tonight with Les and Lee.

Amazingly, we taught all those high schoolers again, and they brought more friends the second time. Once again we taught more about who Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are, and we taught them how to pray. One of the kids reached out a couple days later and asked us for a reminder on how to pray, so that was cool.

There have been crazy things happening with the sisters, they all swapped around, and now we're chilling. Most of the YSA were gone this week, but we had a district activity with those still home and it was a lot of fun. This artist I met on the train came, but we haven't taught him anything. His mom told him not to go to the activity because we would brainwash him. 😆 We're going to dinner with him again tomorrow and hopefully we can share a message with him and not have his mom scare him off.

So this week all the YSA have a convention, it seems like an FSY for young adults to meet up and find companions. Later this year, in December, the youth will have their actual FSY.

We have a few members willing to help, but we haven't gotten any referrals unfortunately. Most of the inactive members don't respond to anything and they live too far away to go visit. Luckily, we've had some members willing to drive us around to see a couple. They haven't come to church yet, but we finally met them.

Miracle:

We've been teaching this group of friends and this week we had our second lesson with the original guy we met, the second lesson for a couple of his friends and the first for another three. Every time we meet, there are more and more friends there, and it's been awesome.

Challenge:

I've been rather indecisive lately, and I feel like it's slowed things down a lot. I've gotta stop thinking so much and just go to work.

Good News:

We should be going down to Malaka for sacrament meeting next week, so we'll be meeting a lot of members who live too far away for us to meet on our own for the first time.

Love you,

Elder Jaxon Wardle
